23 Best Craft Breweries near Maplewood

“As someone who visits breweries all over, I had high expectations here. And they did NOT disappoint. The beer here is stellar. I mean absolute top shelf stuff. The people here are really friendly, they have a ton of merch. But the main reason to come here, the beer. One of the top 10 I've ever been to.“

“We stopped here for a beer when we had an hour or so to kill. I look forward to returning what I have more time and will it be able to eat some pizza? The beers were yummy. Since it was our first time, we had several five ounce pours, a great way to get to know a brewery. The pizza looked smelled delicious too.“

“We experienced the Clydesdale VIP tour yesterday and highly recommend it. Our guide was Randy and he did a fabulous job of sharing information regarding the history of Anheuser-Busch and how the Clydesdales became part of their iconic signature. The biggest thrill of the tour was meeting Lester, a semi retired former lead horse on a Clydesdale team. We were able to able to talk to him, pet him and take photos with him. It was a dream come true experience!“

“We did the Day Fresh tour on a Thursday morning (10:30am) in June. The tour lasted about 90 minutes with several stops during the tour. We visited the Clydesdale horses and stable, fermenting and bottling buildings, sampled beer while we learned about the ingredients in Budweiser beer, took a trolley ride back to the staring place, and ended the tour with a 20oz draft as part of the tour. Also part of the Day Fresh tour, everyone over 21 was given a bottle of beer that had been bottled less than 24 hours before. This tour was great-make sure to spend time in the gift shop after the tour. So many fun gifts and souvenirs. Highly recommend!!
*side note* closed toed shoes are highly recommended by AB“

“In town from Ohio for the UD-SLU game and arrived at Blue Jay Brewing 45 minutes before scheduled opening (unknowingly). Our first time there based on a recommendation down near Pappy’s. Jay saw us outside, pulling on a locked door, and invited us in. The beer was very good - I had the Monarch, a Munich style Dunkel. Jay and his wife are doing it right. Recommend you make this one of your stops while in town. GO FLYERS!“

“Before their great beer could be found in cans at your local grocery store, there was the Civil Life Brewing Company tap room and restaurant. Great craft beer and perfect pub food & comfort food served in a German brew house style space. Fantastic outdoor seating. Friendly staff. Worth the trip to South City.“

“Can’t say enough good things about this place!! I recently threw my husband’s 40th birthday here and it was truly perfect. The owners and staff were so incredibly kind, accommodating, helpful and just all around really great people! Not to mention everyone that came was really blown away by how perfect this space was! The inside/outside combo, how it’s super kid friendly and pet friendly was a massive bonus. Honestly nothing like this in STL. Thank you for being such a great addition to such a special milestone!“

“Our October wedding at 2nd Shift Brewing was unforgettable! We had about 100 guests and everyone who attended raved about the great drinks and friendly bar staff. We rented out the venue from 5-10pm on Saturday night and the 2nd Shift team was so helpful in the planning process leading up to the event and setting up/executing the event on wedding day. We were so glad we chose 2nd Shift for our wedding and have no regrets!“

“Great place with great staff. Good food and better beer. Lots of variety, so there’s something for every beer drinker.“

“Great beer and a fun atmosphere - give them a try, you won’t be disappointed!“

“love this place. the crew, the brew, the food is all great- BUT PLEASE bring back the picky eater. we want to come by more often but miss this fav so we just don't drop by as frequently now. thanks!“

“All around great evening. Beers world class and food was excellent.“

“I recently hosted an event at Alpha Brewing, and I couldn't be happier with how everything turned out! We used their private event room, which was spacious and perfect for our group of 20. We loved that we could use their audio system and had a TV we could control ourselves. The team at Alpha, especially Andrew, was fantastic in helping us play every detail (at a pretty last minute pace at that), from setting up the space to providing the catering through their on-site kitchen. The food was delicious and Alpha provides their own beer and seltzers, but also had cocktails on draft as well!

Communication was easy throughout the planning process, and they really went above and beyond to make sure our event was a success. If you're looking for a great brewery in St. Louis for hosting events (or just to hang out on their fabulous patio), with amazing food, beer, and services, I highly recommend Alpha Brewing.“

“Attended a birthday party here yesterday. Great ciders and food. Staff was amazing as well. Will definitely be back!“

“My family ask to say Merry Christmas and say thank you for buying the Ford car that had a Handel no stearing wheel from 1901 with wooden spokes from herold niffin my step father from Benton Illinois back in 1985 thank you from our family to yours“

“Great Beers, food and atmosphere!“

“Attended an event at the Biergarten. Great space to hold an event. Service was great. Staff was friendly and professional. Food was ok. Space was clean and bright inside. Someones parking can be an issue, weekday it usually is not an issue. Worth checking out if you are in the area.“

“We visited the other day and enjoyed HiPointe. The burger and sweet potato tots were not only amazing the food looked just like the pictures. The cheeseburger egg rolls were wonderfully hot throughout devouring them. We had the lavender drink which was ok however I’m not a drinker so I’m not sure how it was supposed to taste 🥰. We will be returning Opening Day!!!!“

“Great crawfish boil and music“

“The food is great and the bartenders are super helpful.“

“I was at Rockwell Beer Company recently to celebrate my cousin's birthday. I don't drink, so I can't comment on the beer. The food, however, was good! I enjoyed The Rockwell burger along with the llama fries. The bacon jam on the burger was a tasty touch. I did enjoy the fries, but they might have had even too much sauce on them. Half of them got soggy before I could finish them, and I had to use a fork. They were most tasty, just messy. The building was cool and there were lots of TVs for enjoying sports. I'd definitely come back!“

“Great outdoor patio, a lot of good beer selections, and love their pretzel appetizer. The only reason I knocked off a star is because when I went they didnt have many wine offerings, I know this is a beer garden but as a non beer lover it just would've been nice to have a few options, but will definitely be back!“

“Great eats, drinks, service, and ambiance!“
