12 Best Craft Breweries in St. Louis

“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!“

“Jake the owner has honestly the best beers in town and he'll make it a point to come talk to each and every person who comes in the Civil Life man I love this place and it has a old British atmosphere.Not enough kind words to say about this place.“

“Second shift brewing is such a fantastic hidden gem tucked away in an industrial park. It may not be the most glamorous location, but it’s absolutely the prime spot. The outdoor area is great, and the inside is incredibly clean, spacious, and welcoming. Dogs are allowed both inside and outside, which makes it even better. The beer is excellent, the Hefeweizen, especially stood out as one of the best I’ve had. I didn’t realize they serve food, and wow, they really did deliver. The menu is small, but full of great options, and the Shrimp sandwich I ordered was amazing. Definitely a must visit and easily one of my favorite breweries.“

“The sour beer & reuben 10/10 🤌🏼 Also - the puppies approved“

“Great beer and friendly service“

“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“

“We were visiting St. Louis for a couple of days and found this gem not far from our Airbnb. After a long drive a cold beer was in order and this brewery did not disappoint. They also have some really good Sours and one that is aged in a Chardonnay barrel, it was sooo good!“

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

“Great crawfish boil and music“
