18 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.“

“2nd Shift Brewing absolutely blew us away. Not only is their beer/seltzer’s incredible (seriously—every single one we served was a hit), but their generous donation of drinks for our school trivia night made a huge impact.

From the very beginning, their team was so communicative, responsive, and genuinely easy to work with. Planning an event can be stressful, and they made the entire process seamless. Their generosity truly helped make our event such a success.

And the beer itself—top tier. So flavorful, well-crafted, and a crowd favorite all night. We had so many people asking where it was from and raving about it.

2nd Shift is the kind of local business you want to support—amazing product, even better people. We are so grateful and can’t recommend them enough!“

“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!“

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

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

“Great beer and friendly service“

“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“

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

“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!“

“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“

“We just hosted our daughter’s wedding reception at the AB Biergarten. From planning to execution we could not have been happier. Heather is an amazing coordinator and made the decision making process so easy. The staff on-site for the day of the event were terrific. It was an amazing day. Additionally, we used vendors that were all recommended by the team at AB, and they were all exceptional. Highly recommend this venue for a wedding reception“

“Great crawfish boil and music“

“20260608 Vacationing in STL and had a dinner with my friends from STL here tonight. Kailey was our waitress and she was excellent. This is my 3rd time visiting STL in the last 3.5 years, and the first time I had an attentive, competent and friendly waitress taking care of me and my friends. The food was good, and the prices are very reasonable considering how inflation has negatively impacted everyone's (businesses and individuals) wallet. The outdoor dogfriendly covered patio with ceiling fans was perfect, protecting us from the summer heat. I would come back for my future gathering with friends. Thank-you, Kailey!!“

“An excellent establishment! Great beer and cocktails. Their GM Sarah was so kind and helpful! Her knowledge of beer and their cocktail menu made me choosing my drink easy.
Plus, I hear they do events and reservations upstairs. I can’t wait to bring my company in for a happy hour.“

“Everything is good about this place the people food beer“

“Crossed paths with Ryan, head brewer at Rockwell Beer Co., while at Maifest in New Town, St. Charles. They brought 3 beers with them, and I tried to buy the entire inventory. I probably had 15 samples of the 3 beers, because of all the brewers represented at Maifest, Rockwell had the best of everything (flavor, finish, packaging, etc.). So darn good, I can't wait to hit up the beer garden when we visit the Zoo area this summer. New, huge fan of Rockwell Beer Company over here!!!“
