334. Square One Brewery – IPA India Pale Ale

We’ve already stopped at Urban Chestnut, Six Row, and The Stable, so our next stop on our mini tour of St. Louis microbreweries was Square One Brewery.  I’ve been here a few times, and there’s something about how these tap handles line up with the arched window that I find artistic.  Oh, and the beer here pretty good too.  However, much like we discovered at Six Row, it seemed that the selection was limited to the...

333. Bear Republic – Ryevalry

As I mentioned in my last post, I’m on a “mini-micro” tour, visiting 3-4 microbreweries in St. Louis with my friend Joe.  We stopped at The Stable, a craft beer bar and nanobrewery, because I had a gift certificate from my sister.  Since I’d already had a couple of Double IPAs this afternoon, including the STLIPA at Urban Chestnut, and the Double IPA at Six Row, I thought I’d try this Belgian style double...

332. Grand Teton – Pursuit of Hoppiness

After hitting Urban Chestnut Brewing and Six Row Brewing in St. Louis, I asked my friend if we could stop at The Stable, a craft beer bar and nano brewery.  My sister bought me a gift certificate to this bar for Christmas, and this was one of the few chances I had to use it.  After having Grand Teton’s Sweet Grass APA a couple weeks ago, and having a craving for another hoppy beer (after finishing off a double IPA at both Six...

331. Six Row Brewing – Double IPA

After having the STLIPA and Winged Nut at Urban Chestnut, my friend Joe and I headed over to Six Row in St. Louis on our “mini-micro tour” (stopping at 3-4 microbreweries today).  We were bummed we missed out on their bacon infused “Porked Porter” yesterday.  Additionally, their taps seemed a bit limited, as the bartender mentioned that they were preparing for the St. Louis Brewers Heritage Festival next...

330. Urban Chestnut – STLIPA (St. Louis India Pale Ale)

As I mentioned in my last post, I’m in St. Louis doing a “mini-micro tour” (hitting 3-4 microbreweries) with my friend Joe.  After lunch, our first stop was Urban Chestnut brewing for a couple beers. They have a very cool set up in an old carriage garage, and both the brewery and bar are new and modern. Joe and I sat at the corner of the bar and had samples of several different beers.   They are very, very generous...

329. Urban Chestnut – Winged Nut

After having an awesome lunch at The Shaved Duck, my friend Joe took me to the first stop of our “mini-micro” tour of St. Louis – Urban Chestnut.  It’s a microbrewery that opened in January near the St. Louis University campus.  Founders Florian Kuplent and David Wolfe started it after leaving Anheuser-Busch when it was bought out by InBev.  I’ve heard good things about them and was really looking forward...

328. Griesedieck Bros. – Premium Golden Pilsner

I’m in St. Louis today for the beginning of my annual golf weekend. My friend Joe (seen in the background having a Stone IPA) lives here and set up a nice half day “mini-micro” tour as I call it. We’re planning to hit 3-4 microbreweries here in St. Louis. Before getting started we knew we had to get some food in us, and a few beers, since it’s about 100 degrees outside. We stopped at the Shaved Duck for...
