Tip: The pumpkin ale in autumn and the pale ale year-round are the calling cards. The brewpub kitchen does solid pub food.
Address: 2100 Locust St, St. Louis, MO 63103
4 Hands brews a broad American range from IPAs to barrel-aged stouts at a large taproom near Soulard, one of the city's most widely distributed craft names.
Tip: The taproom near the stadium fills on game days. City Wide is the easy-drinking flagship; ask about barrel-aged releases.
Side Project is the metro's most acclaimed craft brewery, specialising in barrel-aged sours and farmhouse ales that draw national beer pilgrims to Maplewood.
Tip: Allocations of the sought-after barrel-aged bottles go fast; check release schedules. The nearby Cellar is the tasting bar.
Rockwell's flagship near the Grove brews crisp lagers and saisons and pours them with tavern-style pizza, a well-regarded newer name in St. Louis beer.
Tip: The tavern-style pizza pairs with the house lager. Rockwell also runs a seasonal beer garden in Francis Park.
Civil Life brews sessionable English-style ales in Tower Grove South, a low-key brewery whose American Brown is a local classic. A neighbourhood beer garden.
Tip: The American Brown is the order, ideally in the leafy beer garden. It is cash-friendly and unpretentious by design.
Narrow Gauge brews some of the region's most sought-after hazy IPAs in Florissant, a small operation that took silver at the 2025 Great American Beer Fest.
Tip: The hazy and imperial IPAs are the reason to make the north-county drive. Can releases sell through quickly.
Ryan and Lindsay Sherring brew Belgian-inspired and American styles at this Maryland Heights taproom, a husband-and-wife operation growing since 2015.
Tip: The taproom is family-friendly with rotating taps. A west-county stop worth pairing with nearby Creve Coeur Lake.
