    I'll be heading to St Louis for a conference this weekend and wanted to know if there's any good seasonal beer to pick up. I'm from Indiana so get a little distribution from that way (Schlafly mainly), I'm interested more in seasonal and special releases.

    Edit: Local Mead is also on the table as my wife and I have just got big into that.

    Thanks in advance.

    Side Project should have PN6 and Grisette to go.

    Box of Chocolates is a chocolate quad from Charleville that was released a week or 2 ago and can be found on the shelf. Option 2(coffee imperial milk stout) from Rock Bridge Brewing and Bennie(mocha stout) from Logboat Brewing are both great. Most other Logboat beers are good choices as well.

    Fallen Flag from Narrow Gauge Brewing is really good.

    Try the OJ Run and Cloud City if you go to Narrow Gauge. Heck, I like them all!

    You picked a great weekend to go. As others mentioned Side Project should have Pulling Nails blend 6 and Grissette to go, and starting Saturday at 12 through their Shared Brewing name they'll have their first ever release with a double dry hopped pale ale Proof of Concept, as well as another yet named beer. Narrow Gauge is also releasing their stout Zavtrak (stout with cinnamon, maple syrup, vanilla beans, and coffee) at 11 am. Highly suggest eating at the restaurant that Narrow Gauge is located inside (Cugino's) as well.

    Thanks for all of the suggestions, visited 7 breweries, picked up some good stuff to share with my fellow hoosiers.

    Anything this weekend? I'll have an hour or two in the city on Friday where I can step out and either have a beer or two on tap, or pick up some bottles to bring home. I'll be hubbed around the St. Louis University.

    I'll be in St. Louis as well this weekend (for the very first time). I'm going to try to hit up Perennial, Side Project and 4 Hands. Schlafly is having a stout and oyster festival so I'm going to take the wife to that on Saturday. I'll be checking out the craft beer cellar for bottles as recommended.

    Anyone know if there's a chance to find Abraxas?

    Abraxas is currently available to-go from the Perennial tasting room. Probably won't find it anywhere else.

    The Schlafly Stout and Oyster fest is an awesome time. Not a whalezbroz max profits type of event but just good beer/food/tunes

    You just nailed everything I plan on doing. I'll be in St. Louis for the first time as well this weekend, and I plan on hitting up Perennial, SP, and 4 Hands for sure. Hoping to find Abraxas, as well as some SP bottles to-go. The Schlafly Stout and Oyster fest sounds like a good time!

    Subscribed! I am not lucky enough to pull away from the family to get "beer time", but perhaps I can make the time someday to find some of these in one of the stores.

    I did get to try the Box of Chocolates from Charleville and I need to get more of that!

    You might get lucky with the Abraxas. I have been to the tasting room a couple times in the last month and Abraxas has been on the to-go list both times.

    I visited Perennial on Saturday and unfortunately they did not have it to-go. I was able to try Abraxas 2016 at Side Project and loved it!
