I am attending a wedding just outside of St. Louis Area. I am coming from the Chicago land area. I was wondering if there are any brewery's and stores I should stop at? Also any suggestions of beers not obtainable in my area I should grab while down there? Thanks in advance@@
Try Randall's in Fairview Heights... Also the St. Louis city guide. Lots of new breweries in the STL area, (2nd Shift, Perennial, 4 Hands, Urban Chestnut) and Schlafly.
This is a very good guide for the St. Louis area: http://stlhops.com/st-louis-beer-guide/ As mentioned above, St. Louis has a lot of new breweries, and they are worth visiting if you have time. If you are looking to have a beer near Fairview Heights, Global Brew and Tap House just opened a second location in O'fallon, which is no more than a 5 minute drive down Interstate 64 from Fairview: http://www.globalbrewtaps.com/
If you like barbecue, eat at 17th St. Barbecue in O'Fallon. It is awesome. The owner is three time Memphis in May Grand World Champion Mike Mills. On the barbecue competition circuit he's known as "The Legend".
Thanks all for the information. We visited Budweiser Brewery and Schlafly Brewery. Also stopped at Randall's Liquor and picked up some goodies, including their last Love Child #2
