Love the map, thanks. If only Fenway had a selection that good.

 

If yoy feel like driving on hwy 40 a little further west, Annie Gunns in Chesterfield is definately worth a stop. Youll have to make reservations, of course, but its worth it. They specialize in using local, farm fresh ingredients.

Cheers

Ok folks I'll be in St Louis myself here shortly. I will be going to a Cardinals game , The zoo , Grants Farm and Six Flags so any bottle shops I can hit up in those areas would be great. Also is there any bottle shops across the River that carry beers sold in Illinois and not Missouri? I know I do pretty good at the state lines around here. I would be willing to drive 30 miles or so across the state line to buy some quality brew. I know Oskar Blues is limited in Illinois but I would really like to get a case of Deviant Dales

 

No Oscar blues in so ill, take 64/40 across to Randall's in fairview heights. Down the street from grants farm is a friar tucks

 

What about FFF's , any of it distributed that far south in Illinois?

 

Definitely worth a stop when we venture out of town it looks like. Thanks.

 

A couple years ago they did, they pulled out around the same time as dfh around 2009 maybe?

 

4 hands is my favorite local brewer in the downtown area, i stop in there as often as i can, amazing beer, the guys there are all awesome, and the brewpub is really cool too, i tell as many people as i can about them, and anyone visiting st louis would be missing out if they didnt stop in

 

In town, first stop, urban chestnut for lunch and beer.

 

This is probably Eat Rite. REALLY small, white building?

 

Alright salami beddu was awesome for lunch, urban chestnut for 2 taster flight,and then 1 taster flight at 4 hands(every beer was really solid). Now to pick a place for dinner. People around here are wicked friendly.

 

Couldn't reccomend Bailee's range enough, great burgers, tap selection, and the in house ice cream. Hit up Schlafly taproom on the way back to the hotel. Definitely a good first day.

 

that is definitely what he was talking about, you cant miss it if you are driving by, its kind of out in the open

 

sounds like you really hit a lot of really good spots for your first day, baileys and 4hands are some of my favorite places in the city, whats on tap (see what i did there?) for the rest of the weekend?

 

I see what you did there. Comet coffee began the day, went and explored the arch and riverfront, lunch at local harvest, drove to meramac caverns, came back and went to Perennial(shoot out between them and 4 Hands for favorite so far), then dinner at Sidney St. cafe, which was awesome, except the espresso which was not nearly thick enough to be called espresso.

Today, tower grove farmers market, sump coffee, Cahokia mounds, boggarts, I tap, Cherokee lemp antique row, and probably mission taco's. Who knows after that.

 

I was born and raised in St. Louis, and I haven't had this awesome of a trip here, ever!! I may have to attempt to draw inspiration from you on this!! Sounds like you are hitting ALL of the best St. Louis has to offer...

 

i have to agree with joshbrews, you are rockin st. louis pretty hard, if you are thinking about mission taco though, which is down in the delmar loop, you might want to also think about Pi if you are into pizza, and jilly's is a really good cupcake place, guy that bakes there won some cupcake reality show competition, twice if im remembering right

 

Thanks guys, enjoying some brews at civil life right now. Trying to figure out dinner now Pi is an option, mission, salt, pastaria, not sure yet. Someone at 4 hands had Jilly's when I was there and the bartender also recommended it.

It's either 4 hands or Perennial again to end my time here.
