My wife and I are visiting St. Louis this weekend from Ohio and were hoping to try some good local brews. I was going for some recommendations on local brew pubs or brews to pick up that you think would be worth hauling back with us. Thanks in advance.
Stop by the actual breweries and enjoy their ambiance. Perennial, Schlafly, Urban Chestnut, Civil Life, and 4 Hands are all in or pretty close to down town.
This is a good guide: http://stlhops.com/st-louis-beer-guide/ It's also the end of St. Louis Craft Beer Week: http://www.stlbeerweek.com/
