Tons of exciting beer just arrived!


But first....HUGE NEWS!!

Cory King of Side Project Brewing has brewed two special beers for the 30th Anniversary of our Forsyth location - check the last post at the bottom for details on the tasting!



Hoptimum is here!

The famous Triple IPA returns for a very limited time!


Sierra Nevada Hoptimum Triple IPA....2026 Edition...$14.99 / 6pk


Fancy seeing me here! After all, the place can hardly hold 11% — I’m scraping the rafters. Makes for a good view, and it’s clear when a room needs what I’ve got in spades: fruity, dank, and devilishly hoppy flavor. Your night is looking up. Savor it and don’t blink because I like to vanish in a puff of lupulin dust.

A new one from 2nd Shift

2nd Shift ESB British Pale Ale...$10.99 / 4pk 16oz


The second release in our Staff Artists Series is here, brought to you by our Brand Ambassador Monty! Combining his affinity for street art with his love of classic styles of beer, it made sense for him to work on a style we’ve never done with a look we’ve never done - an Extra Special Bitter (ESB). Old School meets New School. This British Style Pale is balanced with an amber color, has the caramel malty flavor you’d expect to get from this style, low bitterness with a bit of sweetness & hop presence.


New Limited release from Lindemans

Lindemans Beer Cuvee De L Amitie...$15.99 / 750ml


Lindemans Oude Gueuze Cuvée de l'Amitié is a limited edition lambic blend created exclusively for our fans in the USA. Its name roughly translates to 'Friendship Blend', an ode to the blending process that was a collaboration between the brewery, friends and customers from the United States. Cuvée de l'Amitié is a unique blend of three, five and six-year-old lambics aged in large oak foeders. It is a traditional Oude Gueuze with notes of green apple and elderflower. Each sip ends with a dry and sparkling finish, similar to fine champagne. Lindemans Oude Gueuze Cuvée de l'Amitié was recognized by Beer Connoisseur and Craft Beer & Brewing magazines for its exceptional flavor and presentation. Production was limited to 12,000 bottles.

O'Fallon 5 Day IPA returns!

Return of a classic - this was once voted best beer in STL by the Riverfront times!


O'Fallon 5 Day IPA...$10.99 / 6pk

One of our original flagship beers, 5 Day is anything but a traditional IPA. Balanced with a nice malty smoothness, the beer is then dry-hopped for a full 5 Days in the tank, resulting in an IPA bursting with citrus and piney flavors.

Left Hand Good Juju Ginger Ale

Left Hand Good Juju Ginger Pale Ale...$10.99 / 6pk


A light-bodied pale ale brewed with fresh ginger we juice by hand in our brewhouse.

Live life in full bloom! Good Juju springs forth every year bursting with ginger spice, playful hops, and all the possibilities of new beginnings. Our employee owners press fresh ginger by hand, squeezing golden rays of sunshine & serendipity into every sip of this radiant pale ale. This refreshing frivolity of spring awakening cultivates good vibes and frees your inner light.

4.5% ABV.



Returning Seasonal!

Blonde Nitro Ale with a Subtle Berry Zing in a Strikingly Pink Pour
You stand out in a crowd and only need one leg to find balance. You’re not afraid to get your feet wet and you don’t give a flock what others think. You embrace your inner flamingo and dare to turn your dreams into reality. You’re ready for pink beer. Flamingo Dreams is a refreshing change from the ordinary with a berry burst, frisky zing and a Nitro glide that’ll bring out your vibrant side. Join the flock and let’s flamingle.

Off Color Beer for Hot Dogs

Off Color Beer For Hot Dogs...$10.99 / 4pk

This light, clear and crisp beer will cut right through the rich, fattiness of a hot dog. A sweet, fruity essence from Applewood dried malt and a slightly spicy hop note from traditional German hops adds depth of flavor. Ingredients: Pilsner malt, Vienna malt, Applewood dried malt, dextrin, Nugget hops, Hersbrucker hops.


Off Color Strawberry Beer for Tacos

Off Color Strawberry Beer For Tacos...$10.99 / 4pk


Pouring cherry blossom pink and bursting with floral wild strawberries aromatics, Strawberry Beer for Tacos pay tribute to the strawberry margarita while remaining distinctly unique. The flavor highlights a touch of lime acidity under a robust strawberry yogurt tang. A saline finish rounds out the nose and concludes yet another Off Color beer to pair perfectly with your taco. Ingredients: Pilsner malt, Wheat, Flaked Wheat, Oats, Nugget Hops, Lime Juice, Pink Himalayan Salt, Coriander

Key Lime Pie Beer!

Prairie Artisan Ales Key Lime Pie...$11.99 / 4pk

 

Sour ale with key lime, vanilla, and lactose.

Bright, tangy, and unapologetically decadent, Prairie Key Lime Pie Sour Ale is dessert in a glass with a wild edge. Brewed by Prairie Artisan Ales, this pastry sour delivers a punch of fresh key lime zest layered over a silky graham-cracker backbone and a soft vanilla cream finish. The acidity is lively but balanced, giving it that unmistakable “first bite of key lime pie” snap without losing drinkability. At its core, it’s equal parts tart fruit character and indulgent bakery richness—sharp citrus up front, smooth pie crust sweetness on the back end. It’s the kind of beer that blurs the line between cocktail, dessert, and craft ale, built for fans who want bold flavor without restraint.

Side Project Biere du Nord...$29.99


Wine Barrel Fermented Missouri Bière de Mars Biere du Nord is our Biere de Mars, brewed to celebrate spring of the new year. This Amber Missouri Saison was brewed in December of 2023 and aged until September of 2024. Bottled in October after a final blend of this Puncheon Fermented Saison was reached, we allowed it to condition in the bottle until it was ready to share with you!

Side Project Sea Ponies DDH DIPA

Double Dry-Hopped Double IPA featuring Galaxy, Nectaron, Citra Cryo Hops. 8% ABV


Side Project "For Forsyth"

Double Barrel-Aged Missouri Imperial Stout

For Forsyth is our special blend for The Wine and Cheese Place on Forsyth, a location we visit often and the home of many Side Project releases. We thank them for their support through the years and are excited for this special blend to honor their 30th anniversary. For Forsyth is a small blend of only two oak barrels. Started in early 2024, the OWK recipe was racked to Willett 4 year Rye Barrels for 16 months before being finished in Buffalo Trace Barrels for 11 months and then blended and bottled for you.
