Side Project’s Marble Lions stout just struck gold at the Great American Beer Festival.

A 12% Missouri Imperial Stout brewed with peanuts, Thai banana nibs, Ugandan vanilla, and cocoa nibs — it’s basically Elvis’s favorite sandwich in a glass.

Pronounced “oh-khut-zel-schvoaf” (but mercifully shortened to O-Katz), it translates to “tail of a squirrel,” which I’m told is just a bit of Bavarian humor.

It's clear that a directory or simply list of breweries isn't going to cut it anymore, giving users clear & concise real time information is what will help drive discovery.

I'm super excited that something big will be coming to stlbeer.org over the next couple of week, its been a long time coming.
It's becoming clear to me that the average beer consumer is oblivious to breweries in their own community. If you enjoy any local brewery, restaurant, or business take a moment to share their content, it can make a huge difference in one of your friends discovering something new.

On June 29, St. Louis beer lovers will raise a glass to Wellspent Brewing (2917 Olive) one last time.

After seven years of pouring some of the city’s most nuanced, quietly spectacular beers, the Midtown taproom is closing its doors.
