Anna Jensen: The brewery is the smaller (original) of the two venues. You're more likely here to have a conversation with your friendly bartender and catch an acoustic set than on the larger (O'Hooley's) side.

Riverfront Times: As 2010 RFT Best of St. Louis Winner - Best BrewPub you must also try the eats: warm, soft pretzels with white-cheddar dip, the brats and, of course, the fish and chips.

Cristina B.: Everything is good here. The beer is second to none, but this place is more than that. It's where friends gather, whether it'd be old ones, or ones you meet here.

meredith kerekes: Black Agnes is the way to go. Heart of Darkness is delicious, but bang for the buck - Black Agnes ftw.

paul adams: They brew lovely beer but the customer service is abysmal. Shop is never open + never answer the phone when you try to contact them? It's such a shame that customers seem an inconvenience.

Otto TheBierDude: Great new brewery, nice friendly staff, good tour, good beer samples A++

Jen Fox: These guys really know how to brew a good beer. They have consistently delicious stuff and are always selling all out.

Macy K.: If you stop in, try a beer flight! It's the perfect way to sample many of their unique beers. Also, sign the guest book.

Pat Gouin: Some of the best beer in New England. Do yourself a favor and stop by this brewery.
