Perennial, Civil Life breweries open in St. Louis
Industry colleague, Evan Benn of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, forwarded this over to me last week. The beer scene is booming in St. Louis right now and Missouri as a whole.
Thirteen months ago, former wine-bar owner Jake Hafner announced he was going to build a brewery out of a former newspaper-distribution warehouse in Tower Grove South. Ten days later, a brewer named Phil Wymore said he was going to move from Chicago to start a brewery in south St. Louis’ Carondelet-Patch neighborhood. Today, Hafner’s The Civil Life Brewing Co. and Wymore’s Perennial Artisan Ales are opening their doors, the newest wave in a tidal surge of craft beer that has swept into St. Louis in recent years.

Woot! love to hear about beer industry growth no matter were it is. It sucks that the the economy as a whole is down still…but Im glad craft beer can help fill in some of the empty spots, even if its just a little in some places.
