Sierra Nevada is doubling down on Hazy Little Thing, Pale Ale, Pils and Trail Pass NA as its “core four” for 2027 growth in a tough craft market. 🍺📈 https://t.co/XqZyamTDDi
Last day of meteorological summer. How was yours? Good thing about Chicago is that continued heat is promised. We shift into the final third of summer and hold onto our June dreams. Sun gets starker. The chlorophyll frays. While Moss transcends. The beer for all seasons.
Joel Bittle thought St. Louis’ modern craft beer story began with the sale of Anheuser-Busch.
Then he started interviewing the people who lived it. 🍺

What’s your favorite St. Louis beer can of 2026 so far? 🍻
Here's a nomination: @MillpondBrewing's Freestyle Walking, designed by the brewer’s 7-year-old daughter. Tell us what has caught your eye, or better yet show us!
🍺 Do you remember your first craft beer?
Mine was a Schlafly Pale Ale at Tom’s Bar & Grill in the Central West End.
For plenty of St. Louis beer drinkers, Pale Ale was the beer that opened the door to craft beer.
Now I want to hear yours. https://t.co/OzSIH9zYC8

🍺 Sometimes you don’t need a story. You just need to stop by and have a beer.
Six Mile Bridge Beer celebrated its 11th anniversary this weekend, so I made my way to Maryland Heights to raise a glass.
Ryan and Lindsay Sherring have now spent more than a decade building Six Mile Bridge. And in the craft beer world of 2026, that feels particularly worth celebrating.
Thanks for the beer, Ryan and Lindsay.
Here’s to what comes next. 🍻
What’s your go-to Six Mile Bridge beer?
