10 Best Breweries in Hazelwood

"Schlafly is a local brewery that brings the community together. The brewery itself, known as Bottleworks, offers free beer schools where those interested can learn about the history of Schlafly, the brewing process, and more interactive features. Bottleworks also hosts tours of the facilities, so you can see with your very own eyes how such delicious beer is made."

"The Schlafly Tap Room is another great spot for those who enjoy a beer with their meal. The Tap Room combines high-quality pub food like crab cakes, steamed mussels, and schnitzel with Schlafly's signature beers. You'll find brews like Pale Ale and Oatmeal Stout on the menu any time of the year, or for a special treat try a specialty or seasonal beer.​"

"The best German-style beers in town reside here: dunkels, zwickel lagers, Berliner weisse bocks, you name it. And if you hit the brewery’s location in The Grove, a popular strip west of the city, you can enjoy a pint in a traditional bierhall setting with schnitzel and currywurst. Hop across the street, and you can even sample a few of the brewery’s test batches at its Urban Research facility."

"Affectionately known to locals as UCBC, this St. Louis brewery perfectly blends timeless taste with modern flavors. They serve 15 beers in their ‘Revolution’ series, which are modern artisanal American beers, and the 13 beers in their ‘Reverence’ series celebrate classic European-styled drafts. Adding to the creative drafts are over 10 delicious bottled beers."

"This German-style brewery has a very traditional tap list and classic biergarten vibes. I recommend getting a stein of something clean like a Pilsner or Lager and the pretzel sticks."

"Anheuser-Busch is a historic staple in the culture of St. Louis. Known for brewing Budweiser, the “King of Beers,” the Anheuser-Busch brewery tour is a must-see attraction for visitors to the city. Located on the corner of 12th Street and Lynch in the historic Soulard district, the tour of the oldest Anheuser-Busch brewery is free of charge and is fully accessible to wheelchair users."

"There are several tour options you can take and there's even a complimentary one too!. The free tour lasts about 45 minutes and takes you through the famous 7-step brewing process."

"The legendary brewing rooms of the Anheuser-Busch Brewery represent perhaps the single most iconic beer location in St. Louis, nay Missouri, nay America!"

"Also a distillery, they make vodka, gin, whiskey, and rum and offer regular tours. There’s a full menu, which features a BBQ pulled pork sandwich, build-your-own burger option, and even a special kids’ menu. Once you try a Square One brew, it’ll instantly become one of your favorites, so when this inevitably happens, join their Beer of the Month Club."

"I feel like you are going to think I am dramatic when I saw this is one of the best restaurants I have ever been to in my life – and there is a REASON that it’s number one on this list. But I swear I’m not being crazy – it just really is that yummy."

"Stop by on Saturdays to take a tour of their 14,000-foot facility to learn about their history, what they brew, and how they do it. The offer over 15 artisan ales for customers to sample and buy, including the ever popular Bailey’s Chocolate Ale. Whether it’s sweet, tangy, or even spicy, Perennial offers an array of flavors that will tickle your fancy."

"On top of a draft menu of Belgian-style ales and tasty amber bière de miels, the bottle list is insanity. The brewery often offers cellared bottles for on-site consumption, including Abraxas, its venerable imperial stout made with cinnamon sticks, ancho chilies, vanilla beans, and cacao nibs.

"Bluewood opened their doors in 2019 within the old Lemp Brewery Stables, giving their space a particularly unique atmosphere. They make a wide variety of beers as well as their own Mead."

"2nd Shift Brewing is among the most underrated breweries in St. Louis. 2nd Shift moved its operations from New Haven to the Hill neighborhood of the city in 2016, where it occupies a large, open, warehouse-like space. The atmosphere of the brewery is laid-back and casual, while the staff are friendly and knowledgeable."

"2nd Shift also makes an impressive variety of beers—essentially any style of beer you are looking for you can find at their taproom. Lean into the crazier sounding brews and you won’t be disappointed."

"If sidling up in a cozy wooden booth with a plate of authentic pub grub and a beer is your idea of a Sunday morning cure-all, you’d be hard-pressed to find a better spot than The Scottish Arms in the Central West End. Brunch highlights include the apple and pork banger omelet, duck confit hash and the aptly named Highland Hangover – a platter featuring a massive Scotch egg, forfar bridies (Scottish meat pastries), smoked salmon and home fries. The food is tasty, filling and truly authentic – it’s likely even brought to your table by a server in a striped kilt."

"The Scottish Arms styles itself as “a proper Scottish pub,” and as you’d expect, it stocks an notable selection of single-malt scotch and whiskey. The Central West End bar also serves up traditional Scottish dishes, such as scotch eggs, haggis, bangers and mash, and fish and chips. Stop in for a pint and enjoy some hospitality straight from the Scottish Highlands."

"Rise Coffee is a people- and community-focused coffee shop that emphasizes diversity and inclusion. Their “Coffee for the People” program allows you to “pay it forward” by purchasing a drip coffee or breakfast for those who otherwise cannot afford to do so. There is a designated family area with toys and books for children and a library area for those working long hours."

"On the first floor you’ll find grownups on laptops, but head upstairs to the second floor for the perfect place for kids. This coffee shop was obviously designed with moms in mind featuring a baby gate on the door, shelves filled with toys and a small loft for children to play while you sip your drink and relax."
