I don’t know if you’ll believe it, but today is the 1st anniversary for Urban Chestnut Brewing Company (it’s also head brewer Florian Kuplent’s birthday!) If there is a reason I can’t believe it, it’s because it’s felt like they’ve been here much longer than one year.

It’s insane to see the amount of progress UCBC has had in just a year. It’s very exciting to see and it’s cool to know that we not only have breweries opening in St. Louis, but breweries that are thriving.  To celebrate this momentous occasion, UCBC is throwing a birthday bash.

On Saturday, February 4th, UCBC will be holding a beer festival they’re calling Wolpertinger 2012. If you don’t know what a wolpertinger is, here’s UCBC’s description:

For those of you unfamiliar with the wolpertinger; it is a small (or large depending on your perspective), primarily nocturnal mammal that inhabits the alpine forests of Bavaria. It is quite rare, but we’ve managed to work with of our hop growers in Hallertau and they’ve helped us to ‘import’ one of the little fellas for the special occasion. Being nocturnal, “Wolpie” will be making his grand appearance at the back end of the festival, which will coincide with our very limited release of his UCBC namesake “Wolpertinger 2012”, which we intimately refer to as Winged Nut on Acid, a 9.0% ABV, chestnut ale aged on Buffalo Trace Bourbon Barrels.

While this party is definitely a celebration of their first anniversary, UCBC wants to use the occasion to celebrate the St. Louis beer scene as a whole. So, they’ve invited out over 15 different local brewers to get in on the fun. Here’s a list of who’s attending:

• Schlafly
• Six Row
• Perennial
• Civil Life
• Ferguson
• Charleville
• Buffalo
• 4 Hands
• Square One
• Kirkwood Station
• Exit 6
• 2nd Shift
• O’Fallon
• Augusta
• Cathedral Square
• Morgan Street

This event will be running from 1PM to 6PM on Saturday, February 4th and tickets will cost you $30. You can purchase tickets by following this link here. Stay tuned next week as I’ll be giving away some tickets for this event.

Happy birthday to UCBC, looking forward to many years to come.

When I began taking photos of Schlafly‘s Cabin Fever festival this past Saturday, I quickly had a photo essay in mind: People that grab their beer and walk away and the people that don’t. You see, Schlafly made an amazing advancement in this year’s Cabin Fever by making use of a good portion of the Bottleworks parking lot to host this festival.

But that seemingly didn’t matter to a lot of folks. Though there was more room than ever to set up a group of people to talk while staying out of the way of people who wanted to get some beer, people continued to set up shop five feet away from the taps.

Needless to say, this was annoying. Luckily, it got better throughout the day as the firepits were set far away from the taps and people started getting cold and moving toward the warm fires.

So, three cheers to Schlafly for attempting to make a beer festival better. And thumbs down to the people who still don’t seem to care.

Anyway, here are some photos if you weren’t able to attend. If you’re wondering why I took pictures of empty parking lot, it’s to emphasize just how much additional space there was.

While it’s fun to be on the hunt to try and find that special or fun beer, it can be pretty tiring. Well, you can stop running all around town and visit Llywelyn’s Pub in Webster Groves to see something cool on tap. Llywelyn’s is starting a new program that they’re calling “A Brew You Never Knew.”

Each Wednesday, Llywelyn’s will feature a single beer on draught that may have been overlooked or in some cases is the only draught version of that beer in town. It’ll be a chance to re-visit an old favorite or even discover something you’ve never had before.

This week Llyweyln’s will be featuring the Southern Tier Choklat on draught. This beer will only be available at the Webster Groves location and will only be on tonight. If you’re looking for something special without all of the lists and missed opportunities, make sure to stop into Llywelyn’s tonight.

It seems like just yesterday when the business card above was left at the International Tap House in Soulard. So it seems almost fitting that the launch party for Deschutes Brewery came full circle and hosted their St. Louis launch party at that same iTAP.

It wasn’t a big spectacle. There weren’t people yelling into megaphones or stage-diving off the bar, it was just a bunch of great people enjoying some great beer. If you weren’t able to attend, here are a few photos from the evening.

After Schlafly’s Cabin Fever and the Centennial Beer Festival have passed, there really aren’t a lot of beer events that happen during the coldest months of winter in St. Louis. But let’s face it, this is the best time of year for drinking.

So, Steve Crider and crew from 2nd Shift Brewing have come to the rescue by holding their 1st 43rd Annual WinterCask Festival at their New Haven location. This cask festival will be featuring casks from eight different breweries from around the St. Louis area. Here’s a list of who will be serving beer:

• 2nd Shift Brewing
• 4 Hands Brewing
• Charleville Brewing
• Civil Life Brewing Co
• Exit 6 Brewing
• Perennial Artisan Ales
• Schlafly Tap Room
• Urban Chestnut Brewing Co

This event will be taking place beginning at 5PM on Saturday, February 18th. The most unique part about this festival is that it will be an overnight extravaganza. Tickets for this event will cost you $150 for one person or $210 for two people. That may seem like a lot of money for a beer festival, but not when you consider you’ll be getting:

• Cask beer
• Dinner
• Snacks
• Hanging out with local brewers
• A room to stay overnight
• And breakfast the next morning

Those of you that stayed overnight at the 2nd Shift and Friends 201st Beer Festival can attest that the overnight experience is well worth the price of admission. If you’re interested in attending, you can purchase tickets for the event at any of the locations listed above.  Only 60 tickets will be made available for this event and the last I heard, they’re going quickly.

Don’t miss out on what has to be one of the most unique beer festivals in one of the most unique locations in all of Missouri.
