I tried all of their beers. Liked the light beer they had and bought a growler of it to take home. The growler idea is fun. We normally go to growlers down the street, but I wanted some good food. We found it there. Tried Schlafly in Maplewood the beer is good no smoking is their down fall. I don't know about everyone else in St. Louis, but I expect A&B to play a smaller roll here now that it has been bought out. I tried this place for the first time last week.

There is a new beer coming out in August it is a Belgian Wit. From what R tells me it will have a wonderful Citrus Flavor. Come in and check it out. Ask for me and I would love to serve you.

Pretty good beer (liked the IPA the best) and really good food for a chain. Also talked to the manager, and he said they have plans for three more locations locally. Stopped by on Saturday.

It's just a manager trained on the equipment. In fact, when I was talking to one of the managers after the meal, he mentioned that at one of their other locations they had what sounded like a lactobacillus infection because they weren't sanitizing well enough. Glad to see you stop by. Make sure to join the forums. Enjoy the site. No they don’t. It’s just a manager trained on the equipment.

The "fermentus interruptus" part troubles me. Do they have an actual brewmaster on site? If not I forsee infected beer once the flunkies get lazy with the sanitation.

Or, to use the same logic, Denver and Colorado should be a Coors town, not the home of multiple microbreweries, the Great American Beerfest and a major A-B plant (in Ft. Collins, along with O'Dell's and New Belguim). Give people a choice, and you might be surprised. Right now, I'm rooting for Ray Hill!
