New Brew News – June 20, 2016

Brewery: Perennial Artisan Ales, Civil Life Brewing, 4 Hands Brewing Company and Urban Chestnut Brewing Company
Location: St. Louis, MO
Name of Beer: Class of 2011
Beer Style: Kölsch
ABV: 4.5%
Our Thoughts: 2011 was a great year for beer in STL. 4 Hands, Urban Chestnut, The Civil Life and Perennial Artisan Ales all opened their doors.  This beer is part of a collaboration series by these 4 breweries and we're definitely excited. We feel Kölsch may be the most underrated beer style for summer and this collaboration is sure to be a good one.
 
Brewery: Arcadian Moon Winery and Brewery
Location: Higginsville, MO
Name of Beer: Exposition Hard Soda
Beer Style: Hard Ginger Ale
ABV: 4.5%
Our Thoughts: This brewery is new to us. Partially because they don't distribute to STL and partially because Higginsville sounds like a made up place. Apparently it's 40 minutes east of KC.  Hard sodas are all the rage right now and on a hot day, we'd be more than happy to give this one a try.
 
Brewery: Perennial Artisan Ales
Location: St. Louis, MO
Name of Beer: Flat Rock Saison
Beer Style: Belgian Style Ale fermented in Oak
ABV: 5.0%
Our Thoughts: Perennial has proven that they can dabble in nearly any style with fantastic results.  We're betting that this Saison is going to be no different.  People are so obsessed with bourbon barrels, they forget what a simple oak barrel can do. We'll definitely be down for a pour or six of it soon enough.
