Few cities can tell the story of beer in America like St. Louis. Join Cameron Collins, co-author of the third edition of St. Louis Brews: The History of Brewing in the Gateway City, as he tells the story of more than 200 years of brewing history in our region. A fascinating journey that leads through lagering caves, malt houses, and beer gardens, legendary brewers with names such as Lemp, Anheuser, Busch and Griesedieck shaped the brewing industry not just here but throughout the entire country. And as our region embraces the new craft beer movement with dozens of new and unique breweries in operation, the story is just getting started.
