Microbrew tastings on vacation
As some of you may know, Scot and the fam just went back to our old stomping grounds in the St. Louis, MO area. Saw family and friends and had a great time! We went back to Mizzou for a day, but we didn’t make it back to Flatbranch, unfortunately. We used to go there when it first opened and we were in college. It’s nice to see they are still around. I assume their beers have only gotten better, but they were very good when we were in Columbia. Check it out if you get out there.
We did, however make it to Trailhead Brewing Co. while we were in town. Unfortunately, we didn’t get to meet Jen (brewmaster) but we did get to sample all six of their selections. They were all very good and it was interesting to compare some of the Merry’d Men’s brews with those at a full service micro-brewery. We had five people in our group (including me), and three of us had tried some of the Merry’d Men selections. According to them, we stacked up pretty well. So if you get to St. Charles, MO, you really need to check out the Trailhead Brewing Company. It’s in an historic mill building on S. Riverside Dr., right down the street from Missouri’s first capital building. Well worth the trip. And try to get a tour when you’re there. They had what looked to be a slick operation!
So, check these guys out! I look at it as research as I travel. You should look at it as a way to find good, quality brews on your travels, in your world, and even in your own backyard!
