Perennial Artisan Ales is a favorite among the St. Louis crowd looking for unique local brews. Many of the beers are infused with the sweet flavors of peaches and pears or the soothing taste of chamomile, making them unlike any other. The tasting room and brewery are in a bit of a hidden location, tucked away on the bottom floor of a refurbished factory, which now houses loft apartments. Look out for this brewery and the hunt will be worth the delicious beers.
