ST. LOUIS BREWERS SECOND
ANNUAL HERITAGE FESTIVAL
If you missed last year’s inaugural St. Louis Brewers
Heritage Festival held in the city’s historic Forest
Park, then picture great beer and delicious food from
some of the area’s finest restaurants, and 15,000
adults underneath blue skies enjoying various beer styles
and toasting with friends. The festival proved to be one
of the most popular new events in 2007 for both beer aficionados
and those new to the beer scene, and should be on every
St. Louisan’s “must attend” list this
year. Building on the excitement of last year, the festival
has added several new elements to make this year’s
to-do bigger and better: An extra Friday afternoon session
and a third beer tent allow for more attendees to sample
an expanded offering of beer styles; a local homebrewer
develops a special beer recipe just for festival-goers
to enjoy; brewmasters will walk the festival grounds meeting
with beer drinkers. The festival’s introductory
year was successful with the support of seven local breweries,
including Alandale Brewery, Anheuser-Busch, Augusta Brewery,
Morgan Street Brewery, O’Fallon Brewery, Schlafly
Beer and Square One Brewery. This year, Griesedieck Bros.
Brewing Corporation will join the group with a Bavarian-style
wheat beer brewed at Augusta Brewery. The taps will flow
rain or shine and tickets are currently available online
at www.stlbrewfest.com, by calling 1-888-792-2424 and
in person at the Anheuser-Busch St. Louis Brewery Tour
Center, the Schlafly Tap Room and Schlafly Bottleworks.
Only adults, ages 21 or older, are allowed to purchase
tickets and attend the festival.

Festival, visit www.stlbrewfest.com or email contact@stlbrewfest.com.
