Overview

  • St. Louis is one of America's great beer and BBQ cities, and this private tour takes you straight to the heart of both.

    Your guide Wayne drives you to a hand-picked lineup of the city's best smokehouses and breweries, from nationally acclaimed spots like Side Project Brewing to the legendary Anheuser-Busch Biergarten. Each stop is chosen for what it does best, whether that's a perfect rack of ribs, a small-batch sour, or an American Lager in a beer hall with 170 years of history.

    Between stops, Wayne fills in the story of how German immigrants turned St. Louis into the beer capital of America, why the city's BBQ style is its own thing, and where the locals actually eat everyday.

    Food and drinks are purchased by your group at each stop, so you choose exactly what you want.

    Larger private group tours (up to 55 guests) are available. Please contact us for options, pricing, and availability
