About
Our philosophy is to brew beer with the adventurous craft beer drinker in mind—focusing on hand-crafted, small batches of beer, using local, seasonal and organic ingredients as much as possible.

Our beers are influenced mostly by Belgian and American craft styles, but the addition of premium ingredients such as fruits, spices or wild yeast strains sometimes causes the beers to defy traditional categories. Our barrel aging program features a wide variety of beers aged in wine and spirits barrels, ranging from a Rye barrel-aged Mexican Chocolate Stout to a wild yeast-fermented Saison aged on Missouri wine grapes in French oak wine barrels. We strive to always achieve balance with each of our recipes, making our beers exceptional with food.

Homefront IPA from Perennial Artisan Ales

7.2/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 8 Flavor 8 Texture 6 Overall 7
750 from Friar Tucks in O’Fallon. Pours a cloudy orange with a big frothy head (too big in my view since filling a glass is 2/3 foam and 1/3 beer.). Aromas are herbal and almost medicinal with a pine edge to them and a little bit of orange peel. The herbal/medicinal edge seems to dissipate a bit as it warms, however, and the flavor is a pleasant enough mix of oranges and other citrus with pine and a little papaya or something vaguely tropical. There is a little bit of a grainy edge that is almost creamy and not quite right... It’s not bad, but could be a little ’fresher’ and more crisp.

Capped 750 from Wine& Cheese in Clayton, MO. Pours hazy light amber with a creamy off-white head. Mild citrus over caramel for aroma. Med +body. It’s quite citrus. Almost zest. Maybe more than almost. The caramel is in the background. It’s quite bitter, and there’s an oaky astringency. Finishes quite bitter. Nice IPA from the folks in the East.

Bottle. Must, chamomile, and malt aroma. Cloudy golden yellow color with moderate head. Lightly sweet chamomile and malt flavor. Decent body. Extremely subtle flavors but I love this beer - a great thirst quencher that I could drink all day.
