Operating out of an old 1940s service station, now in its fifth year of operation, Millpond Brewing excels in producing an exceptional range of different lager styles, hazy IPA, and has found early success with their only 2-year-old barrel-aged program. Only 24 minutes from downtown, and with food trucks on the weekends February through November – plus a Maifest every year the weekend before Memorial Day weekend – it is no surprise more and more people from St. Louis are making more frequent trips to their favorite gathering place, especially once they discover crossing the bridge doesn’t add 30 minutes.
