Six Mile Bridge opened its doors Friday, Aug., 21, at 11841 Dorsett Road in Maryland Heights. As The Scoop reported in July, owners Ryan and Lindsay Sherring started brewing beer in Cape Town, South Africa before moving to St. Louis.
Though focused on distribution, Six Mile Bridge also has a 2,000-square-foot tasting room fronting its 4,000-square-foot brewing space. For now, the tasting room will offer popcorn for snacking, but the Sherrings hope to partner with local chefs on a food menu and open a kitchen soon.
The sleek industrial, high-ceilinged space boasts a glossy wood bar, a chalk art mural depicting the brewing process by local artist Sarah Doriani and ample seating to enjoy a pint. Six Mile Bridge is starting with three beers: an Irish red ale brewed with honey, a Bavarian hefeweizen with banana and light spice notes and a session IPA. Look for a stout this fall, as Six Mile Bridge slowly expands its offerings. Pull a pint at the bar, bring a growler home or look for its brews around town at local bars and restaurants.
Six Mile Bridge is open Fridays from 5 to 11 p.m. and Saturdays noon to 11 p.m. Here’s a first look at what to expect when you head to Maryland Heights:
