I first met the trio that is Twisted Roots at a gathering of the St. Louis Brewers Guild back in February. There I reconnected with Kris Wanglin, whom I met previously when he was a brewer at 4204 Main Street Brewing Company. I learned quickly that it a mix of fate and good luck that brought Kris and two of his brewing mates, Corey Sanftleben and Adam Patterson together to become on our town’s our newest brewing super trios.
Combined, the three bring nearly 28 years of brewing experience together, all for the sole purpose of giving us a bar that brews its own beer. That’s right. Twisted Roots, at its core, is a great bar that brews its own beer. I reached out to Kris Wanglin, to get a view of what’s coming in 2019.
What Can We Expect in 2019
We are looking forward to a lot of new beer styles. Some will be Twisted and we will definitely have our Roots line running strong. There will also be some barrel projects to look forward to. To round it out, we are going to roll out a new menu and see about running some more specials, maybe a beer and food pairing night.
How many new releases do you forecast in 2019
There will probably be a couple releases every month, and not really sure at this point what all of them will be. We will have a great variety! We are looking to run a few hop harvest beers again this year.
Will you be brewing any new beers that you’ve never tried before?
Not many, they will probably take on different style nuances from what we have previously done. We are going to try and resurrect a few dead styles as well, which is always fun!
Any new events tied to your brewery in the coming months?
Meanwhile, if you have not checked out Twisted Roots’ ongoing monthly events, you’re missing out.
