According to the legends passed down from beer drinker to beer drinker, somebody somewhere supposedly once called St. Charles County a “craft beer desert.” Now I don’t know who that person was but if I was introduced to them at the bar, I’d send them shot of water.
“Craft beer desert?” What a crock! Nothing could be further from the truth which makes my next sentence a literal pleasure to type. St. Charles County is hosting its inaugural Craft Beer Week beginning April 23-30! Yay for us, boo for that “craft beer desert” guy.
A band of craft beer focused bars, breweries, restaurants and homebrew shops have joined forces with St. Charles County Craft Tap, another fantastic beer blog and magazine run by local craft beer lovers. Together they have assembled a week full of special release beers, tap takeovers, special Missouri beers, beer education and other events through the week.
“As craft beer enthusiasts who call St. Charles County home, we really want to share the hidden craft beer gems of the area with other enthusiasts who may not realize they don’t have to cross the river to access phenomenal beer,” said St. Charles County Craft Tap co-founder Chris Oth.
