Friendship

Today marks the day that my friend Derrick Longeneckert opens his new brewery, Alpha Brewing Co. His ales are not for those with a taste for water; the malt and hops shine. He takes his ales in a direction that is both bold and refreshing. Located at 1409 Washington Ave. in Saint Louis, Missouri, you must go around the building to find the entrance. It is worth the walk! Inside you will find brews with fragrance. The aromas, of florals and citrus, forest and land, will take you on journies of the mind before you even take a sip. Sip and the flavors awaken your tongue. Sip a few too many and call for a ride home! Alpha brews are a bit stronger than you may be used to, if you are only drinking the average American can of beer, so carefully sample all the varieties ....... just not all in one sitting!
