Brick River Cider St. Louis (Craft Beer & Brewery in St. Louis MO)

Brick River Cider Co. is the sort of place that makes you wonder why every other state pretends its cider is anything more than sweet soda. Based in St. Louis, Missouri, this tiny operation churns out eight core ciders – plus a rotating roster of seasonals – all gluten‑free and brewed from fresh fruit, never from concentrate. The result is a crisp, wine‑like mouthfeel that swings from bone‑dry to lusciously sweet, with the standout “Fathoms,” patiently aging in tequila barrels until it smells like a fiesta in a bottle.

The premises (they even let dogs on the patio) are as welcoming as a good pub, offering family‑friendly outdoor seats in both STL and Kansas City. Between sips you can tuck into farm‑to‑table bites and, if you’re feeling indulgent, a massive cookie that rivals the size of a small dog. Regular tastings give you the chance to watch the ciders transform from raw juice to polished product, while community events keep the atmosphere buzzing without a hint of pretentiousness. In short, Brick River delivers a no‑nonsense, high‑quality cider experience that would make even the most sceptical palate raise a glass.
