I'm still thinking about that burger and fries with red hot riplet seasoning! We've gone to Alpha Brewing before for some drinks. But this time, we heard that they had Mingo (Meat Bingo) on the last Thursday of the month, so we had to go! The place was packed, the drinks were plenty, and I did win a round of Mingo, so I definitely left happy! The Mingo caller was so silly and fun! They made everyone feel welcome and the vibes were awesome. Also shoutout to Human Coupon! Our waiter was awesome, even when the place was super packed! read more

Alpha Brewing has the perfect little stop for enjoying the nice weather! We went on a lovely ring day and enjoyed the flowers, bird song and of course Tassie the cat! The green spaces hereancreates the best spring time hidden garden vibe! We tasted several sours and were impressed with all of them. The waitress' recommendations for the food were incredible. You could tell she really knew the menu and tap list well! I would definitely remmoend the Cajun shoe string fries with one of their aiolis which were amazing and great value for the price. They had an events calendar and craft cocktails we will have to check out in the future! read more

The burgers, fries and drinks are so good. The team is very nice. Great vibe and huge patio. Recommend!

Laid back brewery vibe with a simple and delectable menu. We had excellent attending from the waitstaff. The plum sour was excellent - light and refreshing and didn't turn my stomach like other sours. But let's be honest and get down to brass tacks: the reason you'll go here is for the absolute FIRE pretzel bites and beer cheese. Do not pass go. Do not collect $200. Get thee an order and thou wilst be pleased. read more

Excellent beers! We shared a plate of "baby toasted raviolis." These weren't just a basic frozen-and-deep fried toasted rave... these were hand made and delicious. Phenomenal service too... glad we stopped here. read more

I can't believe I didn't know about this place. So glad I found it. The outside area is so cool. It would be fun to hang out there when the weather gets a little nicer. The drinks were good. My friends really liked the beers but I kept with the Flying Cherry Cocktail. My friends ordered a wrap and the tacos. I wasn't hungry but considering the food was scarfed down before I got a photo I'm guessing it was really good. These came with fries which were really good. We also ordered the pickled veggies. Yum!! We came here just because and we were super happy to see someone come in to play music. She was amazing. I had actually seen her and her co-musician before and was pleasantly surprised to see them. I really like this place. It is laid back and relaxing. I'll DEFINITELY be back!! read more

Staff was nice, the place was clean, unfortunately the new kitchen hours didn't allow us to get food (we missed it by 4-minutes) but we were able to try a few different beers and a watermelon cider (they ran out of guava). read more

Pretty empty for a Thursday evening, but we had a couple of beers which we both enjoyed. They always have some funky out of the ordinary selections which is cool. Food on the other hand was somewhat average. My smashburger was way overcooked and dry, toppings helped make up for it but still disappointing. Fries were hot and delicious. My wife said her chicken strips were average and had too much breading. Would go back for beers, but not sure about food. read more

Went for a beer and some pretzels, and we are really torn in the place. It has a great outdoor patio with lots of seating, but with no music or background noise, it has kind of an awkward vibe where everyone is talking in hushed tones. We had mixed opinions on our drinks, but think that was just due to poor choices based on beer preferences. Pretzels had an interesting seasoning but cheese was thin. Service was great. Would definitely be willing to try again though! read more

This is such a cute place! We came here because we had the pub pass and were excited to try something new. We ordered the loaded fries appetizer but just got the regular fries (I blame how my husband ordered them lol he wasn't very clear). But the regular fries were good and seasoned well! Next time I want to try the smash burger. I enjoyed the plum sour and wanted to try the cherry sour but I will try it next time! read more

Lovely people running this place! I visited for my brother in law's show, which they were hosting in their barrel room. We all grabbed food beforehand, and I had one of the few veggie options. I've had A LOT of veggie burgers and this one wasn't a standout, but it wasn't bad either. I enjoyed the honey mustard sauce and the veggies were fresh and crisp. I love that they offered some different options for their fries. I had the chili-cumin. The seasoning is sweet and salty. It reminds me of lawry's seasoning if it had a little spice. read more

I really do enjoy visiting ABC! The patio is perfect for an afternoon/evening happy hour and the beer/seltzer selections area frequently changing so you can really try new drinks every time you visit. The food menu has a lot to offer and if you go, I recommend the loaded cheese fries and the pretzels. If you visit the patio, be sure you look for their brewery cat, Tassie; she is the sweetest cat and enjoys getting attention and some pets. Order at the counter, grab a seat, and just enjoy your time! The staff is super friendly and will offer their suggestions and even some small samples if there are drinks you would like to try. This is a great spot to visit and their beer/seltzers are so good! read more

Sure, come for the beer and hard seltzers. I've never had a disappointing drink. They've updated their menu. The smashed burgers are amazing. The pretzels come with the best beer cheese I've ever had. They have a great patio with live music on weekends. The bartenders are knowledgeable about the drinks. This is one of my regular hangouts. read more

Alpha Brewing in the Tower Grove South Neighborhood of St. Louis, Mo. I love everything about this. 1. Repurposed items (find the gate posts ); 2. Package waste reduction practices & energy conservation; 3. Growth, once at Square One, the owner, Derrick, started this spot; 4. Use of local companies for ingredients. Owner Derrick Langeneckert's background in science and passion for beer led to this brewery specializing in sour and barrel-aged beers. The food menu pairs well with their beer and cocktails, especially the smash burger (the black bean burger was awesome). Alpha's commitment to sustainability extends to packaging waste reduction, energy conservation, and waste diversion, making it a do-gooder standout in the St. Louis craft beer scene. What a spot! Loved it! Thanks Yelp for the introduction! read more

I came to alpha brewing today for a Yelp elite event! Alpha brewing serves a variety of draft beers, beers on tap, cocktails, and N/A options. You order at the bar and they bring your food right to you. The bartenders and servers were speedy and very polite! I ordered 2 mellow gold winter lagers which was light and refreshing and perfect for a chill winter night. I also got the patty melt with shoe string fries. The bread on the patty melt was toasted well and the burger meat cooked perfectly. The shoestring fries were flavored well. I also split the sugar butter pretzel fries which were a nice dessert pretzel. They were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside and the sweet butter drizzle was perfect on top. They had live music playing but I was still able to chat with my friends. I noticed that they have an outdoor patio so I look forward to coming back when it warms up!! read more

Alpha is always a good time! The service is always on top of it. Our bartender was super helpful when we were deciding what drinks to order. I ordered the Chicken Caesar Wrap from the kitchen later in the night and they ran out of large wraps. The cook was creative and used smaller tortillas - I'd argue the smaller ones were better!! Definitely try their new vodka; it's flavorful but not too sweet. read more

Happy hour beers, burgers and fries hardly ever taste this good! Came here on a Thursday after working in the office to enjoy the laid back and cozy vibes. The bartender was friendly and offered prompt and attentive service. What we ate and drank: - Smash Burger: (4/5/5) GET THIS. This was as good of a smash burger as you will find in the St. Louis area. The choice to use tenderloin made for a leaner, but still flavorful burger. Double layers of cheese (white American?) added perfect texture. I would have liked more sauce, so I will ask for it next time. - Cajun fries: (3.75/5) Decent, thin cut freezer fry. Cajun seasoning made them special. - Cowboy's Last Ride (4/5): Crisp, light and easy to drink. - Apocrypha: (4.25/5) Darned tasty sour beer. I really like sours and this is a good one. Love the taster portions. - I do whiskey, on the rocks (4.25/5): I really like this whiskey. Nice oak flavor and the sweet finish makes for something reminiscent of Jack Daniels, but better. I haven't been to Alpha for about 10 years. I need to get back soon! read more

Very cool brewery with a great selection for beer drinkers and those that prefer something else (seltzer, vodka sodas, cocktails). We enjoyed sitting on their patio on a sunny afternoon. My guava seltzer was a bit flat but other than that we had no complaints. read more

Alpha Brewing had a warm environment. A great place to connect with others, + kid friendly. There was not a kids menu to select from today but they were accommodating on what they did have on the menu for a little one. Beer - recommended! The loaded fries can and should be shared. The Smash Burger is fantastic. read more

Love the live music and most of the selections of beer. Nice to sit outside on the patio as well.

A usual go to. It was a little more busy than usual due to the promotion of free beer with proof of voting for current elections. I met with a group and ordered a Pineapple Funk, which is their Pineapple flavored beer. I typically get wings and fries, so they're always a go to. It came out fresh. The BBQ wings I got were not messy, so that's a good thing. The loaded fries tasted good, however I had to eat parts of it quick bc the beer cheese would thicken overtime. We stayed there til closing (as usual) and enjoyed my time there read more

One of the best local breweries in the city, Alpha brewing boasts a large selection of Brews that will hot the spot matter what type of beer you're craving. The main types of beers they have are sours but they also have good selection of blonde and pale ales. For food they have Delicious smash burgers, chicken wings, tacos and sandwiches. You have the option to add Cajun seasoning to your fries and I promise you will want to do it. The seasoning adds amazing flavor to the fresh fries. The bartender we had was extremely friendly and offered great suggestions for us. The brewery is a quaint place with booths, a decent bar, and tables and comfortable chairs. They also have a selection of table games you can play while you enjoy a great beer. read more

My husband and I come to St Louis from Chicago every year and always make a stop at Alpha Brewing sometimes twice per visit. Their brewery cat, Tassie is a sweetheart and always greets us warmly. The atmosphere is great, beer list solid and the food is pretty good, too. As a vegetarian I can vouch for the black bean burger and all the pickled sides; my husband says the smash burger is incredible. Go to Alpha today and tell Tassie we said hello! read more

So I've been to this restaurant plenty of times but never got around to writing my review smh First thing, the food and the beers here is always pretty good! The new Elderberry Funk is a drink everyone needs try!! The brewery's melt and tiger burgers are truly amazing! You definitely can not resist their fries! Lol I can just eat those all day. They pretzel is super soft in the inside and perfect with that cheese. This restaurant is a restaurant I would recommend to everyone I know! Also they play live music sometimes so catch that while you are there!! read more

Love love love. If you're a fan of sours this is definitely the place for you. Decent amount of indoor space to hangout; live music playing outside when we went (saturday afternoon), very friendly bartenders, delicious beer and the fried pretzel. Love it. Great place to hang out for a while with friends, chill, have a good time chatting. read more

Had one of their Pretty Pleasy Seltzers (the tropical one) at Amsterdam Tavern and liked it so we decide to go for lunch. Sat on the patio which is a good size. They have a brewery cat. She's a good girl, we enjoyed playing with the cat. I ordered the black bean burger and my boyfriend got the original smash burger. We shared fries. I liked my burger, everything was fresh. My boyfriend thought the burger bun was too thick but did like it overall. Fries were good. Food came quick, we were there right after they opened on Sunday. We had the Pretty Peasy Raspberry Seltzer and Cowboy's Last Ride Belgian Style Blonde Ale. Both really good. We'll return to try more of the menu and beers. read more

Alpha Brewing is an all around solid spot to visit. They offer indoor and outdoor seating. Live music usually on the weekends. Their beer and food menu changes. They always have a "Special of the Month". But regularly offer smash burgers, sammies, shareables and sides. They do have a vegan option. I love getting their pork rinds! They are still crackling when they come out. You can spice it up with a flavor- my favorite is the chili-cumin cilantro. If you have any beer questions the staff is very helpful with selecting one to your flavor profile. If you aren't a beer person they have a hard seltzer on tap in addition to a small selection of wine and Zambu (a St Louis born liquor). Tip: the colored dot next to the name of the beer is the same color as the beer. @stl.foodie read more

Went for my brothers birthday a few weeks back and they refused to serve us at the bar because it had "just become table service" even with 3 workers at the bar and few patrons around. Of course the wait for service at the table was incredibly long and then our beers which took in total around 35 minutes to get came in warm glasses straight from the dishwasher, guess its cool they're probably clean but that's giving you guys too much credit. Never returning and warning everyone I know read more

Our bartender was super friendly and super knowledgeable about the drinks! We came in for burger week and the burgers were really well cooked. It's a very relaxing atmosphere, board games if you want to play them. And the patio had hundreds of friendly bumblebees! Super cool place and we'll definitely be back! read more

Ya no.... This is a weird one for me because the beer is actually pretty decent but after going to this place on 3 separate occasions, I've come to the conclusion that they either have a broken refrigeration system or its about to kick the bucket because the beer is barely cold... which defeats the whole purpose. So there's that. read more

I've really wanted to like this brewery. I've gone a dozen or so times, each time having a not quite right experience, but I keep going back because I want to like it and I want to support a variety of local businesses. After this last visit, this place just isn't it. Atmosphere: this is why I keep trying. I like the location, the feel of the room inside and the patio, they often have live music, Tassie the cat is a sweetheart. It has all the makings to be a great space. Food: it's just not very good. The burger is ok. Apps are greasy. Sauces compete with the food itself and all of that would be fine at a dive bar or at dive bar prices, but it's pricey and in a nicer place. The food really should be better. Beer: I love beer. I look forward to it every weekend. I also like a variety of beers. Wheats, ales, lagers, stouts, sours... not a big ipa fan- but I'll drink them if the flavor is there. I don't know how to explain the strange after taste that comes from Alpha beers. Overly bitter and mouth drying and lingering. I've tried nearly everything on the menu and they're all pretty "meh" Service: this was what made me decide to call it quits on Alpha and leave the review. The kitchen staff/ food runners are always kind and polite. The bartenders seem bothered to have to take an order or answer any questions. Tonight after having a swingler, I thought the flavor was a little off so I tried a mellow gold. A "easy drinking lager" with a 6% Abv. When I took a drink- it tasted like hand sanitizer. I had my husband try it and he said there was no way that was a 6% and it tasted like an off double hopped ipa. When I brought it to the bartender, I asked if she could verify what I ordered and when she said the mellow gold I told her it didn't taste quite right and that it tasted like a very high alcohol content. She said "it's not" and then walked away to talk to another customer. Now. I've been a bartender. I've been a server. I've been a manager of a beer house- that beer was off. Either by recipe or by mistake. It was handled very poorly. read more

Alpha is the BEST brewer in STL! Great assortment of Beer, (and wine). Food is also great...especially the Burgers and fries. Try them!

It's all about the happy hour here. Tasty, delicious food (especially the smash burger and shoestring fries). There is always something different on the drink menu, too. They offer seltzers for those who do not drink beer and NA beer for those who do not drink. Welcoming atmosphere and the cutest torty cat out on the patio. Dog-friendly, too. Wish they would bring back live music. read more
