Someone comes around frequently to clear glasses and plates. Our table got a sampling of all the Munchies, Nachos, chicken wings, brussels sprouts, chicken tenders, fries, pretzel bites, and fried cauliflower. My favorites are the French fries - they are crispy with just the right amount of seasoning. The pretzel bites are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, I like them plain but they come with mustard and cheese sauce. Great beers on draft and in cans to take home. Good food

Bar to the left and tables to the right, a couple of booths tucked in the back. The tables along the right wall were a little tight but its a friendlu space to share. They had trivia night going on later but we opted out as we didn't plan to be there that long. Trivia guy was friendly, walking around talking to everyone. Waitress was friendly, explained the drinks as I planned on ordering a flight. Discovered pizza was Dogtown pizza so ordered Pepperoni with pepperoncini and some chicken wings. I ordered a flight of 6. Meads: 3: Sunshine 4: Vanil Co Lime 8: Cyser Beer on Tap: 15: Cherry Limeade Cocktails: 2: Pink Drink 10: Pants Required. I wasn't a fan of the cocktails; they were way too sweet for me. I really like the Cyser Mead, it was smooth and like apple cider and I really enjoyed the Cherry Limeade beer. Cute space, out of the way, serving local frozen pizza.

Located in a strip mall, in Lake Saint Louis, you almost wouldn't even know it was there. It doesn't look like much from the outside, but once you enter, it's the a cozy, moody, speakeasy type vibe. Nathan, the owner is amazing. He knows everything about all types of alcohol, including the mead and beer they make in house. Kim and Brett are also fantastic bartenders/employees...just so kind.

I finally had to go up to the bartender and ask about them which they were never ordered in the first place. So it took almost 50 minutes for me to have wings. The pretzel sticks were awesome, and the wings were good very very seasoned and didn't make a mess every time to take a bite. The beers were great. I had multiple different rounds. I really enjoyed having the love gun. It's just like a cream ale. They had a lot of merchandise which I ended up buying and taking home with me. I really enjoyed this place and this would be five stars all day if I didn't have to wait close to an hour for wings because they forgot to be put in. In the place, wasn't that busy? I could totally understand a mistake like that if they're really busy, but not when they're not that full. I would definitely try again.

The beers were just as good as the first time. Fresh, and crisp. Something for everyone. And the food was amazing. We got the buffalo chicken sandwich and the flavor was so unique and incredible. The fries and fried onions were also a hit. We shared the two items and even that was way too much food. Definitely recommend. Such a cool, chill spot with an awesome patio. Great place to spend some time in the warmer months.

Delving into the St. Louis area for craft beer is never too high on my priority list but the few…read moretimes that I have tried breweries from this particular area I have always liked their beer... quite considerably I might add. Case in point with Blue Jay Brewing, the latest that I have had the feelings towards I described above. Steve and I were both very impressed with the beer we had from here. What we had was a pilsner, the High Five. In this particular flavor profile we detected some floral, herbal, some peppery notes and just a hint of citrus. Other features with this beer are biscuity, hoppy and a hint of bitterness to a broader scheme with this beer which is initially well balanced, mellow and smooth. I rated this beer highly on Untappd and definitely recommend it. I would love to try some of their other beers to see how I'd feel and rate them but so what an excellent start!

St. Louis is lousy with these microbreweries--this part of town in particular, to the point where,…read moreas I ran the streets of the surrounding area, I was violently assaulted with what must be the smell of beer as it's being brewed. It's not altogether different from the smell of beer as it's coming back up, and it called to mind my illustrious, mostly-forgotten-at-this-point college years. I was suddenly compelled to listen to Cannibal Ox and watch certain videos that I'd pilfered from Kazaa, and it's probably for the best that I didn't have access to a circa 1998 Compaq Presario in that moment. The vibe in Bluewood Brewing is a lot classier. There's no "Iron Galaxy" over the PA. The lights are dimmed, which I imagine would be convenient if there was someone there you owed money to. I was particularly impressed with a long table on the patio. I remarked to a member of my running group that it almost certainly didn't come from IKEA. The wood was of too high a quality. The food menu is limited to a small selection of standard sports-bar fare, but this is not anywhere you'd go to watch the game. They might not have any TVs. Did they spend too much on the table? Also, they don't sell any beer in cans, that I'm aware of, which I generally prefer as someone who, as the evening progresses, is prone to dropping things. I went with something called Crush, which is an orange-flavored high-gravity IPA. It was the highest ABV selection on their regular beer menu, but it also costs a little bit more, so you're not really getting over on them--unless you thought to "pregame." I found it to be both less "stiff" than I was expecting and less orange-tasting, in a good way but also in a bad way, in that anything that fails to conform to expectation is at least somewhat disappointing. I was expecting paint thinner and orange juice. I got something that was balanced and flavorful. From the food menu, I got the daily special, which was a sort of elevated patty melt called the Stable Melt. It came with two all-beef patties, Swiss, caramelized onions and "Frisco" sauce on Union Loafers marbled rye, with your choice of chips or fries. It was $18, and as I was standing there a guy came out and changed the price to $19, presumably due to developments in the war with Iran. I was assured that I'd be "grandfathered in" at $18, but I'm not sure if he told the guy at the register and I didn't bother to check. It wasn't necessarily my kind of thing, but it was a great burger. The name-brand bread alone nearly justified the price increase. The meat was generously proportioned (no Diddy), but it didn't quite extend to the edges of the bread. Perhaps if it were one larger patty? The onions gave it a sophisticated Salisbury steak vibe, wholly superior to Hungry Man. The fries called to mind the fries at Wendy's. If only they offered a Frosty to dip them in. It wouldn't necessarily go with their beer. I'd suggest they put bourbon or something in it, but I shudder to think what they might charge.
