Perennial Ales, Straight Off The Spice Rack

t’s fun to see a new brewery come online and grow. Perennial Artisan Ales is based in St. Louis, Missouri.  The their craft beer week, they opened their doors to give the public a sneak peak of whats to come.   Perennial opens for business in September.  They just got done their first batch on their new 8.5 barrel brewing system.

Here is a look the labels for launch beers:

Strawberry Rhubarb Tart – Ale brewed with strawberries, rhubarb stalks, & coriander.

We start with a Belgian-style wittier, and add 300lbs of strawberries, 100 lbs of rhubarb stalks, and a few handfuls of Indian coriander.  The result is a subtly sweet, refreshingly tart, surprisingly citrusy tribute to summer.  

750ml bottles, Draft.  5% ABV

Saison de Lis – Belgian Style Ale brewed with chamomile flowers

Perennial Ales To Open In 2011

A new craft brewery opens its doors in May of 2011 – Perennial Artisan Ales.  This new brewery will be based in St. Louis, Missouri.

Perennial Ales is the brainchild of Phil and Emily Wymore.   Phil has been the head brewer at Half Acre Brewing in Chicago, Illinois for the past few years, and the Cellar Manager for Goose Island Brewing, also in Chicago.

In September, Perennial aquired a 7 barrel brewing system from Good People Brewing in Birmingham, Alabama.  This system can brew close to 300 gallon batches at once.  Just a few weeks ago the site for the brewery was announced – 8125 S. Michigan Ave, St. Louis, Missouri.  The building was once used by Coca-Cola to produce syrup.

Launch dates, and beers have yet to be determined, but a few will be Belgian influenced.  Also, from what I understand there is no immediate plan to distribute outside of Missouri in the immediate future.
