We stopped in to sample the beers at Perennial on a Saturday afternoon. They’ve been open about two months now and are the third of four new breweries that opened in St. Louis this year. Phil Wymore is the head brewer and co-founder; he came to St. Louis from Half Acre Beer Company and Goose Island Beer Company. He was working behind the bar pouring beer when we arrived. At Perennial they are focused on farmhouse ales. The sampler we tried consisted of a Belgian Blonde, Chamomile Saison, Belgian Wit (Strawberry Rhubarb Tart), Dry Hopped Belgian Pale, Fresh Hop Red Saison, an American Brown with Squash and Spices, and a Heart of Gold Wheat Wine. They also currently have a Pear Anise Soda. The seven five-ounce beers were $15.00. They also have a limited selection of wines, bourbon, and scotch for non-beer drinkers. There is seating for 20 at the bar with a dozen or so tables scattered throughout the tasting room. There is additional seating outside. There is no food service but they do sell potato chips and have a toaster oven (that we did not see get used.) There is plenty of parking in the lot beside the brewery with additional parking on the street.
