Urban Chestnut Midtown Brewery and Biergarten

"We went here tonight for the Brass Burger, and it’s a cool place! Love their patio! Will definitely be back for more Brass burgers and hard seltzer. Hopefully trivia in the future? :)"

"I've been regularly visiting Urban Chestnut since my arrival in STL, and I have been met with nothing but a warm staff, scrumptious food options, and a solid range of beers (the ones that they rotate on tap)."

"Stopped over for a brat and beer prior to heading to an event. Well, they did not have brats but had burgers and a fish sandwich. We went for it. The burger was blah and overdone but managed to eat it. The fish sandwich was good. Fries were good. Beer was delivered in plastic cups and was ok. The indoor area is very small but people do sit around and play games and it is nice. Outdoors the patio looked nice and had lots of seating. If you go go for beer and maybe a snack and to hang with friends, but probably not for the food as a meal."

"Delightful food! Great beer options. Staff was very friendly and welcoming. Only downfall was that I didn't see much indoor seating. We were lucky to get a table, but shortly after all tables were full. Looks like they definitely have a large outdoor bier garden type space, that did be fun in the summer months. But a smaller space for winter, is what the situation seemed to be during our January visit."

"February 2020 Update I much prefer this location over the UBC beirhall, as it is the original UBC location. The copy for Schnickelfritz describes this as a Weissbeir using primarily white wheat in the grain bill. Beer needs barley, yet pale unroasted barley. I was not pleased with Schnickelfritz the first few times I tried it. Something changed. The style overlaps to the point of being hefeweizen. Nestle there to share space with Hoegaarden and on US soil Celis White. (Both are available for you to compare.) Such a Schnickelfritz must use maybe two or three yeast strains. So, while at the big loud echo-y UBC beirhall, the recipes do evolve, as with Urbane Underdog a bit. Wholly superior to Bluewood Brewing Hefeweizen. Wafly Shlafly can't touch this with their terrible cardboard beers. I'm pleased with the gradual evolution. Schnickelfritz is a stalwart and vanguard UBC offering. Yet I like the quiet original UBC location. Almost five stars over the other location. Yet also try the URB for tasty taste tests and slightly cheaper beers by a $ or so. The roasty pizza is a quasi-New York style yet well yeasty leavened crust and quality execution in the weirdly routed assembly line in a small space."
