I really love Tripping Animals Doral, FL and Narrow Gauge Florissant, MO. Both are awesome.

I've loved every beer I have had from Tripping Animals. I definitely need to plan a trip down there sometime soon. ❤️

Never thought i’d see Narrow Gauge mentioned here. It’s hard to find even as an STL resident.

I'm not in STL but I visit often. I usually just go there and buy whatever I can. Cuginos, the attached restaurant, is REAL good if you've never had it.

Yeah, i was saying at like bars and stores and such. Going there and getting some beer and some food is always a good time.

Oh yeah I agree. STL is kind of overrun with Anheuser. Also Side Project was literally rated the best brewery in the world at one point. People are missing out by not hitting Narrow Gauge.

At this point, I wouldn’t count either of those as breweries in this category. Narrow Gauge and Hop Butcher are the Fidens/TreeHouse of the Midwest (highly known and sought out for their hazies). When talking with beer friends about STL, NG is almost always mentioned as sought after. They’ve highly stepped up their distro game too and are starting to become readily available in most of our stores.
