St Louis

[Swamp Fox]

I used to fly into STL to visit a friend on the way to Texas hog hunts.
Cold AF sometimes this time of year. Lots to do and see.

Two warnings:

You can't (couldn't) get a decent bourbon and ginger because they have their own crazy idea of what ginger ale is...

and some restaurants won't serve meat on Fridays during Lent ---which is not your problem timing-wise this year.

So if you'd like a drink with your steak or ribs, do your homework!

Grew up an hour outside of STL but moved across the country 20 years ago. Depending on what you and your family are into, the zoo, science center and art museum are all in close proximity to one another and are free. All are also of high quality. Not the equivalent of the MET, but nothing to sneeze at. Your kids will love city museum.

I like my bourbon straight, but I also enjoy ginger ale...

So what should I be looking for?

I just about threw up thinking of drinking bourbon and ginger ale. Oh my god.

I'll remember that for the next time I'm there!

The AB brewery and stables was cool.

Of course see the arch.

The best craft beer in the STL area is at Friendship Brewing in Wentzville. They also have a place out in Flint Hills.

It is a bit outside the city, but it is worth it.
