The old Lemp Brewery is home, once again, to beer making now that the Stable is opening at 1821 Cherokee Street in the Benton Park neighborhood. Never mind that it’s located next to another establishment kind of known for its own brew — Anheuser- Busch.

The Stable, a brew house/pizzeria, will feature two private label lagers from upstart Amalgamated Brewing that will be made on the premises, as well as hard-to-find beers on tap.

Friends Aaron Whalen, Jesse Jones, Paul Pointer, and Mark Naski are behind the Stable. “The guys at AB are geniuses at what they do. But this takes brewing in St. Louis to the next level,” says Whalen.

Lunch and dinner will be served, and live music takes place on the weekend.

It was a total success. The drinks were perfect, the kitchen was bustling, and the pizza... a true delicacy.

The crew was ready. The taps were flowing, and orders were filled quickly, despite the many in attendance. Simply put, this is a great destination when in Soulard.
