4 Hands Brewing Company
(1220 South Eightth Street; 314-436-1559)
Where to begin? The quality of 4 Hands barrel-aged brews is impeccable, and each brings something unique to the 4 Hands repertoire. Kevin Lemp opened the brewery in 2011 after years of experience with E&J Gallo winery. The same attention to detail that goes into wine making is evident in 4 Hands' flavor combinations and innovative methods. "No Place Like Home" features a double red aged in Cabernet wine barrels for 6 months, while "Contact High" is made by adding pacific northwest hops and dry hopping with orange zest to create a light, summery beer that, according to the website, pairs well with...lawn mower. Oh, who are we kidding? These beers pair well with almost everything, especially our mouths.

Did I miss it? Who is your current "top pick"? Also, when talking 4 Hands (my favorite), people should know about Will Johnston. From the 4 Hands website:

"Will began brewing beer in Colorado during undergrad to earn free beer and a few meals a day. After a few years he decided this was a passion and wanted to make a career out of this craft. Will moved to Chicago and attended both the worldly renowned Seibel Institute as well as the World Brewing Academy in Munich, Germany. Will has 13 years of brewing experience. Prior to joining the 4 hands team Will spent 5 years honing his craft at Goose Island Brewing Company located in Chicago Illinois. There he helped build Goose Island's high end vintage beers including Matilda and Sofie."
