Sauce Magazine lauds Main & Mill Brewing as one of the Best-Kept Secrets in St. Louis Beer. And they don’t even brew within city limits!

Folks leave the city — where they could choose from big name breweries like Perennial, 4 Hands, or even Side Project — to instead imbibe in the delectable creations pouring out of  Main & Mill’s tiny pub space in the small town of Festus.

Because, they know getting their hands on a bottle from Main & Mill is next-to impossible. 

Anything the brewery packages is immediately spoken for by their Mug Club members. And, if there’s any left over, the hundreds of people on the membership waitlist will be first in line to snatch the rest!

Except for today! 400 Yard Walk is one of the first beers ever released by Main & Mill that’s actually leaving the pub!

And this Smoothie-style Sour Ale is one juicy secret indeed. The brewers load the tart treat with roughly 100 lbs of black raspberries and black currants per barrel! Then, they douse it with a hefty sprinkling of lime zest and some lactose, adding a layer of pithy tang and creamy complexity to every sip.

But you’ll never see this beer anywhere else but here. 400 Yard Walk is sold out at the pub, and Tavour is the only other place to get it!
