AKA O-Katz

This “export” style lager, brewed for our annual Oktoberfest celebration, is malty yet well balanced like the bier traditionally served at Oktoberfest in Munich. However, our Festbier has a tale/tail of its own–Oachkatzlschwoaf (pronounced “oh-khut-zel-schvoaf”) translated is “tail of a squirrel”…just a little Bavarian humor. Read Less

We affectionately refer to the first beer in our Revolution series of modern, American craft beer, as our unusual little bird. It’s a little on the flighty side @ 5.4% ABV, and it’s a little on the wacky side because we brew it with finely milled chestnuts (genus castanea …for you nut freaks), Willamette hops, and we ferment it with a Bavarian Weissbier yeast strain. All of these nuances contribute to its ‘nutty’ personality. Read Less

Stammtisch is an informal group meeting held on a regular basis – more directly translating to ‘table for regulars’. Our Stammtisch was brewed to celebrate this idea of community and socializing. It’s a traditional German pilsner featuring a blend of Hallertau and Strisselspalt hops, and we think it’s the perfect accompaniment to any friendly gathering. Help us make it a ‘regular’ around here! Read Less

The Dunkel style is what many refer to as the original beer of Munich and the surrounding countryside and villages (Dorf in German) of Bavaria. This everyday beer ranges in color from amber to dark brown, depending on the amount of Munich and roasted malts used. Ours is a deep reddish brown with a rich malty flavor. The sweetness of the malt is balanced by the use of another Bavarian friend…the Hallertau hop…in this specific case Hersbrucker grown near Wolnzach, Hallertau. Read Less

For the first time ever (again), Urban Chestnut is brewing a pumpkin beer and while it is officially a Revolution Series beer, it does have a little German flare - Nosferatu (Bird of Death), aka Count Orlok was THE German Count Dracula. He was a blood-sucking vampire… but being German he must’ve enjoyed beer too, right? We believe it is so and thus have created a Black Pumpkin Wheat Ale in his honor… a bier noir if you will.

Radlers can be confusing. In German, Radler means: Cyclist AND it also means: Bier-mixed-with-Soda. So of course when UCBC went about canning our first Radler, we got things a little mixed-up with our friends at Big Shark Bicycle Co., and found ourselves "cranking out" a Radler/Radler mash-up, i.e... Big Shark Lemon Radler. Which naturally turned out to be a refreshing Lemon-flavored Bier - the ideal libation for that post - (or non-) cycling occasion. Prost! Read Less

It's bee 100 years since Stan the Man was born, and The Musial Family, along with Urban Chestnut, is honoring and celebrating Stan with a special, commemorative beer - #6 Classic American Lager. Stan very much enjoyed a little beer from time to time so UCBC brewed this Lager beer with a recipe that pre-dated Prohibition and is classically St. Louis. Read Less

For the past 30 years, Forest Park Forever has been dedicated to keep St. Louis’ beloved Forest Park as one of America’s greatest urban parks. As a “Prost!” to the organization’s anniversary festivities, Urban Chestnut chose to brew this Pre-Prohibition Style American Pilsner, a style that was popular in the US at the time of the Forest Park’s opening in 1876. And like Forest Park itself, this beer has a fine, noble character and it is accessible to all. Read Less

Gerardus Mercator was a cartographer, philosopher and mathematician, best known for his work in cartography, in particular the world map of 1569 – let’s just say he got around…so did this Flemish Red. From the brewhaus, to the fermenter, to some barrels we had sitting around – this bier was quite an adventure. Read Less

This beer is sweet, soothing and a deceptive
delight. So much so it may deceive thy sight. Should
you start to see visions of Elf King fame, heed the
warning whence this beer gets its name. Spelled out
clearly in the Goethe poem: hold on tight to a loved one, and head for home. Read Less
