The Wine and Cheese Place Barrel Aged Beer Collaboration with 4 Hands Brewing


The Wine and Cheese Place Barrel Aged Beer Collaboration #3


Kevin Lemp of 4 Hands Brewing Co. has agreed to do the 3rd Collaboration with The Wine and Cheese Place



1220 S. 8Th Street, Saint Louis, MO 63104 

The St. Louis beer scene continues to get more exciting with each new month.  Kevin Lemp plans to have his tasting room opened early November with beer hitting the rest of St. Louis in mid-November.  Will Johnston is the head brewer who was brewing at Goose Island for over 5 years before coming to St. Louis.

"Our core line up will include a Centennial Red Ale (Bordering a red IPA), Rye IPA, Oatmeal Brown Ale, and a Blonde ale with Elder Flower." -- Kevin Lemp, 4 Hands Brewing Co.



4 Hands Brewing Company Collaboration with The Wine and Cheese Place
Kevin Lemp of 4 Hands Brewing Co. has decided to age their Bona Fide Imperial Stout in the Elijah Craig 12 Year Old Bourbon.






Here is his take on the Bona Fide Imperial Stout.
"Russian Imperial Stout brewed with Goshen Espresso and Whole Vanilla Bean. We feel the Espresso and Vanilla will play very nicely with the Bourbon and oak" - Kevin Lemp


We are expecting to receive the Elijah Craig barrel at the end of October or early November.  It will then be delivered to Four Hands for filling.   Again patience is a must as we will not see this beer until Spring of 2012 at the earliest.
