Square One Brewery

Square One Brewery and Distillery was founded in 2006 in the historic Lafayette Square District of St. Louis and features an upscale pub menu, 12 draft beers, and one cask ale. Square One doesn’t distribute any of its beers, offering them at the bar, in the restaurant, or as a to-go item in a growler. The owner, Steve Neukomm has been in the food and beverage industry in St. Louis since the 1970s and has owned the building, which houses Square One, since 1985. In 1999 Steve opened Augusta Brewing Company and for a few years ran both locations, selling Augusta in 2010. Dr. John Witte, Square One’s brewer has over 19 years of brewing experience in St. Louis, having brewed and/or helped start-up four breweries in the metro area. In 2008 Square One added a 50-gallon pot still and began distilling products, which now feature over 14 different styles ranging from our award-winning JJ Neukomm American Malt Whiskey to America’s second tequila product produced outside of Mexico, our Agave Blue. Current production at Square One Brewery and Distillery tops 750 barrels per year.
