Brewery Profile

Modern Brewery & The Kings Oak

Within St. Louis city limits, this brewery and taproom is part of a local beer scene that includes long-running regional brewing traditions as well as newer small-production taprooms. A visitor should expect a working brewery setting rather than a detached tasting counter: Modern Brewery operates its production facility on site, using a multi-vessel stainless steel system that supports both draft service and canning. The taproom is the main point of contact for people who want to sample current releases, while the affiliated restaurant, The Kings Oak, adds a full-service food option connected to the same overall visit. The setup gives travelers a way to see how a contemporary city brewery presents its beer across draft, packaged goods, and on-premise hospitality.

Beer travelers in the St. Louis region often look for a mix of familiar styles, local interpretations, and newer hop-driven releases. Modern Brewery fits that pattern through a portfolio described as diverse, with modern takes on classic beer styles as well as experimental hop-forward beers. Because the draft list rotates, a visit is less about checking off a single flagship and more about seeing what is pouring at the time. For visitors comparing stops across the city, the brewery offers a practical cross-section of what many modern Midwestern taprooms emphasize: variety, freshness, packaged beer availability, and a taproom experience tied directly to production.

For planning purposes, the taproom is the place to confirm the day’s pours, current package availability, and any changes to service. The separate affiliated restaurant, The Kings Oak, is the relevant amenity for travelers who want a meal with the beer rather than snacks or outside food arrangements. Distribution reaches the greater St. Louis metropolitan area and parts of the Midwest, so visitors may also encounter the brewery’s cans away from the taproom, but the city facility remains the most direct place to sample the rotating lineup. Since specific beer names, hours, events, and reservation policies are not established here, guests should verify those details before going, especially if coordinating a group visit or planning around dining.

Located in St. Louis, Missouri, Modern Brewery operates its production facility and taproom within the city limits, contributing to the local beverage manufacturing sector. The brewery focuses on producing a diverse portfolio of beers, including modern interpretations of classic styles and experimental hop-forward releases. Established in the mid-2010s, Modern Brewery distributes its packaged goods across the greater St. Louis metropolitan area and parts of the Midwest. The facility includes a dedicated tasting room and a separate affiliated restaurant, The Kings Oak, providing full-service food options alongside the brewery's rotating draft list. Production utilizes a multi-vessel stainless steel system, supporting both draft and canning operations.
