Rockwell Beer Co. head brewer Jonathan Moxey shares 12 of his favorite St. Louis spots
From his time brewing at Perennial Artisan Ales to his current role as head brewer at Rockwell Beer Co., Jonathan Moxey is known for creating well-balanced beers that make you want to order a second round. Whether he’s brewing modern classics like Rockwell’s Passing Clouds, a peppery Belgian witbier that never disappoints, or creative beers like How Sweet of Me (a collaboration with Chicago brewery Cruz Blanca), a recent Belgian-style tripel that’s brewed with piloncillo sugar and Indian green coriander, Moxey’s beers consistently pique your curiosity. Whatever you’re drinking (or eating) at Rockwell, it tends to be a good time – and that’s the kind of mood Moxey seeks when he goes out. When he does go out, he drinks … you guessed it, beer. “I’ve been in love with beer for a long time, but for me it’s just as much about the individuals, and whenever I go out for beer, I get it at a brewery because it’s best at the source,” he said. Here’s a roundup of his favorite spots to grab a cold one.
