St. Louis is full of great breweries. We’ve taken you behind the scenes of most of them here on the Meet St Louis Podcast, sharing the brewing secrets, the collaborations and the camaraderie. This week we headed up to North St. Louis County to sit down with Robb Wiesen at Ferguson Brewing Company. Robb took over as owner a few years ago but has been with the brewery since they opened their doors in 2010.

The brewery has been through some tough times, including protests and unrest in the Ferguson community and a bad fire, but through it all, they’ve stood fast as more than just a brewery but a community gathering spot. We sat down with Robb during the busy lunch hour to talk about 14 years in business.
