“Spirits of St. Louis” is the brand name of Square One Brewery’s Distilled Spirits line.

Our goal is create hand-crafted spirits using local bounty and natural ingredients to produce spirits that are full of flavor.  With an endless palette from which to create spirits, like in the brewery, we add a little twist to create unique flavors.  Currently the following spirits are available in the marketplace :
