(Visited 09-2008): This rustic sister to Square One Brewery is located way out in Augusta. Make sure you check the hours before making the drive if you are coming from the city, as I learned the hard way when I originally tried to visit back in February only to find them closed. The brewpub is located just off I-94 overlooking the Missouri River. There is a small lot to the side of the brewpub. The outside ie beautiful, with a small biergarten and an outdoor bar, all with nice views of the river and surrounding woodlands. The outside bar has a cooler with some beers to go and a small merchandise table, as well as a large chalkboard listing the current beers. The interior is smaller with s short bar and a few tables. They have a small collection of breweriana inside too. The beer selection is pretty good, and there is some crossover with Square One. The beers range from Blonde, Hefe, Witbier, Pale to Stout along with a seasonal Rye. They also have a couple of their beers in bombers. Overall the beers are above average. The service was very good on a weekday early evening. The bartender was pretty much doing everything (hosting, cooking etc) and was efficient and knowledgeable. He interacted well with patrons who were clearly locals and myself who was clearly a visitor. Augusta’s food is good too. I tried the brisket and it was enjoyable. Overall this place might not be worth the drive to some people based out of STL but on a nice sunny day during "tourist season" it is well worth the trip.

Rain closed down Six Flags St Louis for opening day so being in the area I headed up to Augusta Brewing. Nice little place in the middle of nowhere. Cozy area indoors with old bottles and stuff scattered throughout the room. Plenty of places to sit outside, I can see this place filling up on a hot day. It definitely had a small town feel to it, which was kind of nice. Friendly wait staff/bartender/cook – they were pretty much one in the same on the day I visited. Food was decent and the beer was passable, though only five selections were available on my visit.

What a lovely spot to drink some fresh beer. Very outdoorsy, tree-covered biergarten near the Missouri River. All the beers were decent though none really wowed me. That Tannhauser Pale Ale might have been my favorite. Nice place to enjoy some beer if you can make it out here.

Great Beer stop in the Missouri Wine Country. Good brews. brewed from the same formulas found at Square One Brewery in Down Town St Louis. Solid Beer. Decent food. and the perfect stop if biking the KATY trail.

Beers are almost solid, but that’s not the appeal of the place. Stumbled upon it on the way back to St. Louis from a wine festival back in 2004. Nice beer garden with a wine country-type view. Relaxing.

An absolutely wonderful spot to relax and have a brew or two. I would agree that the brews are quite average, but the view and relaxation are far and beyond most breweries. Decent and standard selection of fare. Go here if you want to have a beer and watch the clouds pass by.

visited nov 05. I gave this place an awesome ambience rating due to its huge open air patio/bar. the view of the missouri river valley is wonderful. The beer is hit/miss. the pale ale and stout were pretty decent. the hefe was average (some diacytl). overall, if your in the vicinity i would definately check it out , but its not worth the jaunt off I70 if your from out of town.

A very small brewpub located in a fantastic setting. The garden is facing the Missouri River Valley. The Hefe is decent, light notes of banana, but not spectacular. Same with the stout, good, but not great. This brewery is located near many quality wineries and nice B and B’s.

Been here a few times; it’s a nice beer respite in otherwise wine country. They have a handful of pretty good beers and some good enough snacks. Cool little location,not far from St Louis.

My service score may be a little high as we were the only ones in the place...but it was March and the season hadn’t picked up yet. Every beer I had was very very nice. I couldn’t help but think was a nice stop this would be while hiking the Kady Trail...but then I might not finish my hike.
