Brewery Review: Lost Signal Brewing Company (Springfield, MO)

Lost Signal Brewing Company
Springfield, MO

Make no mistake about it; there is no way of getting lost in Springfield as long as Lost Signal is around. You can easily find this brewery by looking for the radio tower downtown and using it to guide you to some tasty craft beer, best of all at night it's lit up with a colorful pattern to help you find your way.

Once you make your way to the brewery, you will immediately find a rather spacious tap room serving a variety of craft beer and some tasty food options too. I visited on a Thursday afternoon and was lucky enough to grab a seat at the bar and engage in some friendly conversation with Kym and Tyler. We learned a lot about how dedicated they are to the taste of their beer, and it shows. I started off with a flight and sampled a number of their beers. However my favorite had to be the On Air IPA and the Atomic Wedgie which was a PB&J Ale, it was very subtle on the flavor and very smooth. I also enjoyed the Bai Blanche with Cranberry and the Jack-Ale-Lantern Pumpkin Ale.

The food here is just as good as the beer, after looking over the bbq focused menu, I quickly decided on the Lost Signal Poutine, which sounded excellent needless to say it did not disappoint. However, I will say that I did grab a taste of the available sauces and dipped my fries into them just to try, and they were great too.

Overall the service, food, and beer at Lost Signal are excellent. I look forward to returning to Springfield at some point to try more of their delicious beer.

Brewery Review: 4x4 Brewing Company (Springfield, MO)

4x4 Brewing Company (Springfield, MO) While I was only in Springfield for a short time, I made every effort to visit each brewery. I could have passed on 4 by 4 Brewing because it was a little bit outside of downtown. However, this is not one to be missed. When I arrived, I noticed that they had eight beers available, along with four blends which offered up some variety by combining their brews to produce a more distinct flavor. Like always, I started off with a flight, which consisted of four 4oz pours. It was difficult picking a single beer as my favorite. However, I will say that my top three had to be the Salesman's Wit, Parkside Pineapple IPA, and the Pom Pom (Pomegranate Blond Ale). As far as the blends go, I enjoyed the Salesman In the Park, which was a blend of the Salesman's Wit and the Parkside Pineapple IPA. It was well balanced and a great tasting beer. In addition to beer, 4x4 also has board games and popcorn available, which will help make a night out ...

2019: Beer in Review

2019 was quite a year, I visited my first brewery outside of the United States during a trip to Mexico, visited the Great American Beer Festival, and visited my milestone 200th brewery. Over the year, I was able to visit 55 new breweries and sampled over 848 unique beers from 287 different breweries. The Great American Beer Festival in Denver, along with several beer festivals in my hometown of St.Louis helped me sample so many different styles of beers. Despite the massive variety, my most common beer style of the year was likely a toss-up between the many IPA varieties and Saisons, however towards the end of the year, I started to venture more into stouts, which is something I usually have stayed away from. St. Louis, MO (Metro Area) St. Louis is my hometown, so I would make an effort to visit every brewery within the region. I think as of this year I have visited most, but there is always something new opening. St.Louis is easily one of the best beer scenes in the country. ...

Great Taste of the Midwest Beer Festival

Madison, WI - August 10, 2019 2018 was my first year attending the Great Taste of the Midwest, and I have to say it was quite an experience that no craft beer lover should miss. For those that are not familiar, Great Taste of the Midwest is the second longest-running craft beer festival in North America. GTMW brings together over 190 brewers in a scenic location overlooking Lake Monona while providing some great views of downtown Madison and the state capital. Ticket sales can be challenging, as they are typically released the Sunday after Cinco De Mayo at select locations in Madison, however, if you do not happen to live in or near Madison you can enter their mail order lottery for tickets. Should you be lucky enough to secure tickets, you will encounter a massive selection of craft beer, great food, and fun entertainment. One of the best things about GTMW is that despite the size the festival never felt like it was too busy, lines were tolerable, and I never seemed to wait more ...
