Urban Chestnut Brewing Company is an unconventional-minded yet tradition-oriented brewer of craft beer. We like to call our unique brewing philosophy Beer Divergency—a ‘new world meets old world’ brewing approach wherein UCBC contributes to the ‘revolution’ of craft beer with artisanal creations of modern American beers, and pays ‘reverence’ to the heritage of beer with classically-crafted offerings of timeless European beer styles.
Accordingly, we have a name that captures this divergent approach to brewing.

The modern day growth or ‘revolution’ of American craft beer is occurring in transformational cities like Denver, Boston, Portland, Seattle, and St. Louis. Urban areas full of craft beer enthusiasts who are actively building and supporting the small, artisan-based communities in which they live.

Our sentiment of ‘reverence’ to old world beer is of second nature to our German-born brewmaster, Florian, who views the chestnut as a symbol of the tradition and heritage of beer. Many European brewers have for centuries utilized chestnut trees to protect their biergartens and bierkellers (shallow underground beer cellars) from the sun.
Situated in an old 1920′s garage that has been outfitted to accommodate our ‘new world meets old world’ brewery, UCBC is located in a district of St. Louis known as Midtown Alley—a part of town with some history that is undergoing a revolution of its own. A great place for us to be a part of the vibrant urban culture yet remain grounded by our chestnut roots. Please visit us and experience what our Beer Divergency is all about.
