The Stable microbrewery

About a month ago I posted about a couple of microbreweries coming to the Benton Park Neighborhood of St. Louis in the coming months: Mattingly Brewing Company and the Stable. Info has been scarce on the Stable until I got a email from a reader a couple weeks back.

I’m happy to say that the project is coming along great and that they are on track for a June opening. Read more

More on the Lemp Brewery redevelopment

The South Side Journal is reporting that this project is “a go.” Despite continued doubts from local observers, Garrison Development reps are saying that they are moving ahead. For a more detailed update, check out the full article.

Lemp Brewery project still chugging along

This is one of those properties that has been “on the verge” of being redeveloped for years. It’s one of the few local “icons” that hasn’t been either developed or demolished. A good project centered around this complex would do a lot for the area in southern Benton Park and Marine Villa. But maybe I’m just biased because I live in Benton Park. Nevertheless, its just a matter of time before something finally happens to it. I just hope this isn’t another one of those cases where the momentum builds up only to fizzle away a few months later. From the sound of the recent article in the Post Dispatch it at least seems like this proposal is being treated somewhat seriously.
