Where do you find the beer list in most St. Louis restaurants? On the last page of the wine list — if you're lucky. More often than not, it exists only in your server's brain. It's not too tough, after all, to commit to memory a "selection" of Bud, Bud Light and Bud Select. A server might try to memorize the beer list at the Shaved Duck. A photographic memory would help. The new gastropub in Tower Grove East stocks a terrific selection of beers. It's not the longest in town, but it's curated with great care. American craft beers are featured, from local folks like Schlafly and O'Fallon to industry "giants" like Bell's, New Belgium and Anchor Steam to lesser-known but not lesser lights like Charleville and North Coast. There are only four taps, but the restaurant rotates in new brews with some regularity — all the more reason to return again and again.
