Let's go kick some honey buns.


Happy Friday readers!! Today, I'd like to discuss a Six Row brew I tried at a recent Six Row/OG planning meeting, as well as talk about another local item near and dear to my heart.
On Wednesday, I stopped by Six Row's fantastic brewery, located close to both the main SLU campus and the SLU Medical School campus. This cozy brewery is one of my favorite places in Saint Louis- they've got ample board games, spacious upstairs and downstairs seating areas, a well-lit parking lot with cameras, and a tasty food menu!!

I sampled a couple beers, including their Wednesday One-Off, "Honey Buns Hefe." Wow! With a delicious cinnamon aroma and excellent wheat flavor notes, I was loving this beer. A great spiced wintertime hefe that I would love to see in production all the time. 
I also enjoyed a glass of their Vanilla Porter, another great winter beer. I ordered a pizza and paired that with a glass of Double IPA, of course! Seriously, what goes better with pizza than a nice IPA?
No pictures of the pizza because I was far too busy eating it, but I would definitely like to recommend their Supreme to anyone who might find themselves at Six Row, craving a good pie. With sausage, onions, green peppers, and tasty mushrooms all on thin crust, you won't be disappointed. I even got to make a special request for my pizza: Provel cheese instead of Mozzarella!
Provel is a controversial topic for Saint Louisans- some (like me) worship the stuff, while others write it off as burnt rubber. And I'll admit, the blend of Swiss, provolone, and cheddar has a taste and texture that might be off-putting to some, but it is a great rainy-day treat. Popularized by the famous local chain Imo's, Provel has a tangy quality that many Saint Louis residents adore. If you've never had it, I encourage you to step down to an Imo's near you. You might even be able to snatch up Imo's "Great Tastes of Saint Louis" box, which features a pizza, some breaded "Provel bites" which are like mozzarella sticks but better, toasted ravs, and some cinnamon bites for dessert!

Surprisingly, for as much as I love the city of Chicago, I've yet to find a deep-dish pizza that I truly enjoy. If there's a pizza you truly love, leave a comment below!
