BeerBBQ Shop St. Peters — Restaurant in Saint Peters

We bid on and won a beer/whiskey tasting in early 2024 that this establishment donated to a local charity for live auction. Communication was a serious issue from the very first attempt. I reached out multiple times before ever receiving a response at all starting in March 2024 (it is currently 12/24).When he finally responded he stated that he would work with dates provided and indicated that he had a network of various brewers/distilleries who would work with him. However, after us suggesting a few local names, many, many dates and agreeing that it could be any local brewer/distillery I was again ghosted and still haven't been able to set this event up. At no time did it seem like he planned to or wanted to honor the donation he made. We have been very disappointed from this experience.

You didn't donate an in house tasting. If getting a brewer or distiller is a challenge you previously knew of, it might have been better to donate an in house tasting. These are not...

An amazing shop with (as the name would imply) a great selection of beers and sauces. However, there is so much more to the place. You can grab one of 10 beers on tap to sip while you shop the extensive selection - over 500 at any given time - of beers available. If beer isn't your thing, they have a great bourbon selection comprised mostly of craft and smaller batch Bourbons and a lot of local selections. And lastly, but not at all least, a huge selection of rubs and sauces for your grilling/smoking/BBQing needs. Everything from dry rubs to hot sauces and BBQ sauces and anything in between. And not just your expected off-the-shelf options, but a lot of proprietary options and smaller label varieties from around the country. Regardless of what your interests are, this is a can't miss stop to at least check out every unique thing they can...

This place rebranded from “Beer and Sauce Shop” to “Beer and BBQ Shop” about a year ago. I hadn’t realized the change (the logo is very similar) and brought in a gift card for their previous name and was told it could no longer be taken. While inconvenient, I understand that aspect and can forgive it.

What really is driving the poor review is that we were neither greeted, nor acknowledge during our entire visit despite being the only customers present for most of our time shopping. In the past, employees were keen to offer samples or suggestions. Additionally, they were relatively rude and didn’t even offer an apology for the confusion with the gift card. We also weren’t given a receipt for our purchase.

Still a fun shop with a good selection, but you can find that elsewhere with...
