That’s sad it’s going to be closing. But another great video by you two ♥️

The barrel vault is very cool, in more ways than one!

Another bit of crazy old history of St Louis, never knew a bit of that when I lived across the river for 4 years, thanks, you two are awesome, stay safe.

[bridgetvest]

I hope the new owners do something really cool with the space. Interesting video guys!

Imagine people riding around on horse and buggy with no modern tooling deciding they needed massive underground rooms for making beer. Makes sense.

Thanks for showing this 😊

OMG! That's such a great premise for a horror movie. In a small, picturesque town, a passionate microbrewer decides to purchase an old, dilapidated building that once housed a popular tavern. The building, however, has a hidden secret: an extensive underground cave system that was long forgotten. As his family begin renovations to turn the space into a trendy microbrewery, they uncover more than just dusty old bottles and cobwebs. As they start working on the brewery, small items begin to go missing: tools, ingredients, and personal belongings. He brushes it off as typical renovation chaos. However, one of the children mentions having a new friend they play with in the cave...

Thanks, once again, for a very interesting video. It's sad that the brewery is closing but I am glad we got to see it before that happens.

Sucks that this brewery is now closing. They had delicious beer

[DovieRuthAuthor]

Awesome episode! I’ve been to St. Louis, but no one told me about this. 🍺

Always enjoy your work & happy to see you branching out from Southern California! Keep up the excellent work

That was a lot of material removed and time to empty out that lagering cellar.
One of the cooler micro breweries I've seen. The owner knows his stuff and tells it well.
Edit: I hate to hear they are closing. Thats quite unfortunate.

When I was very young, I went downstairs to one of the lower levels of the Great Masoleum at Forrest Lawn Glendale . We had to go to the crypt of a relative of the Annheiser Busch family. Scared the crap out of me! There used to be the first Busch Gardens in Pasadena. I think part of it is still there.

Thanks for the adventure. Good to see you're exploring again

I wish i was able to access AB's caves. I just finished a 7 month Co-Op at their Research Pilot Brewery. I was able to get away at some points to see certain areas that were closed off, and found a very old area that may have been a cave at one point, but was bricked off. Funny timing this video is.

[wayne_jkl]

Wow super interesting! Sad to hear about another brewery closing down tho :(

[NHRA_JEEP]

It's sad to see this business closing. They put so much work into it.

[noahcount]

You bring us viewers videos of very interesting and unusual places, Bethany and Drew. Thanks for finding, exploring, and sharing Earthbound before the planned end-of-2024 closing of the business. 👍
