Old Bakery Beer
Old Bakery Beer in Alton, IL offers a great variety of ales, stouts, porters & beers! Their Octoberfest bier which should be available soon is one of the best beers in StL metro area during the Fall! Their fare is also very good! Their Ruben, Cuban, & Burgers are flavorful & filling. The staff are very helpful & know their products very well! I recommend ordering a couple of flights.

The Potosi Brewery not only hosts the National Beer Museum, they also serve up deep fried green beans. And they were AWESOME! Check it out.

PromiseLand Winery
Oh what a sweet and unique venue with some absolutely fantastic wines! Whether red or white, dry or sweet you can’t go wrong here! Loved tasting several different “flavors”, hearing the story of the winery, perusing the little shops inside and most of all meeting some awesome Iowans! 2 Favorites: Kid Sister and Reminisce !
