City Brewery / Charles G. Stifel Brewery

Before Falstaff and Budweiser dominated St. Louis beer, Charles Stifel built a major North Side brewery along Fourteenth Street.

Charles G. Stifel's City Brewery grew into a substantial nineteenth-century brewing operation along North 14th Street near Howard, linking one of St. Louis's prominent German-American families to the city's brewing boom.

The Story

What Remains Today

The historic City Brewery/Stifel Brewery site was along North 14th Street at Howard. Much of the original brewery complex is gone, and the surrounding street grid and neighborhood have changed substantially. Historical sources commonly list the brewery as 1911 N. 14th Street or describe it as extending along North 14th from Howard toward Chambers.
