Local Stories & Spotlights
Local stories. Independent voices. The people behind the places.
ThreeOnePour shares the people, places, and ideas that make St. Louis worth exploring. From beer and breweries to local businesses, collaborations, and community, these stories go beyond the destination to highlight the people behind it.
Because discovering local is about more than where you go—it’s about the people who make it worth going.

Let’s Support Something Local
Have a story that deserves attention, a community project worth sharing, or a business challenge you would like to discuss?
Whether you are part of the beverage industry, operate another independent local business, or simply want to introduce me to something happening in the community, I would be glad to hear from you!
INDEPENDENTLY LOCAL
ThreeOnePour’s editorial coverage, recommendations, guides, and community advocacy are independent of my professional consulting work.
You don’t have to be a client to be featured, recommended, or supported. I highlight breweries, businesses, events, people, and organizations because I believe they’re worth sharing—not because there’s a business relationship behind it.
That independence is important to me. It keeps ThreeOnePour focused on what it has always been about: discovering great local places, sharing meaningful stories, and supporting the people who make St. Louis better.
Recognition like USA Today’s 10Best plays an important role in the local beer scene’s growth, says STLBeer creative director Brian Margiotta, “National recognition helps put St. Louis on the map as a beer destination,” Margiotta says. “That kind of attention brings new eyes to our brewing scene and often to the city itself prompting visitors to check out our neighborhoods, restaurants, shops, and other local businesses.”
