Just a few blocks from CITYPARK, one of St. Louis’ newest breweries is quickly making a name for itself.
In Episode 47, I sit down with Nicole and Jay Thompson, founders of Blue Jay Brewing Company, the award-winning craft brewery that opened in Midtown in 2023. Known for its European-inspired small-batch lagers and welcoming, family-friendly taproom, Blue Jay has quickly become a gathering spot for both craft beer lovers and neighborhood regulars alike.
Nicole and Jay share the story behind launching the brewery, why they chose Midtown, and how they’ve built a space centered around quality beer, hospitality, and community connection.
