Just weeks after launching production in Baden, Griesedieck Brothers Brewery is rolling out two new beers: Double Mellow and Brightest Day Hazy IPA. The former is a dark-brewed session lager with a caramel chocolate malt flavor and a 4.5 percent ABV. The latter is a New England–style India Pale Ale with 5.5 percent ABV and a focus on newer hops.

Proceeds from sales of the IPA will benefit St. Louis chapter of the ALS Association, as part of the company’s plan to “give back to local organizations we know make a positive difference in the community we live in,” ninth-generation brewer Bob Griesedieck said in a statement.

Both beers will be made with local ingredients “as much as possible” in an effort to support local producers, the company said. The beers will only be available via draft initially, then be ready for sale later this month.

The new beer comes shortly after Griesedieck Brothers started brewing on its 15-barrel system at its North City facility. The Griesedieck family revived the brand in 2002, after a more than 40-year hiatus, but it took a while for the company to begin brewing again.

In September 2016, the Griesediecks confirmed the brewery’s location at 1240 Switzer, though the company missed its target launch date of June 2017. “We had a bit of renovation to take care of on the building’s interior, as we wanted to make sure our brewery has the ‘old brewery’ feel to it,” the company said in a statement. “About this time last year, we were able to get steam, electrical, and water all hooked up and started truly testing the equipment this past summer.”

The brewery already produces Griesedieck Brothers’ Golden Pilsener and Unfiltered Bavarian-Style Wheat. Its 15-brewery barrel system will allow for an expanded menu, including the newest beers.
