A new brewery is opening this weekend in the St. Louis metro area, giving beer enthusiasts a taste of its house-made German-style brews.

Lieferbräu Brewery will open its doors at noon this Saturday, June 30, in Red Bud, Illinois.

Lieferbräu is the brainchild of the Liefer family. Kirk and Stephanie Liefer, Kent and Karen Liefer, Ray and Kara (Liefer) Wagner, and Kris and Danielle Liefer will handle operations and day-to-day management.

Head brewer Kris Liefer will make German-style beer in a five-barrel system on the brewery's upper level. Twelve different beers will be available on opening day including the DaniBerry Wheat, a raspberry wheat bear inspired by Liefer’s wife.

Craft cocktails and high-end bourbon will also be available. If guests get hungry, they'll be able to order items from nearby restaurants or bring their own food, according to the Belleville News-Democrat.

The brewery’s interior has a laid-back vibe. Photos of the Liefer farm and family line the walls. Guests can also opt to sit on a patio behind the brewery or enjoy a brew on the balcony.

Lieferbräu’s opening comes amid an influx of new breweries across the Metro East. Hofbräuhaus-St. Louis kicked off operations recently in Belleville, and a $2.8 million craft brewery and distillery is slated to open later this year in Collinsville.

The brewery’s opening also means big things for Red Bud. The town has undergone major renovations during the past two years, and Lieferbräu reflects those changes. “In the last 25 years, there’s been a lot of time and resources committed to the revival of Red Bud," Kirk Liefer told the Belleville News-Democrat. "We have some great restaurants, cool nightlife on the weekends, and we are feel really fortune to be a part of that."

Lieferbräu Brewery is located at 118 Market Street in Red Bud. It will be open from 4 p.m.–10 p.m. Wednesday and Thursday, noon to 11 p.m. Friday and Saturday, and noon–6 p.m. Sunday. It will be closed Monday and Tuesday.
