Say hello to the trendy new juice bar in The Grove.

Instagramable smoothie bowls, fresh-pressed juice and super food elixers draw big crowds to the café. Over the whir of the blenders, the Bauer’s talked to Meet St. Louis about the challenges of opening a business, the desire to inspire others and how they scoured thrift stores to create the perfect minimalist hang out.

Episode 27: WellBeing Brewing Company

"We do something no one else in the country does." WellBeing Brewing Company has, by any measure, the most success in their first year of any St. Louis brewery ever. They're in 26 states, part of dozens of festivals around the country, and are adding customers by the minute. They've created some of the most unique beers in their industry, including ones you can drink at work, at home, or on the road. That's because there's more alcohol in a banana than there is in a WellBeing beer. The first non-alcoholic craft brewery, WellBeing is becoming well-known thanks to Dry January, but they've been growing for more than a year now. Drinkers and non-drinkers alike are picking up WellBeing across the country, and the care they put into making the best beer you've ever tasted. Brand manager Tom Halaska sat down with Meet St. Louis to tell the story of what makes WellBeing so different, why he quit drinking, and why more people than ever are reaching for non-alcoholic beer.
