Abbey Spencer started off like many brewers, by brewing at home.

Her first batch was pretty good, the second? Undrinkable.

But the success of the first drove her to keep trying. And her recipes did not go unnoticed. Now she’s the head brewer of Third Wheel Brewing in St. Peter’s.

She sat down with the Meet St. Louis podcast to talk her favorite style of beer, the importance of St. Louis Craft Beer week and why she hopes to inspire other women in the craft beer industry.
