Mike Sweeney started St. Louis Craft Beer Week 10 years ago and has watched it grow into a destination event over the last decade.

Now at 2nd Shift Brewing, Mike remains one of the driving forces behind St. Louis' burgeoning craft beer scene.

Taking stock of the incredible event he started, and the ever-expanding beer community in our city, Mike sat down with Meet St. Louis to talk about how far the Gateway City has come as a beer tourist destination and how we can play a role in the future of beer culture.
