Not to worry though––St. Louis has great places to find last minute Father’s Day gifts.

Does your dad love a frosty craft brew?

The brewery recently introduced its Beer of the Month Club, the perfect gift for beer-loving dads this Father’s Day. You can opt to purchase three certificates for $30, six for $55 or nine for $75. Each certificate gets dad one growler and can be redeemed once a month or throughout the year as your dad sees fit. Or opt for 12 certificates for $100 and give your father the gift that keeps on flowing–he can redeem his cards for a new growler each month.
