During a first-time visit to St. Louis in late August, my family and I had the opportunity to sample many beverages. We tried Bitt’s Cold Press, a cold-brew coffee that is brewed and bottled at St. Louis-based Arthouse Coffees, cooled off at an old-fashioned soda shop, and attended “beer school.”
St. Charles, Mo.-based Little O’s Soda Shop served up 14 “Pokémon GO”-inspired sodas, including the Pikachu, which blends pineapple and raspberry dessert sauce with water and seltzer water; the Moltres, which features cherry, banana, strawberry and marshmallow; and the Charmander, a sweet soda with marshmallow, red cream and orange.
