Operated by the St. Louis Paranormal Research Society, this immersive 90-minute walking tour feeds curiosity about the chilling events that unfolded in the brewery’s sprawling basements during three decades of eerie silence.

Unlike a traditional brewery tour, this experience offers an unusually intense glimpse into history’s shadowed side—mixing historical accounts with the palpable atmosphere of an allegedly haunted industrial relic.
Located in a city known for its iconic Gateway Arch and deep-rooted brewing culture, the Lemp Brewery Bottle Works is different.

St. Louis Paranormal Research Society guides are well-versed in both local lore and scientific methods used in ghost hunting, giving the tour a grounded, investigative edge.

It’s ideal for adventurous travelers interested in urban history, ghost lore, or those seeking an alternative way to engage with St. Louis’s cultural landscape.
