Huerter earned great respect in the St. Louis beer scene.

DALLAS — Deep Ellum Brewing Co., the microbrewery in the works from beer aficionado John Reardon, has hired a brew master: Drew Huerter, who will move here from St. Louis, Mo., where he earned raves for his craft beers.

Huerter was a brewer for St. Louis outfit Schlafly and also head brewer at the Mattingly Brewing Company, where he issued a series of sought-after Belgian ales, until Mattingly shut down in mid-2010.

From a letter he wrote announcing his departure:

"I will be building out and will be running a new production brewery, Deep Ellum Brewing Company. Yes, we will be bottling. Yes, the lineup will be ambitious, creative, daring and boundary pushing."

Huerter will start in April.
