Hard to believe there is still room for another brewer. Center Ice downtown is open. I think there are at least 5 -6 i havent been to.

Auto Beauty was kicked out? Landlord didnt like them?

They are the landlord iirc. Apparently was a decades old zoning issue. Didn't end well in that they couldn't find a place in WG for them so they moved to Olivette-ish.

Was specific to ABS. Goes back to the 90s I believe. Began doing body work when they were supposed to only do detailing, or something like that.

With this explosion of neighborhood microbreweries, are the national brands like Stone, Lagunitas, Bell's etc losing business?

Yes. The national craft brand is in the most precarious position. Local tasting room based businesses like Fieldwork are killing it.

Octoberfests!

I like the Urban Chestnut version again, but refuse to call it O-Katz. It'll always be Oachleeslalahafffeezzzeeee to me.
Sierra Nevada's is great again. Haven't found Ayinger's yet, but have faith it is good. Schlafly's you bethcha.


I needed to work on my beer gut.

obviously i'm inferior and don't deserve to live but i wanted to try it anyways. though reading online its being classified more as an american pale ale. i never know what my liquor store will have and i'm bad about being taken by labels....plus i see its freakin' 171 calories per glass. i wish they'd put this [expletive] on the label. why does booze have to be so caloric?! another reason weed is better....

Because that's what makes it good. There's a reason nobody* drinks that Bud Select 55 / MGD 60 / ultra low calorie crap. Because it's awful.

*nobody that I trust anyway
