According to the organizers of the St. Louis Brewers Heritage Festival, St. Louis is the Beer Capital of the country. Since Anheuser Busch is headquartered here, I guess that has a lot to do with it.
Anyway, the festival was so much fun. Upon entrance into the festival, we were given small glasses which we used to taste the various beers. There were two beer tents - the ale tent and the lager tent and the seven breweries showcased 63 different beers. I tasted beers from each of the seven breweries. Believe it or not, AB actually knows how to brew something other than Bud and Bud Lite...hee hee hee. Anyway, all of the beers were great. The only one I wasn't particularly fond of was one that Bill chose. It was a Smoked Beer by O'Fallon Brewery. It definitely had a smokey flavor to it. In addition to the beer, the food was great too. We had a crab cake sandwich from Sqwires and a huge (and I mean huge) pretzel from Harvest bakery.
The festival was very well organized. I'm hoping that this becomes a annual event. Bill & I even talked about volunteering at the festival if they decide to do it again next year.
Cheers!
