No offense wine-drinkers,but its seems we get rows upon rows of dusty wine bottles. maybe the answer lies in that dust, wine has a longer shelf life and makes your store look uppity. maybe its the distributers of beer still like to play games with the product availability-some genus is creating demand by limiting supply...

its just a $%#its a gol damn [expletive] travesty!
Freed, have you been to the Wine and Cheese Place in Clayton? They have a pretty good selection.
They use to have a really nice Wine Merchant place in west county up near the West County AMC movie theatre on Ballas that had an awesome selection of all kinds of craft beers. I think they closed it, though.

If you're in that same area check out Provisions on Ballas right across the street from Growlers. Pretty nice selection there.

I think the place in Clayton is a specialty shop owned by the same people that own Provisions. It's pretty cool.

I can't believe I lived just down the street from Provisions for years and never knew the glory of that place's selection.

I might have to check out the place in Clayton then, Haltz, when I'm back in town mid-August.

make sure you stop by Provisions and get the Rick Ankiel autographed wine bat (is it dyed with his Cab or something, how ridiculous) for $700.

edit - it's "stained with his Napa Valley Red". lol

++beer is like jazz. I can dig it. so now I can claim my beer drinking is supporting the arts and thereby the advancement of civilization.

BTW - anybody other than me ever notice how beer goes great with ice cream.

IMHO, using a porter makes the best beer floats.

Saw a great t-shirt on sale at a brewpub in Delafield, Wisconsin yesterday: Livers are evil and should be punished.

You're right; I'm just in love with Fat Tire, so I can basically do anything with it and it will probably taste good to me.
