AB and Coors are really pushing the craftyness of their products. Blue Moon (coors) has a line of about 15 different varieties, most of which have left the witbeir original behind. While Shock Top is not so prolific in varieties, AB touting of being a local brewery and comparing itself to craft beers is just a little wrong. Just a little. Now I've always liked Shock and Blue, and a million people drink Bud every day, but let's keep the playing field even and have full disclosure. Of course, that doesn't happen in any other industry, so I doubt it.
Great beers locally coming out for the summer:
Schlafly has Summer Lager, a great summer beer and XIPA, my favorite IPA. They tweeked the recipe, so I'll see if it's still tops.
Perennial has Homefront, an IPA with proceeds going to troops, Barry Rye, blackberries, and if you can find it Savant Beersel and Fantastic Voyage.
4 Hands has two IPAs with Warhammer and Contact High.
O'fallon has Wheach, a peach wheat, year round now.
With 20 plus breweries around town, you should get crafty too. And if the mood takes you, grab some buds.
Cheers
