St. Louis Beer Bears...

St. Louis was one of our greatest beer flops.  Country bears expect a lot from the big city, but we were sorely disappointed.  I don't want to hate too much, its not good for my beary complexion, but I just want to do a quick compare and contrast of Schlafly's and Widmer's Hefeweizens.

Schlafly
   - We declare it is no more than reconstituted PBR..!
   - Sour, spittle flavor
   - It came in a bottle AND WAS FIVE DOLLARS.  No prices on the menu, but what might you expect the charge for a bottled beer to be!?  There were a couple of sleep deprived and enraged bears carelessly mauling folks for a few hours there after that trip to the bar...
   - Also, just for an extra little dig, minus points for one of the most difficult brewery names ever

Widmer
   - Good on tap and in a bottle, but always on tap at the bar! Rawr
   - Comes with a slice of lemon or orange
   - I've never seen a pint for more than 4.50, but can usually get it for 3.50 or even 3 during happy hour.
  
And so, Widmer beats the hefe-snot out of Schlafly and we gladly ramble back to the west.




But, before we go, a few nice words...
   One good point of Missourian beer: Boulevard IPA.  Not too bitter and only a hint of hops (versus our liquified hops concentrate)
    "It's pretty great" said my IPA authority as he put his food/sugar deficient head in his hands...
