06/13/08 Friday Round-Up
June 13, 2008 11:25 am Beer NewsHappy Friday the Thirteen to you all, hope your spooky June day goes well.
There is one thing I want to talk about before I start today’s Round-Up, there’s been some rumblings as of recent that I’m in cahoots with certain retailers or breweries when it comes to posting information. Let me just say that’s patently false. I credit the person who provides me the information first. Some people are more active about providing information and I think it’s only fair to credit them.
This is a free site and I run it because I love beer. Anyway, on to the Round-Up
Stuff from around the web
- Anheuser-Busch is getting viral.

Andrews email said something about Fathers Day gift baskets, might be interesting…..
My buddy at deVine in Valley Park has mixer sixers, mostly O’Fallon, Schalfly, and AB products, but he is getting more in as he builds a better client base.

Devine, like Sam said, is in the new strip mall at Dough. Ferry and Big Bend–same side as Iggy’s and Corner Pub.
Corey is a GREAT guy and could really use the support from folks like us. Plus, his prices are good, he’s knowledgeable and very helpful. I urge anyone in that area to go by and say hi and spend a few bucks.
