If you’re not all festivaled (yes, I did just make up a word) out yet then Saturday, June 28th is your next chance to get yourself a sampler glass and enjoy some Missouri beer.  Westport Plaza is hosting a Beer and Brat Festival from Noon-6PM next Saturday to raise money for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.   Here is a list of the breweries who are attending:

• Schlafly
• Buffalo Brewing
• Anheuser-Busch
• Alandale
• Boulevard
• Griesedieck
• Gruhlke
• Ray Hill

Tickets are $20 in advance and $25 dollars at the door.  Not too many things go better together than beer and brats.

Rendezvous Cafe & Wine Bar, who has always been a big supporter of beer tastings in St. Louis, will be hosting Ray Hill on April 23rd from 7PM to 8PM to discuss and taste his American Pilsner. Ray was a former homebrewer that decided to take his recipes to the next step and began brewing them himself. Now he’s partnered with Anheuser-Busch to bring his American Pilsner to market.

The cost of this event is $5 and you can RSVP right here.
