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.

I’m in the process of working on a couple of projects that I think everyone will enjoy, so hopefully we’ll see those come to fruition in the coming weeks. Anyone headed down to Stout and Oyster this weekend? I may stop by on Saturday afternoon, but I have a rather busy weekend ahead of me. On to the Round-Up:

Stuff from around the web

• Anheuser-Busch discusses their newest recipe, Sun Dog Amber Wheat.
• The Post-Dispatch had a recent article about the growth of craft beer.
• Hope you don’t plan on bringing some of that craft beer down to Dogtown parades.
