Cicero’s Italian Restaurant continues their fall Beer School semester this Wednesday from 5:30-6:30PM. Cicero’s Beer School provides background about beers and beer styles usually directly from people directly in the beer industry.

It’s a perfect opportunity to learn more about a style you’re unfamiliar with or to just brush up on a style you haven’t enjoyed in a while.

This week’s school is being taught by Matt Bauer from Tallgrass Brewing. Matt should be on hand to discuss and sample some Kold, Ale, Oasis and Buffalo Sweat. Go out and take advantage of one of the few places where you can drink and learn!

If you can’t make it out to the Beer School, you can check out all of the classes via podcast at Cicerosbeerschool.com.

We interrupt the standard flow of beer tasting information to bring you this special announcement: The Wine and Cheese Place in Clayton will be hosting Matt Bauer from Tallgrass Brewing tomorrow, Thursday September 9th, from 4-6PM.

Matt will be on hand to talk about and taste all of the Tallgrass selections that are currently available in St. Louis. For those of you that might of missed it, Tallgrass (out of Manhattan, Kansas) began distributing in St. Louis in early July and only sells their beer in cans.

Here’s a list of what will be available for tasting tomorrow:

• Tallgrass IPA
• Tallgrass Ale
• Tallgrass Köld
• Tallgrass Buffalo Sweat
• Tallgrass Oasis

There are two things I’ve always said in life:  “You can never have enough craft beer in a can.” & “You can never have enough beer from Kansas.”

There is a 99.9% chance I’ve never said the last one, but I’m sure I thought it in my heart.  Just arriving in St. Louis this morning, Tallgrass Brewing out of Manhattan, Kansas is making their debut in a big fashion:  They’re only available in cans.

As frequent readers of STL Hops know, I’m a sucker for craft beer in a can.  So it’s nice to know that Tallgrass will be made available in this wonderful beer vessel.  Here’s a list of what’s available in St. Louis:

• Tallgrass IPA
• Tallgrass Ale
• Tallgrass Köld
• Tallgrass Buffalo Sweat
• Tallgrass Oasis

Look out for these beers at some of your favorite retailers.
