Today is International Beer Day! Even if it sounds like a recently created holiday, we're happy to use it as an excuse to have several beers.
We've also taken the opportunity to look back at the last year of happenings in the St. Louis beer scene. Some might think International Beer Day means we should drink foreign beers. We prefer to think of it as the day when the whole world raises a collective glass of local brew.
