Do you remember the end of the tour at the Falstaff brewery? When the tour ended you were taken to the Hospitality House. A huge room that gave the impression that you had entered Sherwood forest and were about to meet Robinhood and a bunch of his Merry Men. As you entered the room, without spying Robin, the first thing you encountered was a table about twenty to thirty feet long loaded with every kind of cheese and cold cut the world has ever known. Ham, salami, baloney, roast beef, roast pork, pastrami, and all the terrific German sausages, you name it and it was on that table. Chips, but no dips, they didn't exist yet. And the breads, so numerous you couldn't have kept up with the different types. And finally the beer taps. There was a beer tap for every type of beer produced in that brewery in North St Louis. And would you believe Falstaff out shined The Bud folks in South St Louis? It was truly a North and South war fought for the hearts and minds of the beer drinking world, and it all took place in our very own home town of St Louis, Missouri.----Jim
