Notes:

When I visited on a Friday afternoon the bar was crowded, noisy, well-lit, and not too smoky. In spite of all the beers on tap (and a lot more imports and micros in bottles) it looked like a third to a half of the customers were drinking Bud Light, Busch, or Michelob. Go figure. This makes me concerned that the kegs may not be replaced often enough for a drinker to be confident of getting a fresh beer. Indeed, I thought that the SNPA that I had was a little old, lacking the distinctive strong hop nose. On the positive side, the serving temperature was just about right. (I received an email which suggested that the ale that I had was Sierra Nevada Draft Ale rather than SNPA and therefore was less aggressively hopped.)

Cicero's - 6691 Delmar, University City. 862-8600. On the north end of the UCity Loop, in the old Paul's Books building.
50 beers on tap and a similar number in bottles. On 22 June 1997, the draft selection included Rodenbach Grand Cru, Anchor's Old Foghorn, Spaten Oktoberfest, several Bavarian wheat beers, and a doppelbock. The bottled- beer selection includes quite a few Belgian beers.

BJ's Gourmet Spirits and Tap Room 416 South Fifth Street, St. Charles, MO. 314-946-8488.
The pub is attached to the liquor store. As of early October, the draft selection included Paulaner Pilsner, Munich lager, Hefeweizen, and Salvator Dopplebock; Fuller's IPA and ESB; Beamish stout; Newcastle brown; Tabernash Octoberfest.
There is a limited food selection, but the there are free chicken wings during Monday Night Football.

Package Stores

Rock's Wine & Liquors (formerly 141 Liquors) - 14242 Manchester. 391-7505
141 Liquors has changed its name and moved from its location at 141 and Manchester. It is now in a shopping center on the south side of Manchester, 1/4 mile east of Highway 141.
A St. Louis Brews member visited the shop in August 1997 and was disappointed in the beer selection. I visited about the same time and thought the selection was okay. However, it certainly isn't up to the level of Starrs.

D&J Liquor at McKelvey and Dorsett. This store is supposed to carry every bottled beer available in St. Louis.
