I want to do the beer school at Cicero's, I just can't because of my work schedule.

It's not just area Missouri beers that they bring in. Last night was North Coast, out of Ft. Bragg CA. It's most notible is "Old Rasputin" Stout.

In the past 2yrs, I've sampled:
Urban Chestnut, O’Fallon, Tallgrass, Free State (we hissed and booed when they said Lawrence), New Holland, Oskar Blues, Two Brothers, Cathedral Square, Charleville, O’Dells, Great Divide, Rogue, Lagistina, Bells, New Belgium, Top Hat, Crown Valley, Schlafly, Santa Fe, Kirkwood, Widmar, Goose Island, Public House, The Dudes, Delirium, Ferguson, Arcadia Ales. And a few I can't remember.

Still waiting on DeSchutes and Founders.

I'm going on the Beer School "Field Trip" on 4/11. We get on a bus at 9am with a keg of New Holland White Hatter and a keg of Founders TBD (I'm pushing for the Porter). Go to some area breweries for drink, and brewing. Then pour off the bus at 7pm, where I have a ride to take me home.
