A new Missouri law (SB 919) has been a source of contention among craft brewers and beer lovers in the state. Craft brewers feel that it will give a big boost to companies like Anheuser-Busch in convenience stores by letting them lease out refrigerator space. Lawmakers say that stores could stock craft brews in those cases.
What does it mean to be local? Is Anheuser-Busch a local beer because it's based in St. Louis? And how does policy affect our beer-making and beer-drinking habits?
