Be prepared to sober up Saint Louis!

Ok, so most of us do not go to Grant's Farm or the Brewery to get free beer, but it may soon be a thing of the past. InBev has announced that they will not keep the hospitality centers at the Busch Theme Parks. They are eliminating the free beer and adding cafes. Aren't there enough places to spend your money at a theme park?

According to the Saint Louis Business Journal, there is no plan to eliminate the sampling at the Brewery or Grant's farm, but it only took a few weeks for InBev to institute layoffs in Saint Louis, so who really believes them?

Saint Louis has a ton of free things available to its residents and I hope that we do not see them disappear one by one.
