Spotted on a wall in the brewhouse at St. Louis Brewery’s Bottleworks<\/a>: “Uncle Tupelo rates the beers.”<\/p>\n

Obviously dated since Uncle Tupelo – born just a few miles away, and across the Mississippi River, in Belleville, Ill. – broke up in 1994. But still fun, and it didn’t hurt that The Band was belting out “The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down” on the brewhouse stereo while I scribbled some notes.<\/p>\n

Budweiser<\/strong> – Statement on how f–ked up the world is. Should not be the most popular beer in the world. Just proves that sexism in advertising gets you anywhere.<\/p>\n

Miller<\/strong> – Good, but we shouldn’t admit drinking it – look what happened to the Long Ryders and The Del Fuegos.<\/p>\n

Black Label<\/strong> – Rare delicacy, hard to find.<\/p>\n

Michelob Dry<\/strong> – Wet, good for breakfast.<\/p>\n

Heineken<\/strong> – All the best things in life smell bad.<\/p>\n

Bass Ale<\/strong> – Good fish. Good beer.<\/p>\n

Red, White & Blue<\/strong> – Role model, cheap date, highest recommendation.<\/p>\n

Old Milwaukee <\/strong>– Only beer that hangs out in the refrigerator for longer than a week, last resort.<\/p>\n

Pabst<\/strong> – Old man beer, check back in 30 years.<\/p>\n

Schlitz<\/strong> – Functional beer.<\/p>\n

Old Style<\/strong> – Probably why all the bands in Chicago suck (just kidding).<\/p>\n

Strohs<\/strong> – Forgettable.<\/p>\n

Corona<\/strong> – Too many requirements. Evil stigma.<\/p>\n

Fosters<\/strong> – Love it on payday, love those sulfites.<\/p>\n

Olympia<\/strong> – Grunts, groans, flashbacks, etc. Never referred to by full name.<\/p>\n

Coors<\/strong> – Mussolini’s choice. Heavy metal beer.<\/p>\n

Stag<\/strong> – Hometown beer, goes good with adolescence, rest in peace.<\/p>\n

EKU 28<\/strong> – Most potent beer in the world, good ice cream topping.<\/p>\n

Maybe the group should reunite just to put together an updated list.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
