I have a beer question. Hope some St. Louis residents can help me out.

So I live in Kansas City, Missouri along with my girlfriend. Her parents also live here. Now her dads favorite beer is Michelob Golden Light, but apparently no one sells it this far west in Missouri. He says that you can find it in parts of St Louis, but that it's hard to find. My girlfriend and I are going to be there this weekend for a friend's graduation party, and I was wondering if any of you have seen this beer at gas stations or liquor stores. Trying to gain some brownie points here.

I could be wrong but I thought I saw some at Schnucks last week.

It's definitely at Schnuks, OP just needs to call around and ask. When in doubt Total Wine and Friar Tucks might carry it or know someone who does. I think Dirt Cheap carries it too.

Thanks for the help. I'm gonna call ahead to see if Shnucks does have it.

Is that a chain store?

Definitely. The two dominant grocers here are Schnucks and Dierbergs. Both based in STL and are all over the place.

FYI, I don't know how much it applies to alcohol, but some of their stuff does vary by the store. For instance, the store closest to me doesn't have any whole fat greek yogurt options but the one second closest to me does have multiple options for it.

Okay I'll just look around then. Thanks for the help.

They have Schnucks in Columbia also, I'd call ahead there as well just in case.

Which Schnucks? Each one has slightly different stock depending on where they are.

Golden light used to be hard to find in STL, but it's pretty easy to find these days. That said - a pretty good light beer.

That's good to hear. I've never had it, but I'll have to try some since he's made it out to be delicious.

Schnucks definitely carries it in St. Charles county but that is only in 6 pack bottles. If you want cans you can only get them in 12 packs, but you have to drive to SuperValu or Handee Mart in Highland, IL or Red Bud, IL. Up near Wisconsin they have 30 pack cans, but I know that doesn't help you here. You can actually call 1-800-DIAL-BUD and they might be able to tell you where you can get it in the area. I called once and they told me what I already knew that cans were in Highland. If you find cans elsewhere, please report back. Our pool doesn't allow us to bring in bottles.

Try Randall's?

You may want to call ahead and ask so you aren't driving all over town.

Definitely a good idea. Gonna be driving all over St. Louis anyway though. Got the whole weekend.

I'm pretty sure A1 Liquor on Telegraph across from Dirt Cheap has some as well.

Ha, when I lived in KC I would bootleg cases back from Iowa every time I went.

It is everywhere here in 6 pack bottle form. Not quite sure if I have seen it in 24 packs frequently but I am not really looking for that quantity these days.

1
clonesguyOP•

Well shit I'm actually looking for the 24 pack cans. Should have specified. Girlfriends dad is kind of picky and does not like bottled beer.

1
JimmerTeeTGS•

Yeah, I'd be surprised if some of the larger liquor stores didn't have 24 packs but I was just saying I specifically don't recall seeing it, probably because I wasn't looking.

1
clonesguyOP•

Is A1 considered one of the larger stores?

1
JimmerTeeTGS•

Not sure, I'd just google and call ahead and ask the ones in the area you will be.

To my knowledge the largest liquor stores are going to be Randall's and Total Wine

Not available in cans, only kegs and bottles.

On an unrelated note: Does anyone know where to get Yuengling in St.Louis?

1

Not available in Missouri or Illinois. Tennessee and Indiana are the closet places.

Find a friend that travels the midwest a lot for work and make an arrangement. I got friends that have their own little black yuengling market.

I forgot my friend is driving back from Ohio today! Thank you for reminding me lol.

It's on draft at one of my favorite lunch spots in the area, Mimi's in Ferguson.

Its gotten more and more common in recent years. I've never had to look very far for it.
