Having grown up in Kansas City and then attended college at the University of Missouri, located approximately halfway between KC and St. Louis, I got used to seeing St. Louis (and scores of pathetic St. Louisans) attempt to copy or exceed the ground that Kansas City breaks.
For example, it is widely understood in most of the continental United States that Boulevard brewery, located on Rainbow Boulevard in Kansas City, is the maker of the first, and best, wheat brew, known as Boulevard Wheat. This thick, tasty beer, which tastes great with or without lemon squeezed in it, is coveted far and wide, and Boulevard Brewery has drawn international flak for not opening other distilleries in other cities. Because they only brew in KC, the range of their delicious beer doesn't extend coast to coast.
So with the announcement that Anheuser-Busch is launching "Bud Light Wheat", I can only but roll my eyes and wonder when St. Louis will do something creative, and not just pathetically copy Kansas City?
