It's not bad for your BL, ML, etc etc type of beer.
Where in Clinton Co. can you get it?
There's a grocery store in Breese where I usually snag some. SuperValu might be its name? I forget...
The first time I had it was in Minnesota. It's Great!
You can find it anywhere they sell beer in New Baden, which isn't a bad drive from STL (30 min. or so down 64 from downtown). They also have it in Red Bud, IL at the Moto Mart, usually just inside the door. The guy who works there told me that people drive in from Missouri and buy 3-4 cases at a time.
One of the parents from the team I coached last year works for Illinois Distributing and he told me that it is generally only marketed in areas where MGD (Mediocre Genuine Draft) is the top seller. The reason it is not sold in most markets is because it would cannibalize Bud and Bud Light sales.
