I was going to wait to have this one, but sometimes an opportunity presents itself.  In this case, my traveling partner got me upgraded to first class on our flight.  With first class, comes free drinks, but my choices were Bud, Bud Light, Corona, and Heineken (all canned).  Having grown up in St. Louis, I went for the hometown beer (St. Louis, although, after the InBev buyout, it’s not really the hometown beer anymore)....
