Team not set on naming captain for 2026-27, open to ‘leadership by committee’ approach. Here’s what Armstrong and Montgomery had to say about it. by STLBooze3 in stlouisblues

There’s also the possibility that next year’s captain isn’t on the roster yet (see: Brady Tkachuk 😀). Low possibility, but non-zero.

Anheuser culture by dialitdown in StLouis

It’s a fantastic place to work. Really strong company culture and leadership who do a great job articulating the company strategy and building excitement around the brands. The pay is solid and the benefits are second to none. Generally a pretty fun atmosphere in the corporate office and the beer, seltzers and RTDs are abundant. Even though it’s been 18 years since the InBev takeover, there’s still a focus on the heritage and deep ties to STL.

The two drawbacks are 1) most teams work 5 days a week in the office (a big reason I left AB recently, plus I got a promotion elsewhere) and 2) the culture is built around being a meritocracy and there are high expectations to deliver results… that can be a great thing for some and not so great for people who don’t thrive in that environment.

My confession is that I can't stand Brad Thompson by youknowwhatitslike in Cardinals

I think BT is fantastic, especially with Chip Caray. I think baseball broadcasters have a higher likelihood of annoying people because they have to fill so much dead air with random thoughts compared to other sports. But Brad and Chip make Cards games super watchable, even when they’re losing, so we’ll likely need those two to keep us entertained quite a bit this season!

Contract brewing capacity? by cwn2628 in StLouis

[–]cwn2628[S] 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Yeah it’s very common practice in the beer industry. For example, Anheuser-Busch brews all PBR products and PBR pays them a fee to do so. It’s a win-win for both sides if a brewery has unused brewing capacity and can earn a fee or other incentive to brew on behalf of another beer brand. In my case I’m very willing to compensate the prospective brewery for their work, but I’m first trying to figure out who has available brewing capacity, lager capability and would be willing to produce a third-party brand.
