Food and Drink Features
Matt Carney
All my extended family lives out of state, so we usually meet at my
grandparents’ house in Missouri for the holidays. So close to Kansas
City, Mo., Boulevard brews are aplenty, as are St. Louis’s Schlafly
(they have a September- October-only pumpkin ale that literally tastes
like you’re drinking a spiced pumpkin pie still glowing from the oven),
but this year I’ll bring a handful of my favorite Okie beers to share
with the cousins, aunts and uncles.
