Co-writer’s death comes as authors release STL brewery history
Just as a longtime book project was unveiled, one of its three authors died.
Henry Herbst died Friday of cancer on the very day that co-authors Kevin Kious and Don Roussin were featured in Go!, talking with Evan Benn about “St. Louis Brews: 200 Years of Brewing in St. Louis” (Reedy Press, $39.95).
The book signings tonight and on Thursday will go on as scheduled, said a spokeswoman for the Schlafly Bottleworks. Relatives of Mr. Herbst are expected to attend the event.
