Agence France Presse is the latest international news organization to swoop in to St. Louis for a report on the city's beer landscape.
Today, AFP filed this 2-minute video report, "Change is a-brewing in Budweiser's hometown," about craft beer's rise in the years since InBev took control of Anheuser-Busch.
The video features interviews with Urban Chestnut brewmaster Florian Kuplent, Schlafly co-founder Dan Kopman and St. Charles homebrewer Sean Sweeney (as well as a shot of my home base inside the P-D newsroom).
Here is some other recent coverage of St. Louis' changing beer scene:
• "Change Brewing," CNBC, March 9, 2011.
• "St. Louis sees craft brewery boom," CNN, Feb. 17, 2011.
• "Craft breweries revive St. Louis beer culture," BBC, June 28, 2010.
