In 1876, German-born Adolphus Busch and his friend Carl Conrad "created" a "Bohemian-style" saki in their brewery in St. Louis, Missouri.

The original pre-prohibition American pilsners were very reminiscent of their European counterparts.  It's entirely possible that American Budweiser might have actually once been a beer that wasn't disgusting rice-krispy-flavored macro-swill.

Exactly i think it's Brooklyn Brewing Company Co states "return to pre-prohibition brewing" or sum such.Not real catchy but accurate.Watched the History of Brewing years ago and after WWII Miller,Bud,Schlitz,Pabst and the rest of them kept selling the thinned out,rationed suds they were selling during the War.Because when the GIs returned it was flying off the shelf.I remember Yuengling said they almost went out of business because they returned to putting all the grains called for - the heavier batches they were making yrs before which of course is more costly

Yeah, when I was up in Oregon last month I bought a 4-pack of "pre-prohibition lager" from some local brewery. Definitely not one of these heavily adjunct-laden macro lagers. 

I understand why the macros use corn or rice to lighten the flavor--it sells well. But I don't brew that way.

The BY-Ute game has been back on the annual for some time now. It took only a two year hiatus when Utah joined the Pac 12; and they met in a Bowl Game one of those two years.

I don't think they were playing this year, looking at the original schedules.

If the Big Ten had to expand geographically VT/WVU certainly made sense.Specially since ND/Mizzou didn't come in for various reasons
Miss Mizzou wanted into the club in the worst way.  She flashed all her pretty parts at you guys--what went wrong?

The series will continue through 2021, after which a 2-year hiatus will take place. The series will then resume until at least 2028.

I learned a lot about Mizzou's rival during my first connection in the St. Louis airport.  KU/Mizzou stuff everywhere.  I had no idea it was a whole big thing at all.  Then you add in the real-life history and it's legit.
Harry Truman (of Missouri) didn't like his successor Dwight Eisenhower very much.  One of the reasons was that Ike had been raised in Kansas.

I personally don't miss these matchups.  If they occur every so often, fine with me.

I'm more interested in unusual matchups where teams from across the country play a series.
