Hip Hops!

Beer lovers are hopping for out-of-state brews

With sales of craft beer continuing to climb here, drinkers are pushing to get more cult breweries to distribute in Missouri, and the breweries are answering their demands with increasing frequency.

The state was flooded with dozens of types of new beer last year when breweries such as Founders from Michigan, and Moylan's and Lagunitas from California started selling here. And more are on the way.

The next is likely to be Colorado's Ska Brewing, which brewery president David Thibodeau tells me is set to hit St. Louis within the next few months. He says a big part of the decision to distribute here was insistence from beer fans.

"We get an overwhelming amount of inquiries from Missouri," Thibodeau says.

Ska's beers are already available in Kansas and Illinois, which Thibodeau says may have "tickled the fancy of Missouri's craft-beer lovers."

Looks like the rumors are true-- Evan Benn reports that SKA Brewing from Colorado is coming to Missouri. I have been trying to get a confirmation from the brewery for a few weeks now, but no luck yet. SKA has many great beers including some in CANS!!! Click here to see their website
