It really was a fantastic event -- one I'd happily consider attending again next year. (It was one of the kick-off events for St. Louis Craft Beer Week, which apparently has about 100 scheduled events.)
Anyway...you might want to use the list of attending breweries, cross reference it against Beeradvocate or Ratebeer to see if he can find any others worth trying. I'm sure a lot is stuff that is produced in such small quantities that it's typically only available on tap at the brewery, but some of it must make it into bottles and cans.
That's so very kind of you! We'll look into it, thanks!
He recently tried the Allagash White and found it surprisingly understated, while a Canadian witbier, Blanche de Chambley, was on the other end of the spectrum, but still nice enough. It's always nice to have extra options at dinner, though La Chouffe is in no danger.
