Lindsay Peel of Affton stocks up for an upcoming party with a case of Bud Light at Randall's Wines & Spirits Thursday, May 3, 2012, in St. Louis. There is a quiet battle underway over the future of one of the defining characteristics of the American beer industry: The three-tier distribution system. A bill now before the Missouri Senate would ban beer companies from owning their wholesalers. It's a pre-emptive strike by the state's wholesalers against A-B InBev, which has launched a wave of distributorship acquisitions in recent months, designed to help wring savings out of the 75-year-old system that gets beer from brewery tanks to supermarket shelves.

U.S. Rep. Russ Carnahan extends a handshake to resident Marsha Guilliams (right)  (CQ) at a neighborhood meeting Tuesday, May 3, 2012, in University City.  Members of the group are comprised of University City residents who are concerned about the upcoming local and national elections. I think it is important to meet candidates face-to-face. It makes a difference. I have a difficult decision to make, said Guilliams, referring to recent redistricting that pits Carnahan and U.S. Rep. William Lacy for the same seat. Sitting in the center to the right of Carnahan are Barbara Romero and Kay Watts.  Photo by Laurie Skrivan, lskrivan@post-dispatch.com
