Although G/B was no more, the St. Louis brewing scene remained vibrant. The Griesedieck family continued to operate the brewery at 1920 Shenandoah with the Falstaff Brewing Corporation. In fact, the Number One sales position had passed from Griesedieck Brothers to Falstaff, followed by Busch, Bud, and Schlitz.By the 1970s, though, Falstaff found itself in a costly anti-trust suit with the State of Rhode Island, and the Griesediecks ultimately sold their shares in Falstaff to brewing magnate, Paul Kalmanovitz.The Griesedieck Brothers Brewery, which had been in continuous operation, one way or another, since 1850, ultimately closed its doors in 1977.
