I never imagined a bookstore would be closed on Monday.

Yeah, it's kinda weird. A lot of places are open either Tues.-Sat. or Tues.-Sun. I've never understood why. Which book store did you go to? Subterranean?

My only other rap on the place is that it was so darn hard to get microbrews there. The hospitality suite was just crammed with Anheuser-Busch products for some reason!

Gee, I wonder why.
Seriously though, you just have to look a little for the microbrews. Quite a few St. Louis bars and restaurants offer them now. I highly recommend Schlafly, a local product. (The Oatmeal Stout is most excellent.) In fact, if you get the time during your next visit, head to Cicero's on Delmar in the University City Loop. I believe it just reopened (it caught fire and burned down last year). They offer something like 32 beers on tap and over 100 bottled varieties. Other good places are Brandt's and Blueberry Hill, just down the street from Cicero's. Also, there is the Morgan Street Brewery on Laclede's Landing, where they actually make their own beer (or several beers...I don't remember).
