Schlafly Beer

Here's a nice article about a great local brewery.

"Craft beers continue to grow in popularity nationally. While the overall beer industry experienced sales declines of about 2.2 percent last year, the craft beer segment grew 7.2 percent by volume and 10.3 percent by dollars, according to the Brewers Association, a trade group based in Boulder, Colo."


It's great to read that craft brews continue to grow!

word to Schlafly

In January I was in St Louis for business for a week and hit some of the local beer scene. Schlafly's was a good, widely available beer.

I especially liked Square One and Mattingly Brewing

after drinking there beer for a year. i finally learned how to pronounce there name.

It seems to get easier as you get approach a dozen.

OMG, no offense but I want to punch people when I hear "Schafly"

Schlafly is the beer that finally turned me onto real beer. I tried many others hoping to acquire the taste and it happened with them. I still find them the best, except for my own of course. I have been working hard emptying their bottles so I can fill them up with my own and look sadly towards the day that I no longer have a need of more bottles.

Does anyone have a good Schlafly Clone Recipe? Love that beer, but it's hard to get here on the East Coast.

I haven't tried it but I found this on another forum when I was looking.

I'm itching for a Schlafly AIPA recipe

I stopped there during my weekend in st louis. Not bad for sure, but I really enjoyed the square one brewery & distillery. I had good conversation with the owner and brewers there.

Square on is a cool place. Any establishment serving from a cask gets a thumbs up from me.

I was in St. Louis a couple of years ago, and we went to their tap room. Their Maibock was the best i've ever had.

I remember from the Brewing Network interview with Schlafly that you can take your corny keg in and get it filled at the Tap Room. Kickass policy.

Sadly, the only Schlafly I can get here is muy expensivo. Schlafly Reserve Barleywine and Imperial Stout.
