Every year, Schlafly has 80,000 oysters flown in overnight from both coasts, brings in 20 seasoned pros to shuck them all weekend, and brews new stouts exclusively for the Schlafly Stout & Oyster Festival. Here’s why this beloved annual event, happening March 24 and 25, is such a feast for the senses.
Like me, most alert readers (ARs) have probably heard of ChatGPT, an artificial intelligence (AI) tool that some college students are using to write papers. Before any ARs even ask the question, I want to say for the record that every word in every column I’ve ever written has been my own. I’ve never used ChatGPT for anything and have no intention of doing so. As long as we’re on the subject, I should add that, unlike the 19-year old grandmaster Hans Niemann, I have never used AI to cheat at chess nor been accused of doing so. I have also never sought romance or friendship through Replika or any other AI chatbot mobile app.
Downtown West was on the rise before the soccer team. But area business owners say CityPark has inspired them to work together with residents to create a vibrant, sustainable neighborhood. “It’s just so attractive, it really lifts the whole neighborhood,” said…
“This new variety pack represents the work we collectively do at Schlafly – from our beer ideation process, to our pilot system trial brews, to pub-only batches, to being part of our full distribution portfolio,” said Schlafly Head Brewer Jared Williamson
It’s hard to guess what one style of beer is going to appeal to a wide swath during a season. Schlafly Beer in St. Louis solved this conundrum by making a lineup of three special release beers in completely contrasting styles: a white lager, a hazy IPA and a coffee stout.
IPA continues to be craft’s predominant category, with concentrated hop products and bioengineered yeasts leading a wave of innovation…But what about those styles that, for whatever reason, are wrongly overlooked? See what Schlafly’s Lead Brewer has to say.
It’s hard to believe that it was just a year ago that the horrors in Ukraine began to unfold. As may be the case with many alert readers (ARs), my initial shock and disbelief have gradually turned to numbness. It’s almost as if I’ve become inured to the barbarism that now seems sickeningly mundane. I can’t help but be reminded of Hannah Arendt’s memorable phrase “the banality of evil” in writing about The Third Reich. It’s in this context that I want to share part of the Christmas message my wife and I sent out two months ago.
Schlafly CEO Fran Caradonna sat down with the folks at Better On Draft, a Michigan craft beer podcast, to talk all things beer – they discussed changes in the industry throughout the decades, how Schlafly has grown over the last 30 years, and what our future holds.
Schlafly announced the return of its winter sampler pack, Stout Bout, which features four stouts, including two new stouts, one year-round and one returning favorite.
In early 2022 the eyes of the sports world were on the Winter Olympics in China. At the end of the year they had turned to the FIFA World Cup in Qatar. Both of these events were quadrennial spectacles featuring the best athletes in the world in their respective sports. In addition to TV audiences consisting of billions of viewers around the globe, the Winter Olympics and FIFA World Cup had something else in common: the appalling human rights abuses committed by the two host nations.
