After White Claw Summer 2019, the proliferation of hard seltzers has been hard to escape. While it may horrify some beer nerds that serious craft breweries are involved in such frivolities, this trend didn’t start with water.

In 1990, Fran Caradonna and her then-husband upended St. Louis’ beer scene by starting a distributorship. They wanted to give local drinkers a choice beyond Anheuser-Busch — and, when Schlafly Beer was founded a year later, the Caradonnas’ company naturally became its distributor.   They helped introduce St. Louis to many new craft beer brands, helping to shake up what...

It’s no real surprise that brewers are, in aggregate, an inquisitive bunch. Brewing is part art, part science, and the relatively short time required to go from raw material to finished beer has always allowed for a certain degree of experimentation. Since the craft beer revolution in the 1980s, and especially in the early aughts, American craft brewers have made...

Beer mixing is something I enjoyed back in college, but admittedly, it got forgotten until just recently. While attending the recent Schlafly Cabin Fever festival, I was in line for their Imperial Pumpkin when I got to the front of the line, I asked the gentleman what he felt the difference was between this beer and the regular Pumpkin Stout....

A sustainable solution might just give a market edge to one local brewery. In the St. Louis beer battles, it’s an altruistic accouterment for your ales that might be the cure for the six-pack. “We call them can collars,” said Will Rogers, head of marketing for Schlafly Brewery. “Essentially, they’re wet strength cardboard with a laminate, so they can go...

I was just reviewing some of my writing from back in 2018, at the height of popularity of New England Style IPAs. Two years later, what I’m seeing now validates my belief that this style of beer was more than a trend and more than a craze.

Recent reports from IRI and Nielsen show off-premise sales of beer, flavored malt beverages (FMBs), and hard seltzer all increased in 2019. According to Nielsen, sales of beer, FMBs (including hard seltzer), and cider increased 3.4 percent to $39.6 billion in 2019. Beer comprises a much bigger slice of the pie — per IRI, $37.2 billion compared to FMBs’ $4 billion — but...

Trailhead Brewing Co. announces today the sale of its brewery and operations to Schlafly Beer, the original independent craft brewery in St. Louis. Located at 921 S. Riverside Drive, St. Charles, Missouri, Trailhead Brewing Co. will become Schlafly Bankside, Schlafly’s third brewpub in the St. Louis area in early 2020, along with Schlafly Tap Room (2100 Locust St.) and Schlafly Bottleworks (7260 Southwest Avenue).  

Schlafly Beer, an independent craft brewery in St. Louis, has partnered with Oklahoma-based Boardwalk Distribution, said to be the largest independently-owned distributor in the state.

Craft beer’s shift into alternative beverages has been one of the biggest trends of 2019. The most notable addition to many brewing portfolios has been spiked seltzer, which appeals to a new subset of drinkers, expanding the brewery’s revenue stream in the process. Craft breweries rolling out new spiked seltzer lines doesn’t generate the same type of headlines it did...

f there was one alcohol craze that dominated 2019, it was the increase of hard seltzers flooding the market (and our livers). Now, Schlafly Beer (multiple locations including 2100 Locust Street, 314-241-2337) is hoping to bite some of that same gluten-free and calorie- and carb-conscious market with a spritzer of its own.

We've got Black Friday specials for you including a new Event Pass that gets you tickets and beers to each premier Schlafly event in 2020.

There are so many pumpkin beers on the shelves these days that it's difficult to figure out what's a trick and what's a treat. We’ve done the tough work of drinking the best pumpkin beers in America to ensure your next six-pack is full of sugar, (pumpkin) spice, and everything nice.

  Fran Caradonna gets a bit embarrassed when she talks about her beer-drinking past. "Don't tell anyone, but I was a Natty Light girl back in college at the University of South Carolina," Caradonna laughs. "It was the '70s. I was a frustrated hippie. I drank it because it was 'natural.'" As one of the most influential pioneers of St....

For fans of things astronautical (space nerds, if you prefer), Schlafly brewing company is taking a small step for beer drinkers and a giant leap for bottle collectors.

Don't know what you're making for this year's dinner? We've got a beer-inspired recipe for you that features our latest special release. This year, make this Merry Berry Cranberry Sauce just in time for holiday festivities.

Food and beer has gone together ever since people have came together over a good meal and good drinks.  But sometimes, certain beer styles go better with specific dishes– bringing out certain flavors that would otherwise go unnoticed.

There is good news to report, as Tasmanian IS BACK, for a limited release, and with a new look. TIPA returns to the market next week in 4-packs of 16-ounce cans. The new format will extend to all of Schlafly’s Hop Allocation beers, a series of hop-forward beers released throughout 2019.

We’ve made it, Chicago. That one month and a half of pure fall bliss before we slowly descend into winter madness is here, and along with it comes an assortment of pumpkin-flavored beers to perfectly match the mood.

Schlafly Gardenworks Gardener, Ally shared her favorite fall crops and tips for planting before the weather gets too cold.

In one long weekend, I paced my way through a medley of elegantly prepared produce, house-made sausage and bread in a refined but unstuffy James Beard Award-nominated restaurant. I tore through street foods of Sarajevo-style cevapi (grilled mixed-meat sausages) and pide (Turkish wood-fired flatbread) from a teal and fuchsia food truck. I stuffed myself with feijoada, a hearty Brazilian meat...

It's finally beginning to feel like fall, but the heat isn't gone for good just yet. Today, we're celebrating National Coffee Day. Get the best of both worlds with this easy-to-make Iced Pumpkin Stout Latte. 

There’s no bad time to drink beer — but fall is my favorite time to drink beer. With the juicy glow of summer’s fruited pale ales and light lagers fading, snifters of oil-slick candybar-sweet stouts and sledgehammer barleywines are on the horizon.

Late last month, the CANarchy Craft Brew Collective announced the release of a variety pack that includes beers from four different breweries under the Collective’s umbrella. So four different breweries in the same box; It’s a cool concept that truly nails the “variety” aspect of a variety pack. And it’s not the first multi-brewery box we’ve seen.

Craft lagers are here in a big way, and I could not be more on board. My fellow drinkers looking to explore the non-ale side of the beer spectrum would be smart to start with a well-constructed helles, like this one from The St. Louis Brewery (which brews under the brand Schlafly). And if you’re already a member of Team Pilsner, an...

Summer Ingredients Found in Summer Craft Beers About a half mile down the road from my house is a fully-functioning farm stand.

Tips on Growing Swiss Chard with Ally [/vc_column_text] Chard is a cold season crop, but fairs well in the summer, often continuing production from spring to fall. In early to mid spring, soak your seeds overnight and direct sow 6 to 8 inches apart into well worked and fertile soil. Keep soil moist until germination. In my experience, chard germinates...

Schlafly Beer Ranks #1 of Best Cocktail-inspired Beers There are beers, there are cocktails, and there are beer cocktails. Then, there are also beers that taste like cocktails. Cocktail-inspired beers are a new style of beverage that inventive brewers have brought to our attention in recent years. The experimental spirits (no pun intended) of brewers like Pipeworks Brewing, Brooklyn Brewery, and Two Roads Brewing...

“There can be no growth without failure,” noted Karben4 co-founder Zak Koga. “Every slight miscalculation with a beer style, recipe, branding, timing, etcetera, is part of our story in creating what we hope will ultimately be success. The key is to really embrace the process and not the outcomes — at least that’s what I’m trying to tell myself.”All failure is invaluable....

We love a craft beer promotion that supports another craft or small business because it reinforces that spirit of community and independence that’s crucial for the industry (and we dare say, society).

It saddens me a bit that back in 1992 when I tried my first craft beer — a Schlafly Beer Pale Ale; I did not have the foresight to realize I was tipping back something special. I didn’t know that it would not only mean something to me 27 years later but inspire me to write about it.

If you don’t know about Northeast IPAs (some call them New England IPAs or just NE IPAs) then you haven’t been paying attention. In the last few years, these beers have migrated from the East Coast to all over the country.

For the past 10 years, I’ve been lucky enough to attend Schlafly’s Cabin Fever beer festival. It’s so nice to have something to look forward to the get me through the dreary winter months. No matter what the weather, it’s nice to get together with fellow beer enthusiasts to sample Schlafly’s finest wares.

The series, which began last year, gets a new look for 2018. The bottle design now showcases the research and development inside each of the inventive beers with a handwritten look and feel and a descriptive neck tag.
