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).

  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.

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.

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...

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.

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.
