To be honest I was a little turned off by the arrogance displayed by the Schlafly label saying " The Saint Louis Brewery". As most everyone that knows me knows, I live by Anheuser beer. Although, I am not ready to concede total brewing rights to Schlafly, I will say that they make a damn fine beer.(I have already admitted to loving their pumpkin ale)
Schlafly's seasonal Oktoberfest was very good. it was an amber color that looked a little more light than most Oktoberfest beers. The taste was really full. There was a small presence of caramel, but it was not really very sweet. The malts were the majority of what I tasted, and I thought they were rich and smooth.
I really enjoyed this beer and I think if you like Oktoberfest lagers, you will too.
That is the name of their company. Like Sam Adams is actually the Boston Beer Company, Schlafly is the brand name of beers produced by the St. Louis Brewing Company.
ReplyDeleteMan, I will have to admit that I may have had a few too many when I posted that. Thanks for the heads up. It's always good to learn something new about beer. Also, thanks for checking out our site. Anything that you have to add is always welcome!

Hi JT,
ReplyDeleteAs the other poster said, our legal incorporated name is, in fact, The Saint Louis Brewery, Inc. At this point though we pretty much just refer to ourselves as Schlafly Beer in everything we do to avoid confusion. Really glad to hear you liked our Oktoberfest and Pumpkin, thanks for the kind words. If I can ever be of any assistance, don't hesitate to shoot me an email.
Cheers,

Troika,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the heads up and thanks for checking out our blog! I want to come by and see the brewery the next time I'm in St. Louis!
I do have a question. Why is Schlafly Beer not sold in Arknasas? I would love to be able to buy that here without driving to the state line.
Have a great weekend!
JT
