I’m in full-on get-in-shape mode right now. I’m waking up at the crack of dawn to work out, I’m watching what I eat like a hawk, and I even got one of those Nike+ Fuelband gizmos to remind me to get off my ass and move around. On the beer front, I’ve gotten very rigid […]
. I know April Fools Day has come and gone, but honestly, this Schlafly video transcends that single silly date and deserves to be seen by every beer geek in America. Not only do they razz Bud Light Platinum’s stupid name, they also mock the dickens out of the hype surrounding rare beers. Plus anything […]
Breaking news says that St. Louis’ Schlafly Brewing, a brewery near and dear to my heart, is selling a 60% stake to a local investment group. Co-founder Tom Schlafly will retain a 20% stake in the company, and his founding partner Dan Kopman will retain at least 10%. The remaining 10% will be made available […]
Last week I puffed out my chest and crowed about how I received a box of free beer from Schalfly. Among those bottles was one of my favorites: their amazing Reserve 2008 Imperial Stout. I can get the 2010 around here, but the 2008 is all gone. Or so I thought.

Look what was waiting for me when I got home last night – a fine selection of Schlafly beers, all courtesy of my new best friend Troika Brodsky, Communications Director at Schlafly.
I picked up a six pack of Schlafly Irish-Style Extra Stout on Friday night and have to say it’s a wonderful beer. It has a dry, chocolatey flavor and a creamy, satisfying mouth feel. It’s a total treat, and is only available for a limited time, so go snap some up if you’re a stout-loving […]
I’ve said it before and will say it again – timing and mood matter with beer. You can have a great beer when you’re not in the mood for it, and most of its charms will be lost on you. This happened to me a few times by the tail end of GABF, when I […]
Don and I decided to record a podcast while I was out visiting with him in Idaho a few weeks ago. We didn’t have a topic in mind before I got there, but one struck me like a herd of buffalo when first set eyes on Big Sky Country. You see, Idaho still has a […]
