I live in St Louis, tried just about all of Schlafly's beer and to me they are an average at best micro brewery similar to Boulevard. Some of their beer is ok, nothing is outstanding and some are down right skunky.

Hopefully they can get it together and get up with the big boys in quality like Bells, Sierra Nevada, Dogfish head, bla bla bla.

@EclecticDiscus I think Schafly is pretty good, but you really can't put them up against Bells, DFH and Sierra, those are far superior craft beers. I feel the same way about Rahr here in Fort Worth TX - a good craft brewery, but nothing to knock your socks off!

It's winter now, be sure to grab some Schlafly Centennial EBS.

Their APA is a fine beer. Recommended.

It's one of my favorite beers. It's in a brown six pack. It is good when freshly poured, and proceeds to get even better as it warms.

BTW, If you want to try a Porter, try Great Lakes Edmund Fitzgerald. It's as good as this style gets.

I've heard of Edmund Fitzgerald - I'd love to get my hands on some. Thanks for the comment!!

I can almost always taste bug spray when I drink pale ale. That may be the tangerine taste you mention, but I just can't enjoy them because of that. I do love many of Schlafly's other brews though, and highly recommend having a brother in St. Louis. It's worked out well for me.

That's an interesting comment! Your senses are giving you a bug spray taste most likely triggered by something in the hops. I've had beer that tasted like hot dog water smells, most likely triggered by a yeast strain.

Good to know! I meant to say St Louis. Boulevard makes many excellent beers!!

Sorry to tell you this, but I believe Boulevard is actually the largest American-owned brewery in the state of Missouri. Sorry, had to represent for a second...

I agree with you about Lagunitas. Their IPA's good.

Thanks for the comment Carver - my favorite beers are the ones that are the most well balanced kind!! It really matters and I think balance is lost on a lot of beers.
