More than thirty years ago, Schlafly redefined beer by creating the craft movement in St. Louis. Our founders challenged the status quo from day one with a diverse collection of flavorful styles brewed in small batches with traditional recipes and methods. Being the original locally owned, independent craft brewery in Missouri comes with a responsibility. Our brewers work to keep up with demand but never seek to outgrow their neighborhood roots. Every beer we pour, package or raise is made by hand and with heart. You can even monitor our distribution and see why we maintain a thoughtful footprint that ensures quality and extends our ongoing commitment. To achieve a diverse collection of beers, our brewers utilize numerous hop varietals, malts, grains, fruits, natural ingredients and yeast strains from around the world to make each of our 60 Schlafly beer styles unique.
