Fans of good beer rejoice: The Saint Louis Post-Dispatch reported on Sunday that The Saint Louis Brewery, the folks behind the Schlafly line of beers, have negotiated tentative deals to brew at sites in Stevens Point, Wis., and Latrobe, Pa. Company co-founder Dan Kopman told the P-D that the brewery will start making some lager-style beers in Wisconsin as early as this summer in efforts to meet the brewery’s growing demand.
My entreaty: Keep moving east. New York needs Shlafly Pale Ale. I agree with Paul Gatza, director of the Colorado-based Brewers Association who told the P-D that “there has never been a better time for beer drinkers in America.” Still, the good times could get even better for New Yorkers if Schlafly keeps heading our way.
