St. Louis brewery, Schlafly Beer, releases their newest variety pack, The Weekender.
Press Release
ST. LOUIS, MO (May 15, 2023) — Schlafly Beer, the original, independent craft brewery in St. Louis, announces the release of a new variety pack, The Weekender. This pack includes a variety of crushable summer beers, thoughtfully bundled with fan favorites and new styles. The Weekender offers two exclusive brews – Hazy Getaway IPA and No Bounds Brown Ale – alongside Schlafly’s year-round Kolsch, and a seasonal favorite, Raspberry Hefeweizen. The 12-pack includes three 12-ounce cans each of the four beers.
“We wanted The Weekender to fully embody the fun and carefree nature of summer and to bring a pack that’s easy to take with you on summer getaways, camping trips, picnics, and trips to the beach. These beers offer a little something for everyone, for instance, Raspberry Hefeweizen is refreshing and fruity – it’s a great beer for people who don’t think they like craft beer, and the Hazy Getaway IPA offers a lighter take on IPA’s at 110 calories while keeping the juicy hop flavor IPA’s are known for," says Schlafly CEO, Fran Caradonna. “With most of the beers ringing in under 5% ABV, it’s a sessionable selection for summer.”
The Weekender Variety Pack features three 12 oz. cans of each of the four beers, including:
Kolsch (ABV: 4.8%): Done properly and with distinction, this definitive golden ale is fermented with a yeast strain from Koln, Germany - where Kolsch originated. The result is a slightly dry and subtly malty brew with the delicate aroma of an ale and the clean finish of a lager.
No Bounds Brown Ale (ABV: 5.6%): The perfect blend of American and European malts to create notes of caramel, biscuits, and subtle hints of honey and chocolate, balanced with hop bitterness from American Ale yeast, allowing the malts to shine.
Raspberry Hefeweizen (ABV: 4.1%): A true fruit beer - not a fruit-flavored beer, this brew uses real raspberries during primary fermentation. This naturally yields a pink, hazy-colored brew with citrus aromas from the wheat and a desirable flavor that is neat and tart. Low in bitterness and not overwhelmingly sweet, this is our brewer’s summer water.
Hazy Getaway IPA (ABV: 4.0%): At only 110 calories, this golden IPA sways to the lighter side, but is still packed with juicy hop flavors with an unfiltered haze.
The Weekender 12-pack is available across Schlafly’s distribution for $17.99 as well as at Schlafly’s four brewpubs: Schlafly Tap Room in downtown St. Louis, Schlafly Bottleworks in the Maplewood neighborhood of St. Louis, Schlafly Bankside in St. Charles, MO and Schlafly Highland Square in Highland, IL.
About Schlafly Beer: Schlafly Beer, St. Louis’ original independent craft brewery, proudly brews a diverse collection of beers throughout the year.

Your 2024 Citi Field Beer Guide
I went to Citi Field for a Mets game on Monday night. It’s a tradition that I do not just because I love baseball, but because I get to inform you, the readers, about the beer selection at the ballpark for the coming season. This game was a classic case of the Mets completely blowing it in the tenth inning. And speaking of blowing it, Citi Field management blew their opportunity to sell me a second beer at the game. After grabbing a quick Brooklyn Lager from near my section to watch the first few innings, I got up to scope out the beer selection, knowing that some new stuff was available for this season, like Allagash White and Threes Vliet, which happen to be two of my favorite beers.
I managed to find these beers, but completely behind lock and key, next to Fiddlehead IPA and Sloop Juice Bomb IPA at an unoccupied beer stand. In fact, every single stand that sold these beers — seven stands in all, on all levels of the stadium — was closed on Monday night. And yes, I realize it’s a Monday night in April and not every concession stand would be open. But in previous years, Citi Field at least made an effort to keep one stand with certain beers open during every game. Sometimes that meant trekking across the stadium just to buy the beer you want, but you could still at least buy the beer you wanted somewhere. This year, based on my experience on Monday, I can’t guarantee that’s going to be the case. If Citi Field is going to keep all these stands closed for weeknight games, then they need move these beers to other concession areas that are open for every game.The sad, closed Boozy Buckets stand at section 131, where you can buy cans of Threes Vliet when it’s open
Anyway, if you’re lucky enough to get to a game when these stands are open, you’ll find Allagash, Fiddlehead, Sloop, and Brooklyn Summer at three generic-looking beer stands on the upper deck and the Coca-Cola Porch branded with Coors Light, Blue Moon, and Peroni, plus on the field level behind sections 114 and 129 in Coney Island and Montauk-branded booths. Threes Vliet is available in cans at two stands called “Boozy Buckets,” which are behind sections 131 and 418.
Generally, throughout the ballpark, the bigger regional beer brands are easy to find. You’ll find Boston Beer’s Coney Island on draft at some concession stands and sister brand Dogfish Head’s 60 Minute IPA fairly regularly available in cans. Brooklyn Brewery’s Lager and Pulp Art Hazy IPA are hard to miss, too, even showing up in the large Coors Light-branded bars behind home plate in the upper deck and in center field. Montauk Beer Co.’s Summer and Wave Chaser, along with other offerings, can be found in many of the grab-and-go beer stands.
The beer selection in the more exclusive club seating areas is significantly better, and features a long lineup of draft beers. The Clover Home Plate Club, accessible to those sitting in the seats behind home plate, has a bar offering 20 draft options like Ghost East Coast Ghost, Sierra Nevada Pale Ale, Montauk The Surf Beer, and EBBS Kolsch No. 2, in addition to many of the previously mentioned beers only available in cans elsewhere in the ballpark.
Non-alcoholic beer options are becoming increasingly common, and this year, you’ll find Blue Moon’s N/A, Sam Adams Just the Haze, and Montauk’s Non-Alcoholic IPA throughout the park in 12-ounce cans.
Not surprisingly, you’ll pay a pretty penny for these beers. 19.2-ounce cans, the preferred sizing in much of Citi Field, will run you $16.05 plus tax. A 20-ounce draft pour of Coney Island, Brooklyn, or Montauk will run you $14.55 plus tax. That’s still under a dollar an ounce (looking at you, Boston), but not by much.
A side note: I realize that IPAs are still generally the best selling style of craft beer, but can we get a little diversity in the beer lineup, please? How many different variations of light-bodied, pale, hoppy beers do we really need? There’s no possible way we’re going to get a stout into Citi Field (though Oracle Field in San Francisco serves Guinness), but a couple more craft lagers or anything with a little more body for the colder months of the season would be nice. That being said, I’m absolutely thrilled about Allagash White this season, and I’m legitimately impressed that was able to get cleared in a ballpark full of Blue Moon taps.
The complete beer list is below, noting which beers are only available in club seating areas:
Allagash White Brooklyn Lager Brooklyn Pilsner* Brooklyn Pulp Art Hazy IPA Brooklyn Summer Ale Coney Island Mermaid Pilsner Coney Island Merman IPA Dogfish Head Citrus Squall* Dogfish Head 60 Minute IPA EBBS Kolsch No. 2* Fiddlehead IPA Founders All Day IPA Ghost East Coast Ghost NEIPA* Gutenberg IPA Lagunitas IPA Montauk Juicy IPA Montauk Summer Ale Montauk The Surf Beer* Montauk Watermelon Montauk Wave Chaser IPA New Belgium Fat Tire Ale* Samuel Adams Summer Ale* Sierra Nevada Pale Ale* Sloop Juice Bomb IPA Threes Vliet Pilsner
*Available in premium clubs

The Most Profitable Beer Styles to Sell
There are many different beer styles from which to choose. However, lagers, Belgian-style ales, and wheat beer are some of the most lucrative varieties to sell.
Since each beer has a mild flavor, your customers will love them. And they are typically very inexpensive.
Wheat beer is a favored beer variety that has been around for a while. It is an excellent option for beer drinkers looking to branch out from classic lagers because it frequently has a light color and is low in bitterness.
It is a versatile beer that goes well with a variety of foods. For instance, you could serve it with a spicy chicken dish or a cheese sandwich.
There are some well-known wheat beers available in the US. These include Kellerweis from the Sierra Nevada and Hefeweizen from Live Oak.
Trappist monasteries have long been renowned for their zeal for religion, but over the past few centuries, they have also become significant producers of fine beer. These ales are produced in the abbey's brewery, and all proceeds support the monastery's upkeep.
The Enkel (single), Dubbel, Tripel, and Quadrupel styles of Trappist ales are the most well-known varieties. From lightest to most vigorous, these beers are arranged in ascending order of their alcohol content.
Real Trappist beer must be created in the abbey's brewery and be overseen by monks to be considered such. Only breweries that adhere to the International Trappist Association's regulations are eligible for this honor.
Mexican lagers are the most profitable beer to sell in the United States, even though craft beer connoisseurs may need to become more familiar with them than other styles. The breweries that make these beers, with Corona and Modelo Especial leading the pack, have seen significant year-over-year sales growth.
To create a light, refreshing beer, bottom-fermenting yeast is used in brewing these lagers. This process is known as lagering. Many beer drinkers find them the best option because they frequently have low carb and calorie counts.
Light and malty Vienna lagers frequently have a hint of caramel. They are typically easy-drinking and have slight hop bitterness.
They also have a long history, dating back to the investigation into British brewing methods conducted by Anton Dreher and Gabriel Sedlmayr.
These brewers went on to develop Vienna lager and Marzen, two beer types that would completely alter the industry. Instead of using direct heat, these malts were kilned over hot air to create the beer.
Kolsch is a hybrid beer that uses ale yeast for fermentation and lager yeast for maturation. This particular brewing method has given this beer style a special place in German beer culture.
It is a light-colored, malty beer with the crispness of a lager and the fruity esters and dry finish of an ale. It is a well-liked reviving option for the summer.
A unique glass known as a strange, or stick glass, is used to serve authentic Kolsch. It is simple to consume several drinks in a short time because it only holds 6.5 ounces, which is less than half the size of a pint glass.
German beer called hefeweizen contains wheat and yeast. It is brewed with at least 50% wheat malt, giving it its famously thick head of foam.
Unique esters and phenols from the particular yeast strain used to make genuine German hefeweizens, known for producing flavors of banana and clove, also define this style.
Contrarily, American-style hefeweizens use less wheat malt and neutral yeast flavors, which result in little to no banana or clove phenols. As a result, the flavor profile becomes more vibrant, hop-forward, and less dry and tart.
Traditional German beer that naturally ferments is called gose. It gets its distinctive sour and mildly salty flavor from a mixture of top-fermenting yeast and lactic acid bacteria, which is why brewers love it.
Despite being a small subcategory of craft beer, goes is becoming more and more popular. Nielsen reports that its market share in the United States is expanding quickly.

Parma’s Schnitz Ale Brewery, located at 5729 Pearl Road, recently opened a new patio. PARMA, Ohio -- After opening up for business last November, Schnitz Ale Brewery recently unveiled its 1,200-square-foot patio that includes a dozen four-seat tables. Schnitz Ale Brewery Operations Manager Igor Djurin said even though the project was delayed, it was well worth the wait. “Obviously, the summertime in Cleveland is so limited, so we wanted to make sure we had a space for people to enjoy the sun,” Djurin said. “This is still only the first phase. By spring of next year, we’re looking to do an overhead awning and add an additional fireplace to the patio. “It’ll be a very traditional-style beer garden with cushioned seats. We’re looking to do some entertainment in the future, acoustic music.” As for the 9,000-square-foot restaurant and brewery, which has ties to Djurin’s family-owned and operated Das Schnitzel Haus located directly across the street, the venue is in the process of expanding. Currently offering a dozen taps, the owner said the number will soon be increasing to 20 craft beers. “We have a company lined up to help us expand our tap room,” Djurin said. “About 80 percent of our beers are German style, from Kolsch to lagers to pilsners to hefeweizens. We have some IPAs as well. “We do throw in some seasonals. We also brewed a pumpkin ale that will be coming out at the beginning of September. We also do Christmas ales.” There’s also a new production facility in Schnitz Ale Brewery’s future. The owner said they just purchased a Progress Drive property in Strongsville. While the Parma venue’s product is currently available in roughly a dozen area stores, the plan is for the new 20-barrel system to allow for Schnitz Ale Brewery beers to be sold in early 2023 throughout Northeast Ohio and beyond. So far, Djurin said Parma’s first microbrewery has been a success. “The reception has been absolutely wonderful,” Djurin said. “It’s a nice place for the whole community to come in and enjoy fresh beer made in-house right here in Parma.” Read more news from the Parma Sun Post.

Cathedral Kolsch
Cathedral Kolsch - Foundation Brewing Company
The Cathedral Kolsch is a light, refreshing beer from Foundation Brewing Company with a good amount of flavorFoundation Brewing Company. This craft beer is a unique take on the traditional Kolsch style, with a light floral scent and a minimal head. The golden amber color is a feast for the eyes, and the carbonation gives it a lively feel in the mouth. For a brief background on the Kolsch or Kölsch style beer, it is a German beer from Cologne (Köln in German). It is a light-bodied, crisp, and refreshing beer traditionally brewed as a lager but fermented as an ale. Kölsch has a delicate balance of noble hop bitterness and a subtle fruity and floral aroma. It is usually brewed in a tall, cylindrical glass called a "Stange" and typically has an alcohol by volume (ABV) of 4.4% to 5.2%. Kölsch is a protected designation of origin, meaning that only beer brewed within Cologne can legally be called Kölsch.
Cathedral Kolsch in a can - Foundation Brewing Company "Crisp and clean with subtle notes of apple from the Kolsch yeast. Well-balanced and completely crushable." Foundation Brewing Company Cathedral Kolsch: A Refreshing Craft Beer Experience One of the standout features of Cathedral Kolsch is its bitter-sweet taste. Its subtle hop presence provides a balanced bitter finish, while the malt and apple provide a sweetness that complements the overall taste. The finish is dry and crisp, making it a perfect beer for a hot summer day or as a palate cleanser with a meal. The light body of Cathedral Kolsch makes it an excellent option for those who may not typically enjoy heavier beers. It's also a perfect choice for those new to craft beer and looking to expand their horizons. And with an alcohol content of around 4.7%, it's a beer you can enjoy without feeling weighed down.
Cathedral Kolsch - Poured into a fancy glass. Conclusion While the Kolsch is light in the body, similar to a Lager, it has noticeably more flavor. If you're looking for a new craft beer, give this Kolsch a chance. Its unique taste and refreshing qualities make it a standout option in craft beer. Suppose you're looking for another type of beer that's light and refreshing. You should check out the Fruit Beer section for more light summer beers! Cheers! Read the full article

Locken’s Tropical Pineapple, a Kolsch style blonde ale brewed with pineapple. Credited to Rockwell Brewing out of Rochester, NY, it’s actually brewed by Genesee. Very smooth with a ton of pineapple aroma but just a hint of t of pineapple flavor, it was still pretty tasty.

Buoy Beer Company celebrates Summer by releasing re-releasing Vienna Lager, Easy IPA, & Kolsch.
Press Release
Summertime is in full swing, and Buoy Beer Company has three new beer releases that pair perfectly with summer adventures.
Back for a second year is Buoy’s Vienna Lager, but with an even better recipe. Crisp and clean, the classic Austrian-style lager is brewed with Vienna and Pilsen malts, cold-fermented, then lagered for 5 weeks and bittered with Magnum and Saphir hops.
Vienna Lager will be next in the company’s Lager Series and was the last to be canned on Buoy’s canning line before their partial building collapse. Now, one year later and with an incredible amount of hard work and flexibility, on-site canning is back at Buoy and Vienna Lager has rolled off the line in 16oz cans for June and July. It will also be available on draft.
If you’re looking for the perfect IPA this summer, Easy IPA is the latest variety from Buoy’s brewing team. Bursting with sweet citrus and tropical fruit aromas, the golden-colored ale is hopped with a trifecta of Pacific Northwest-grown Citra, Estate Comet, and Azacca hops. It’s smooth, flavorful, and dangerously easy to drink in the summertime sun.
Easy IPA is also the next featured beer in Buoy’s Benefit Series. This July-September, three percent of all Easy IPA sales will go toward Ocean Blue Project. OBP is an Oregon-based organization working to revitalize and conserve the world’s oceans, beaches, and rivers through clean-ups and education. Easy IPA will be released in 16oz cans and draft.
Finally, Buoy’s Kolsch is back on draft and in the can rotation this July-September, but this time as a 12oz variety (instead of its previous 16oz). With the change comes a new eye-catching, minimalist-inspired can featuring clean lines and a pennant-shaped logo. Look for it at your favorite Oregon or Washington bottle shop or grocery store.
Crisp, soft, and thirst-quenching, Buoy Kolsch weaves the strict Reinheitsgebot rules with touches of the Pacific Northwest. Heidelberg Pils, Vienna, and White Wheat malts build a light bready body while Opal and Saphir hops blend spicy, floral aromas with a sturdy bitterness.

Three new NYC beer openings for a Wet February
You’ll find ICONYC’s new taproom just to the right of their old taproom entrance (Photo: Chris O'Leary)
The new year is here, and after a slow Dry January, some new beer venues are just getting off the ground. Here are some noteworthy recent openings for beer drinkers in the city.
ICONYC Brewing has moved to a new taproom — but don’t worry, they haven’t ventured far from their LIC location. In fact, it’s so close that they’re keeping their existing patio. The space is in the building just to the north of the patio, and it’s a huge upgrade from their old indoor space, with a long bar, plenty of seating, and a stage for live music and events in the months to come. And you can continue to order delicious Mexican food from their partner kitchen just steps away, Sobremesa.
Keg & Lantern Brewing’s third location in Brooklyn celebrated their grand opening last weekend in Williamsburg. It’s at 104 South 4th Street, in the former Randolph Beer that closed last year. They’ve got a full lineup of beers from the brewery (including flights for the indecisive among us), four-packs of cans to-go, and some familiar Keg & Lantern touches, like a food menu that includes wings, burgers, and nachos, plenty of TVs for sports viewing, and their signature wall of vintage beer cans. The space is open daily from 11am-2am.
Top Hops’ empire has expanded again with another bar inside an Urbanspace Food Hall. Urbanspace Union Square — at 124 East 14th Street — is their latest addition, with 20 tap lines along a long bar at the back of the hall. Among the taps on a recent visit were Return Come Back Kolsch, Drowned Lands Amai Belgian Strong Ale, and Equilibrium Fractal Mosaic/Citra IPA, and KCBC Fellowship of the Bling Barleywine. Take your pick of food pairings from a dozen food vendors in the space, including Bobwhite Counter’s fried chicken, Bao by Kaya’s bao and noodle bowls, and Wafels & Dinges Belgian-style waffles.

#Repost @libationslady I FIND MYSELF IN ISOLATION YET AGAIN. It’s time for yet another edition of: LOCKDOWN LEARNING LIBATIONS EDITION (vol.2) 🇩🇪KÖLSCH Let me know if you’ve tried this historic style before in the comments! This example is from Australian brewery @burnleybrewing ⬇️⬇️⬇️ Named for the west German city of Köln (English translation: Cologne) where the beer originated, you may sometimes see it written as Koelsch. This beer was one of the OG hybrid styles, with the region having a brewing history that dates back to the 1300s. What makes this beer really special is that it uses ale yeast but lagers it. In simple terms, it uses a yeast that ferments best in warm temperature but treats it like a lager yeast with a colder ferment followed by an extended cold second ferment called ‘lagering’. This process leads to a dry and a slightly vinous (wine like) character in the beer with muted fruity notes. It’s similar to a Pilsner with it’s moderate noble hop aroma and pronounced bitterness, but holds slightly more fruitiness as is characteristic of ale yeast. Kinda a lager but not exactly a lager. My favorite thing about this beer is it’s traditional glassware. Forget the steins of Oktoberfest, this beer is served in teenie tiny glasses called a “stange” (German translation: rod) it’s small and straight sided but only 200ml or less than 7oz for those playing along stateside. If you have someone in your life who loathes lagers, or hates ales this is the perfect way to introduce them to either side!
