Well, this is it, this is the beer that created quite a sensation at last year’s Hop in the City festival, the Schlafly American IPA.  But Mike, this beer isn’t the beer that was brewed back in September, is it?

No, it’s not.  In order to get a baseline to compare against the 8% version of the AIPA that’s arriving this spring, they needed to brew another batch of the original.

So, not only do you get one of the best IPAs in the St. Louis area served on cask, but you can get it alongside the best place to get Neapolitan Pizza in the St. Louis area, The Good Pie.

This Friday, March 5th, starting a 5PM,  a representative from the St. Louis Brewery will be tapping a cask of the American IPA and will be serving it until the cask runs out or The Good Pie closes.

Sure, you can get cask beer at the Tap Room, but you can’t get American IPA or some Neapolitan Pizza to go along with it!  Head on out there for some great pizza and beer.

Double your pleasure and double your casks next week at Cicero’s when they bring in, two, count ‘em, two casks of Bell’s beer.  As part of next week’s beer school, Bell’s Brewery will be offering up a cask of Two Hearted Ale and Expedition Stout.

This class has been put together to display the difference in cask conditioned beer versus bottle conditioned or force carbonated beer.  It’s an interesting experience that will sure to leave your taste buds very, very happy.

This event will be taking place next Wednesday, March 3rd starting at 5:30PM.  I will warn you that seats are first come, and this class will fill up quickly, so get up their early.

It’s always fun to walk into your local watering hole and see a cask of beer sitting on the bar.  So here’s a couple of chances to drink some Schlafly cask beer in your neighborhood this week:

Bleeding Deacon – Thursday, February 25th – 6PM
Bigelo’s Bistro – Friday, February 26th – 4PM

Are you ready for some football? How about some cask beer?  Well, this Sunday at the International Tap House you get both.

As part of their week-long anniversary celebration, iTap will be hosting a Super Bowl Sunday Chili Cook-Off, on Sunday February 7th. Bring in your best chili recipe and maybe you’ll win a gift certificate to iTap!

“But Mike, didn’t you say something about a cask?”  Ah, yes.  This event will also mark the first time (according to MoBev’s Derek Bean) a firkin of O’Fallon Brewery’s house ale Irish Red has ever been available. (I hear it’s been dry-hopped with Chinook.)  This cask will be available starting at 5PM.

Football.  Chili.  Cask Beer.  Sounds like a hell of a way to spend a Sunday.  (Also look out for the draught list for Saturday’s STL Hops Select Party later this afternoon.)

Tomorrow is the first Friday of the month, so that must mean it’s time for another fantastic pairing of best place to get Neapolitan Pizza in the St. Louis area, The Good Pie, and a chance to enjoy some delicious cask beer from Schlafly.

This Friday, February  5th, starting a 5PM, a representative from the St. Louis Brewery will be tapping a cask of the Schlafly Dry-Hopped APA (this version has been dry-hopped with Columbus and Simcoe). They’ll be serving it until the cask runs out or The Good Pie closes.

Go and enjoy some beer the old fashioned way, the cask way.
