St Louis' own Schlafly releases some hot new ones...

As reported on www.stlhops.com

Just arrived at Forsyth, Rock Hill, and Provisions
Schlafly has released two new bottle conditioned beers to go along with their Biere de Garde.



Schlafly Grand Cru...$7.49 / 25oz
"Schlafly Grand Cru continues our series of bottle-conditioned, Belgian-style ales. Three different traditional Belgian yeast strains contribute fruity and spicy aromas which give complexity to this deep golden ale. Medium body and effervescence create a light, dry impression, despite its gravity and smooth, sweet finish. Store at cellar temperature until ready to serve." -- Schlafly
ABV 9% * IBU: 20
Hops: Central European
Malts: American, including Alhambra, IL





Schlafly Tripel....$7.49 / 25oz
Schlafly Tripel has patiently awaited joining the ranks of our bottle-conditioned Belgian-style ale series. It was teh first festival ale for our Hop in the City beer festival which makes it dear to us. Tripel is hearty with a golden hue and rich, fruity character. While this ale is light in color, it is full bodied than many darker ales. These characteristics make it a great after-dinner drink and a perfect complement to aged cheeses and fruity desserts. We age this ale for months before it touches a bottle but, if you have the will power, it will improve for years to come.
ABV: 10% * IBU 45
Hops: Central European
Malts: American




And don't forget their original bottle-conditioned beer
Schlafly Biere de Garde...$7.49 / 25oz
"Schlafly Biere de Garde is a bottle-conditioned, French farmhouse style ale. The name referes to the beer's ability to improve with age and if you choose to age this ale, the tart fruitiness from the yeast and the sweet maltiness from the grains will meld together nicely for several years at cellar temperatures.
Brewed as a modern re-recreation of a classic European beer style to celebrate Saint Louis's French heritage, Schlafly Biere de Garde pairs well with cheese, mussels, bouillabiasse, and roast chicken." -- Schlafly
