Alexis Zotos

For more than three decades, Schlafly Beer has been synonymous with St. Louis craft brewing. In this episode, Alexis Zotos sits down with the brewery's CEO, David Schlafly to talk about how the city’s first new brewery since Prohibition continues to innovate while staying true to its roots.

We dive into Schlafly’s much-anticipated Full Moon Festival at Bottleworks in Maplewood, a celebration of great beer, live music, and mouthwatering food (yes, there’s a whole hog roast involved). David also gives us a behind-the-scenes look at what’s on tap for the season, plus the upcoming debut of a new low-ABV line.

From the early days of craft beer in St. Louis to what’s next for Schlafly, this episode is a perfect pour of history, community, and innovation, all with that unmistakable hometown flavor.
