Schlafly Heads to the Big Apple

Schlafly is branching out--the St. Louis craft brewer's beers will make their debut in New York City starting May 13, Evan S. Benn reports for Esquire.

"Outside of a small distribution footprint in the D.C. area, New York is the first place to get Schlafly beers beyond a 300-mile radius of St. Louis," according to the report. "For Schlafly co-founder Dan Kopman, this will be his second foray into selling beer in New York. He tried it back in the '80s, when he was a stateside salesman for Young's Brewery in London. It didn't go well. He got lost on the subway and had beer equipment stolen from his rental car."

Find out which Schlafly styles Benn recommends to first-timers on Esquire.
