Happy Hour 8: Schlafly Love

Beer Genome Podcast Happy Hour Artwork 300x300 Happy Hour 8: Schlafly Love

This episode is an oldie, but a goodie. My friend Jason (one of the many here at The Beer Genome Project) and I got together to primarily try out Schlafly’s Pumpkin Ale, and decided to throw on a few other beers that we haven’t yet had a chance to try.  Unfortunately Schlafly is not a brewery that we have access to here in Iowa, and it might take another road trip to Missouri before I can taste another. Additionally, Jason and I tried the Grand Cru from Schlafly as well as the Oak Aged Yeti Imperial Stout from Great Divide Brewing Company. Buckle in folks, this Happy Hour episode is true to its name in length. Cheers!

Saint Louis Brewery – Schlafly Grand Cru Style: Belgian Strong Pale Ale ABV: 9.00%

Saint Louis Brewery – Schlafly Pumpkin Ale Style: Pumpkin Ale ABV: 8.00%

Great Divide Brewing Company – Oak Aged Yeti Imperial Stout Style: Russian Imperial Stout ABV: 9.50%

    Mike and Jason: you two were curious how well the three pumpkin ales (Pumking from Southern Tier, Schlafly’s Pumpkin ale and DogFish Head’s Punkin) compared to one another.

    Having the great fortune of trying all three this season, in short succession, I must agree with Jason that DFH Punkin is an imperial brown ale with pumpkin flavor notes. However, the Schlafly and the Pumking are very similar, ringing in at 8% and 9% respectively. Considering they are higher gravity than most other examples of the style, these are two of the three “imperial” pumpkin ales I’ve ever seen. The other is Shipyard Brewing Company’s Pugsley’s Signature Smashed Pumpkin. I’ll have to hang on to that bomber. Furthermore, if the ST Pumking is still available in Wisconsin, I will get over the border, so you both can try it.
