Is a Schafly Brewpub Coming to Chicago? St. Louis Post Dispatch Beer Columnist Evan Benn held a live-chat<\/a> with Schlafly CEO and co-founder Dan Kopman on Friday.<\/p>\n

The nearly hour-and-a-half conversation covered a lot of ground including the early stages of the St. Louis brewery’s sour program, the expansion of its canned offerings and the possibility of opening up a brewpub in Chicago.<\/p>\n

That’s right: A Schlafly brewpub right here in the Windy City.<\/p>\n

“We are exploring the possbility [sic] of opening a small brewhouse, pub and store in Chciago [sic]. We are not close to making this a reality but it is a way in which we believe we could introduce Schlafly Beer to Chicago. We will keep you posted,” said Kopman.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Currently you can’t find Schlafly’s beers in Chicago, but you can just about everywhere around it including ALL of downstate IL and northwest Indiana.<\/p>\n

In fact, you can see here in Schlafly’s distribution map that there beer pretty much stops at I-80.<\/p>\n

And before you even ask, we did reach out to Schlafly to take part in our South of 80<\/a> event during Chicago Craft Beer Week without success.<\/p>\n

Schlafly is not the first brewery to explore opening a brewpub in Chicago. Three Floyds flirted with the idea earlier this year and Lagunitas is opening a brewery and taproom in Chicago next year. Still, just the fact that they’re talking openly about the possibility of a Schalfly brewpub coming to Chicago has us hoping that we’ll get our hands on their beer sometime in the future — without a trip to St. Louis.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
