Brewery Profile

Schlafly Bottleworks

In the St. Louis beer scene, this is a stop with unusual historical weight: Schlafly Bottleworks is part of the brewery described as St. Louis’ original craft brewery, and it has remained independent and local in Missouri for more than three decades. A visitor walking in should expect an active brewpub rather than a production-only facility or a simple tasting counter. The Bottleworks location in Maplewood is one of two public-facing Schlafly operations, paired with the Schlafly Tap Room in Downtown St. Louis. Its role is not just to serve beer, but to represent a brewery that helped define the city’s modern craft beer movement from an early stage.

Travelers exploring beer in this region often look for breadth: not only one signature pour, but a sense of how a local brewery handles different styles over time. Schlafly’s portfolio is large by that measure, with more than 70 distinct styles produced annually and distributed across the region. Without assuming what will be on tap on a particular day, the appeal for visitors is the chance to encounter a rotating selection from a long-running local producer with deep roots in Missouri. For someone building a St. Louis beer itinerary, Bottleworks fits best as a broad sampling stop, especially if the goal is to compare established local craft brewing with newer breweries around the metro area.

For planning purposes, it helps to know that Schlafly operates both the Bottleworks facility in Maplewood and the Tap Room in Downtown St. Louis, and both function as active brewpubs. Visitors choosing between them may want to base the decision on where they will be spending the day, since the two sites serve different parts of the area. The facilities also accommodate private events and parties, so it is sensible to check ahead if visiting with a group or hoping for a specific date. Because daily availability can change across a brewery that produces many styles each year, the taproom is the place to confirm the day’s pours before ordering.

Schlafly Bottleworks, established as St. Louis' original craft brewery, has operated independently and locally in Missouri for over three decades. The brewery maintains a robust portfolio, producing more than 70 distinct styles of beer annually, distributed across the region. Operations are split between the Schlafly Bottleworks facility in Maplewood and the Schlafly Tap Room located in Downtown St. Louis, both functioning as active brewpubs. Beyond regular service, the facilities accommodate private events and parties. The brewery is recognized for its foundational role in defining the local craft beer movement since its inception.
