Schlafly Beer is known as the original St. Louis beer.



"As the founder of the craft movement in the backyard of the world's largest brewer, we began hand-brewing authentic beers in 1991 and continue the commitment today as the original locally-owned independent craft brewery in Missouri."



The Taproom was just a few blocks away, so my coworkers and I made our way over for dinner.



But first, beer. I started with a sampler of some of their beers: sour, cider, boomerang, hefeweizen, and white lager. I enjoyed all of these, actually. But the cider and sour were my favorites.



 For my main meal, I struggled to choose just one thing. So, I ordered the fries as an appetizer that came with spicy ketchup, green peppercorn, truffle aioli. I, as predicated, fell in love with the truffle aioli.



And I decided on the Jagerschnitzel ~ crisp pork loin cutlet, rich mushroom-bacon sauce, mashed potatoes. This gigantic portion could have lasted me a few days. But the flavors were all there - the rich mushroom sauce, paired with the crisp pork loin and some creamy potatoes. Delish.
