Schlafly Beer, St Louis, introduces a new Special Release beer, Merry Berry Ale. Inspired by the sweet flavors of a French pastry, the deep red Merry Berry Ale (6.0%, 15 IBUs) features blackberry, raspberry and blueberry with undertones of lemon and vanilla. Merry Berry Ale will be released starting on Monday, Oct. 22 across Schlafly’s distribution through the remainder of the year. Retail: $9.99 for a six-pack.
Available at the height of holiday baking season, Merry Berry Ale offers a refreshing alternative to dark winter warmers, says Founding Brewer Stephen Hale. “We wanted to brew a bright and tart alternative to other beers that are traditionally higher ABV and super spice-forward this time of year. This is the beer for your aunt who doesn’t think she likes craft beer. It’s an easy drinking beer, perfect to pair with your favorite dessert.”
