Speaking of bootlegging beer from out of state, I found bottles of Schlafly beer at Eagle Provisions here in Park Slope, Brooklyn, NY. For those who don’t know, Schlafly is a brewery in St. Louis (my hometown) who only distributes regionally in the midwest. I once heard founder Tom Schlafly speak at my alma-mater (Webster University) and said that they purposefully limit the scope of distribution and didn’t plan to be a national craft brewery, although it looks like Eagle Provisions was able to smuggle a few bottles across state lines.
Eagle is a neighborhood grocer here in Brooklyn, and can claim they have beer bottles from all 50 US states, so for now Schlafly is their only inclusion from Missouri…
