I picked up a couple of beers recently I had never tried before. One Missouri brewed triple ale and an import from the Sub Continent. Schlafly Tripel Ale, a St. Louis original, caught my eye last week as I browsed the craft beer isle at McAdoodles in Joplin.
Schlafly Tripel Ale: The bottle grabbed my attention and the product info made the sale. Seems like that’s often how it happens with me. The company web site describes the golden-colored brew as ”Hearty with a golden hue and rich, fruity character. While this ale is light in color, it is fuller bodied than many darker ales. These characteristics make it a great after-dinner drink and a perfect complement to aged cheese and fruity desserts.” Seems accurate. Not to get too gourmet, I picked up a steak and cheese sandwich at Quizno’s on the way home and and sat back and enjoyed the 750 ml. bottle.
