Like it's competitor, Boulevard Brewing, 240 miles to the west in Kansas City, St. Louis' Schlafly brewing is expanding its operations to meet the growing demand for craft brews. The addition of some new 200 barrel tanks to its primary facility has caused Schafly to hit capacity in that building, so they are in talks with other brewers, including Stevens Point Brewing in Wisconsin to have them handle some of their brewing needs.
And it's not just Schlafly's that's teaming up with Stevens Point Brewing. O'Fallon Brewery, also in the St. Louis Metro area, has teamed up with Stevens Point brewing.
Just an unintended consequence of the InBev take over. Lot of very good brewers looking for work. I expect another 10 start-ups in St Louis this year.
