And the HOPS(!) trend can kiss my ass.

I have nothing further to add but felt that this needed to be seen more than once in this thread.

Guy down hall went to school with a Schlafly that he says is related to the brewer. Guy is whacked he said. So his Mom, she is that crazy ass [expletive]: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phyllis_Schlafly

Are they the same family or just related?

The owner is the nephew of Phyllis. IIRC, the Schlafly owner is quite liberal.

You recall correctly.

While I generally agree with this sentiment, I do on occasion enjoy a hoppy beer.

There's nothing wrong with hoppy, but if hops bitterness is the only thing going on (as opposed to having other flavors and aromas from the hops as well), then it really isn't representative of any style and is just a bad beer.

Sam Adams Boston Lager really at the upper limit of my hoppy beers. I spent months trying to acquire a taste for hoppy beers and IPA's, and finally just stopped completely. Triple Hop Nest Monster Double IPA Stout Extra Hop! Ahhh .. [expletive] you.

Tom Schlafly is a wacky and liberal guy.

I remember when he was starting the whole thing. Not many people in the STL restaurant industry thought he would see it through.

Guess he proved those 'experts' wrong.
