Pretty sure they had it at Hop in the City. And I think they'll occasionally have it on tap at the Tap Room.
Asked the bartender a couple of nights ago and he said they haven't had it at the Tap Room since the summer but they make a batch sporadically.
I'm totally stuck on the Christmas Ale and fish and chips.

I just asked about this, and it's right in the name. You see the same mass-produced bottled stuff at Bottleworks that you do at Schnuck's, because that's what they do there. So you've got the Tap Room where they have a bunch of limited release or exclusive stuff on tap, and the Bottleworks where they brew and bottle wide releases. I don't see why they couldn't bring some stuff over to BW, but there you go.
I didn't follow up about the food, but I remember hearing about a new chef at the Tap Room a few years ago, which leads me to think that they have a lot of autonomy at each location and should take the better one and put that chef in charge of both stores.
93rd best burger in America according to this stupid list.
93) Tap Room Burger, Schafly Tap Room, St. Louis, Mo.
Sitting in a sprawling, fully refurbished turn of the century printing building, Schlafly's name implies the star of the show here is beer — of which there is plenty — but the real menu gem is the ground sirloin tap room burger, featuring burger slaw, white Cheddar, and an English muffin bun. Burger adventurers can also go with the equally delicious Mediterranean-style lamb burger with feta and cucumber sauce, served on a ciabatta bun.
I had a burger at the Schlafly tap room and the burger was kind of gross to be honest. They put too much weird crap on it. I'd put it behind Steak N' Shake and Culvers by a mile.

After I learned that my brother wrote copy for Fodor's guides and had never been to the places he wrote about, I look at those lists as made-up b.s. written by poorly paid word-serfs in their fluorescent-lit basements.

You are incorrect. It's a delicious and juicy burger. All they put on it is burger slaw and it works.

No doubt that many of these are paid for and written by the place themselves. It's like those "Leading Lawyers" magazines. Anyone can be a leading lawyer if they pay for it.
The pub burger I had at Bottleworks was great. A lunch special. At the time it wasnt a regular item on the menu, which is in keeping with the theme of the rant part of this thread.

Yeah slaw - I remember now. I had to pick that [expletive] off but there were still slaw molecules left on the burger. I could taste it. I don't want any green [expletive] on my hamburger. They should warn you when they put that crap on there. The bun was weird too.
If you want a good burger after the game head down Eat-Rite and get a real hamburger. No [expletive] n' slaw on those. Just grease.
