Schlafly Beer, by far the largest independent craft brewery based in the city of St. Louis in Missouri, is inviting customers to step forward and have a taste of the 'Dark Mild,' a beer that manages to achieve a spectacular combination of nuttiness that people have come to expect in brown ales along with a surprisingly low ABV (alcohol by volume) that makes it more than ideal for wintry sipping sessions.
The 'Dark Mild' is a delectable brown ale that comes in at 3.8% ABV, and adopts a British style that hasn't always been in fashion in the U.S., although that could change once customers have a taste of this delicious brew.
David Schlafly, the CEO of the brewery, stated that the 'Dark Mild' beer is currently being offered as part of the special 'Hello Darkness' pack, which manages to curate the best byproducts of the company's considerable brewing and taproom enjoyment teams. "With a market crowded with stouts and porters, we invite consumers to learn about different darker beer styles this winter," he stated.
