Hop In The City returns in a haze!
A real, honest to-god-beer-festival is set to return to St. Louis and it should be a hoppy, hazy affair. Schlafly’s Hop in the City, is back as âLilâ HOP in The Cityâ with a few lilâ changes this year.
âLilâ HOP in The Cityâ
The event will take place at the historic Schlafly Tap Room (2100 Locust St, St. Louis, MO 63103) on September 18, 2021 from noon-5 p.m. This yearâs âLilâ HOP in the Cityâ will look a âlilâ different, offering a slightly different take from years past to accommodate Covid-19 safety. No tickets are required to attend this event, and there will be exclusive festival beer, food trucks, live music and year-round beer styles for purchase.
No Tickets NeededÂ
This year, entry is free and attendees will purchase their preferred beers in individual servings of Schlaflyâs 14 beer styles, including three exclusive HOP in the City festival beers. In years past, the ticketed event provided guestsâ access to tasting samples of more than 40 beer styles on-site.

âItâs been 18 months since weâve welcomed guests to our brewpubs for any of Schlaflyâs popular beer festivals,â says CEO of Schlafly Beer Fran Caradonna. âAlthough this yearâs HOP in the City will be slightly different, weâre eager to welcome new friends and community members. For the first time, some of St. Louisâ favorite food trucks will be on-site and weâre thrilled to invite people back to the Tap Room to enjoy great beer, music, food and fun outdoors.â
