NOTCH SHIPPED TO YOU!

We ship to 42 states!

We have a stacked line-up ready to ship. Check out our full line up in the bio link, and here are some highlights!

Festbier
Bavarian-style Festbier || 5.5%
Single decocted & naturally carbonated. Big bready malt, spicy hop aromatics, and crackery malt sweetness with a dry finish.

An unfiltered Bavarian pale lager traditionally served with a slight haze direct from the lagering tank.

Lost in the Dream - Helles Rauchbier
Helles Rauchbier || 4.5%
Our Helles Rauchbier has the same recipe as our Helles Lagerbier but the grain bill includes Bamberg rauchmalt (smoked malt). It imparts an aroma of Beechwood rauchmalt along with the classic Helles grapiness.

Save the date! NERAX is back once again bringing you more (imperial) pints of perfectly cellared cask conditioned beer & cider.

Sadly another brewery destroyed in Ukraine by Putin's war.

Тепер це вже офіційно!
Вранці 21.07.2025 р. наша пивоварня припинила своє існування.
Ми пережили три прільота різного ступеня важкості, але цей добив нас остаточно. Зруйнувавши будівлю і пивоварню вщент.
Дві ЦКТ пережили пожежу і в них досі є бродіння. Це знак, або ні)).
Нас питають, чи будемо відновлюватись?
Відповідаємо: Ні, не будемо. Це не реально з точки зору фінансів.
Наш проєкт може буде використовувати потужності інших пивоварень, але це не точно.
Дякуємо всім хто був з нами весь цей час.
Віримо в перемогу і допомагаємо нашим військовим.

Sounds like a great event!

Sounds like a great event!

We are excited to announce our first-ever Annafest here at Schilling! Annafest will take place one week from today on Friday, July 25. This event will run from 12pm-9pm in our Biergarten (open to the public).

Every July, the town of Forchheim, Germany celebrates Annafest—a legendary folk festival known for its exceptional Franconian beers and hearty fare, served straight from the forested beer cellars of Kellerwald in northern Bavaria. We’re thrilled to bring this beloved Franconian tradition to the brewery for the very first time!

What you can expect: A curated selection of German (and specifically, Franconian) inspired lagers on draft and poured “vom Holzfass” (from traditional pitch-lined gravity casks), from open to close. We’ll also enjoy Chef Bryan’s special BBQ pop-up in the Biergarten from 4–7PM.

Below are the beers that we are featuring for Annafest, with full pours and 1L Maß pours available for all options:

• Vorhe (Franconian-style Zwickelbier), on cask.
• Lehrerin (German-style Dortmunder), new release on cask. Collab with
• Schneeberg (Franconian-style Braunbier), on tap in the Biergarten.
• Zünden (German-style Smoked Schwarzbier), on tap in the Biergarten.
• Frtizy (Franconian-style Rotbier), on tap in the Biergarten.

Whether you enjoy classic German lagerbier or just looking to soak up the summer sun with great beer and food along the river, this is a celebration you won’t want to miss. Prost!

So sad to hear that it is the end for Wellspent Brewing Company in St. Louis, MO. I loved that place and always visited it once or twice while I was in town. The great beer, welcoming atmosphere, and the trivia will be missed. 😢
