Schlafly Beer’s free celebration of all things fall returns to Schlafly Bottleworks (7260 Southwest Ave. at Manchester, Maplewood, MO 63143) on Saturday, October 27 with the Full Moon Festival. From 4 p.m. to 10 p.m., the community comes together to enjoy live, local music, fall seasonal Schlafly beers, a pig roast, six big bonfires and more–all under the fall Hunter’s Moon.
For the third year, Schlafly will host the Chef Chili Cook-Off at the event, pitting acclaimed St. Louis chefs against one another to showcase their signature chili recipes. This year, one lucky St. Louis amateur cook will have the chance to compete against the featured chefs of Haley Riley from Salt + Smoke, Rick Lewis from Grace Meat + Three, Matt Wynn from Good Fortune and reigning champion, Dale Beauchamp of the upcoming Gringo. At the event, guests purchase a ticket for $8 and receive samples of all five chili recipes as well as a ticket to cast a ballot for their favorite. The chef with the most tickets at the close of the festival will be named the winner. 
Schlafly will offer seasonal beers available for purchase on the Bottleworks parking lot such as: White Lager, Pumpkin Ale, Hard Apple Cider, Pilsner, Coffee Stout and more. For the food, the Schlafly culinary team will be roasting eight whole hogs sourced from the local farm Alpacas of Troy. Guests can purchase a Pig Platter ($12) with pulled pork sandwich and two sides such as braised greens, mac and cheese, and coleslaw. Guests can also purchase individual pulled pork sandwiches ($7) or sides ($4). Personal housemade pumpkin pies ($5) will be available alongside tastings of Schlafly’s pumpkin pie in a glass, Pumpkin Ale.
Live music from local bands will include: The Dust Covers, Cara Louise Band and John Henry.
