O’Fallon Imperial Pumpkin is a new approach to our well-known Pumpkin spirit. We created an entirely new recipe and chose to brew a Wheatwine, a style similar to Barleywines in that they are big and malty, with rich, toasty malt and subtle toffee flavors. The difference is that the base malt for Wheatwine is wheat instead of barley, which adds a creamy depth and mouth feel to the beer. We also kept the hops subdued to focus on the spices…cinnamon, clove, nutmeg, and Madagascar Vanilla. Coming at 10% ABV and 50 IBU’s, this Brewer’s Stash Imperial Pumpkin will taste even closer to a slice of Pumpkin Pie than our original Pumpkin Beer, but be careful — the strength of the beer is hidden in its smooth and creamy flavor.
(Seasonal: May - August) Try our new refreshingly light and crisp Strawberry Best! We start with an American Wheat style recipe that’s a perfect compliment for fruit. We add real strawberry puree to the secondary fermentation, which gives the beer a naturally subtle strawberry flavor and aroma with a slight tartness. Light in color and soft in bitterness this beer is designed specifically to be enjoyed during the hot summer months.
This was a great ipa. I really liked the flavor because it was really well balanced it had a nice fruity flavor and aroma as well. The malt really balanced the hops pretty well, and made it so you could really taste the malt while still getting the bitterness from the hops. The fruit was subtle enough that I couldn’t pick up specific fruits, but I was able to pick up the fruity sweetness.
(Seasonal: August - October) Like pumpkin pie in a bottle...we add 136 pounds of real pumpkin to the three-barley mash and then season the finished beer with cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves.
We dry-hop this American Style India Pale Ale with seven grains and four domestic hop varieties by adding dry whole hops to the finishing tank so the beer rests “on top” of the hops for five extra days! Malty sweetness up front with big cascade and glacier hops in the finish — a wonderfully drinkable IPA!
Light-bodied and refreshing, this beer is based on the Cream Ale style… an original American beer modeled after the light lagers of its time. A subtle tartness adds to the crisp finish of the beer and makes for a great summer quencher.
