Fans of O’Fallon Brewery‘s seasonal Wheach and other beers should make room on their schedules today or tomorrow – or perhaps both – to sample its new bottled product, Hemp Hop Rye, at tastings in five locations.
For a short time earlier this year, O’Fallon had offered the brew only as a draft at a limited number of area establishments. The favorable response to it, though, spurred the brewery to produce more in bottled form. (An O’Fallon rep also told us it will return to local taps soon.)
O’Fallon describes Hemp Hop Rye as “a smooth amber ale with a nutty flavor in the finish from the toasted hemp seeds.” Today’s tastings will run from 3 to 5 p.m. at Lukas Liquor Super Store in Ellisville, Randall’s Wines and Spirits in South City and Schnucks in Richmond Heights. Tomorrow’s will run from 1 to 3 p.m. at Friar Tuck Wine, Spirits, Beverages in Crestwood and O’Fallon, Mo.
See ya there?
