26 W. Industrial Dr. O’Fallon, MO 63366 | 636-474-2337
Founded in 2000, the O’Fallon Brewery produced and sold 6,000 barrels in
2011 and expects continued growth in 2012. O’Fallon brews five everyday
beers: O’Fallon 5-Day IPA, O’Fallon Wheach, O’Fallon Hemp Hop Rye, O’Fallon
Smoked Porter (2004 GABF® Gold Medal in the smoked beer category) and
O’Fallon Gold. O’Fallon is also known for its seasonal beers, including O’Fallon
Pumpkin, O’Fallon Cherry Chocolate and O’Fallon Black Hemp.
Belgian Dark Strong - We brewed this Belgian dark ale (ABV: 10%,
SRM: 20, IBU: 42) in July, 2010 and transferred it several weeks later into freshly
drained Port barrels from Mount Pleasant Winery (Augusta, MO). For the next 11
months the beer worked in and out of the French oak barrels as the temperature in
the brewery fluctuated with the seasons. In June, 2011 we bottled the beer and put it
aside to allow the flavors of the wood and the beer to marry and mellow. The result is
spicy-sweet with hints of raisin and caramel that mingle with the dark fruit notes and
oak from the barrels.
5 Day IPA: (6.1% ABV, 66 IBUs) We “dry-hop” this American Style India Pale Ale by
adding hops so the beer rests on top of the hops for five extra days! Brewed with
seven grains and three domestic hop variet- ies. Malty sweetness up front with big
cascade hop in the finish -- a wonderfully drinkable IPA! Winner of Riverfront Times
2008 Best Beer in St. Louis.
Wheac: (5.1% ABV, 7 IBUs) Try this smooth, clean wheat beer with a touch of peach.
O’Fallon Wheach is refreshing, crisp and wonderully drinkable. Winner of Riverfront
Times 2007 Best Beer in St. Louis.
Hemp Hop Ry: (5.5% ABV, 25 IBUs) This smooth amber ale uses toasted hemp seed
to create a nutty flavor in the finish that compliments the rye and hops (a botanical
cousin to hemp). The wide assortment of fla- vors harmonize, creating a
uniquely smooth and flavorful beer!
Kite Tail - O’Fallon Kite Tail: (4.5% ABV, IBU’s: 10.4) Light-bodied and refresh- ing
this beer is based on the Cream Ale style...an origi- nal 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. Available in April.

3028 Village Park Drive, Plover, WI 54467 | 715-254-2163
Established 2007. O’so Brewing has completed our expansion into a new
facility in Plover, Exit 153, just off I-39 and Hwy. B. We hope to finish 2012 at
5000 bbls, so we are still relatively small, but we are producing more of our
fun beers in larger quantities, playing with wood aging and sours. We also
added the O’so Tap house with 40 rotating Wisconsin beers on tap, connected
to the brewery, and still connected to our home brew shop, Point Brew Supply.
We are hoping to build not only our brand, but “Wisconsin Craft Beer” as a
brand. Stop by our booth and enjoy a plethora of fun things we have been
playing with this year. Cheers!
Hop Whoopin: 6.9% ABV, 1.066 OG / 16.5 P, 95 IBU’s. Hop Whoopin delivers up
freakish goodness in a lopsided hop bomb. Don’t ask the IBU’s, try the IBU’s (95
professionally analyzed @ White Labs). Smell the mixed bouquet of citrus and pine
before unleashing the bitter terror. Your tongue will never forgive you!
O-toberfest: 6.4% ABV, 1.066 OG / 16.5 P, 20 IBU’s. This O-toberfest is a malty late
summer / early fall classic beer. This beer has been brewed as a true lager and will have
a BIG presence in Door County for the year end festivals, again, this season!
Dank: 7.8% ABV, 1.086 OG / 21.5 P, 52 IBU’s. Massive Imperial Red ale fermented on
brandied oak with Scottish ale yeast. The huge additions of West Coast hops give this
beast balance; served best in a snifter on a cold winter’s night.
Dominator Dopplebock: 8.2% ABV, 1.090 OG / 22.5 P, 47 IBU’s. Huge malty
Doppelbock dubbed the ‘Hoppelbock’ because of its strong noble hop finish.
BamRique: 5.4 % ABV, 1.062 OG / 15.5 P, 26 IBU’s. Part of our “one off” series of
beers, this Bamburg style lager was made with beech wood smoked German malts.
Enjoy the subtle smoky sweetness with a clean finish.
Lupulin Maximus: 8.9 % ABV, 1.086 OG / 21.5 P, 74 IBU’s. The second you open this
bottle there is no mistaking that this is not your average IIPA. Massive hop additions
of the most obnoxious breeds put this taste bud burner in a league all its own. Our
bet is that you will think it is O’so Freakishly good!
3rd Wheel: 5.4 % ABV, 1.052 OG / 13.3 P, 17 IBU’s. Crisp clean Belgian Blonde brewed with
Rose Hips and aged with French and American Oak. Very easy drinking beer.
Spikes: 9.4 % ABV, 1.082 / 20.5 P, 32 IBU’s. No water is harmed during the making of
this beer. Maple sap from Northern Wisconsin is used in place of water. This clean
crisp sipper is made with vienne, wheat, and loads of 2-row malt and is aged on our
own toasted Maple chips. Serve with your pancakes!
Bretten Rusty Red: 5.4 % ABV, 1.055 OG / 13.8 P, 28 IBU’s. We solera’d aged
our Rusty Red in a used brandy barrel that once housed our Brett Dank, which was
inoculated with a Brettanomyces blended culture. Expect a pleasant sourness and
complex aromas as you expolore our wild side.
Lemongrass Wit: 5.1 % ABV, 1.050 OG / 12.5 P, 16 IBU’s. A summer Witbier, 50 %
wheat, brewed with fresh Lemongrass and fermented with a unique strain of Belgian
yeast. Steve Paulik, our longtime employee brought us a bottle of this that he brewed
at home, and we liked it so much that we thought we would share it with everyone as
one of our “one off” series of beers and he agreed.
Cru De Gras: 8.7 % ABV, 1.086 OG / 21.5 P, 35 IBU’s. The O’so version of a Belgian
Grand Cru fermented with Acouffe yeast and grains of paradise, deep gold with a long
spicy finish from the vienne, munich, and biscuit its brewed with.
