O’Fallon Brewery reveals its Stash

It’s the class nobody is ever late for! Beer School is back in session at Barley’s Brewhaus.

O’Fallon Brewery‘s Stu Berkemper stops at the Overland Park location tonight at 6 p.m. to talk about the history of the Missouri brewery and lead a tasting of O’Fallon’s brews. Tickets are $8; call 913-663-4099 to reserve a seat.

Berkemper will also be tapping a keg of Wee Heavy Scottish Ale for the tasting — it’s the first release in O’Fallon’s new seasonal Brewer’s Stash series. The company is making good use of its upgraded license: It can now release brews with up to 22 percent ABV. The Wee Heavy clocks in at 10.4 percent alcohol by volume.   

“The Wee Heavy is chewy, sweet and malty — that comes from the

cherrywood-smoked malt we used. It’s definitely a sipping beer, but the

alcohol is not hot,” says head brewer Brian Owens.
