(O’Fallon, MO) – The winning entry in the O’Fallon Name the Beer Contest has been revealed.
Paul Hayden over at The Wine and Cheese Place, where the contest was originally held, broke the news this morning. The winner is O’ Fallon Sticke it to the Man, a fitting name for this Sticke Alt (pronounced “Shtick-uh ullt”). For more on this German style, check out the write-up by the German Beer Institute.
Per Brewmaster, Brian Owens, via TWCP: “Our version will be an Imperial version of the original. Coming in at 10% ABV, this beer will be big and malty with hints of toffee and a subtle roastiness, but will be fully attenuated and relatively dry for being such a big beer. The hops that are used are of the German noble variety giving a healthy bitterness and a noble Pils hop aroma.”
Hayden wrote that if this name was chosen that “5% of the proceeds will be used to set up a Small Brewers Fund. It will help the Little Guy get a leg up on large (BMC) breweries in the local markets. Just in time for Independence Day.”
Watch for this one to be released by early September.
