The wait is over: O’Fallon Pumpkin Beer is back. Urban Chestnut Brewing Company recently acquired O’Fallon Brewery’s fan-favorite recipes – including the wildly popular pumpkin amber ales. Starting this month, fans can find O’Fallon Pumpkin Beer and Vanilla Pumpkin Beer in 12-ounce bottle packs and kegs at retail, on tap at UCBC’s Midtown Biergarten and Grove Bierhall locations, and at restaurants and bars where UCBC products are featured.
UCBC announced it secured O’Fallon’s popular recipes earlier this year while enhancing its physical locations and expanding its distribution and brewing infrastructure. These strategic moves enabled UCBC to ramp up production to brew, bottle and distribute O’Fallon Pumpkin and Vanilla Pumpkin just in time for fall.
“It’s a fresh start for these iconic beers, and a great seasonal addition to our award-winning lineup,” said Brian Travers, chairman of UCBC. “With our expanded capabilities, we’re excited to offer these flavorful, high-quality O’Fallon beers – starting with Pumpkin and Vanilla Pumpkin – to more customers through our strong and growing distribution network.”
O’Fallon Pumpkin Beer is like pumpkin pie in a bottle. Real pumpkin is added to the three-barley mash, and the finished beer is seasoned with cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves and bottled at 5.6% ABV. With Pumpkin Beer as its foundation, Vanilla Pumpkin Beer goes a step further. Rich and sweet Madagascar vanilla is added to the finished beer for a flavor profile of pumpkin pie topped with vanilla ice cream.
UCBC not only brewed the distinctive O’Fallon Pumpkin and Vanilla Pumpkin Beer recipes fans have known for decades, but packaged them using the same iconic orange jack-o-lantern graphics and O’Fallon Brewery branding from the past.
“The Pumpkin Beer revival is a great example of the fun we’re having innovating and defining what it means to be a leading American brewery,” said Travers. “We’re doing things differently with new experiences for customers and expanded offerings for distributors and retailers, and there’s a lot more ahead.”
