Production & Heritage

O'Fallon Brewery operates a 15-barrel brewhouse in Maryland Heights, Missouri, where each seasonal release is brewed in relatively small batches with an emphasis on real ingredients over extracts. Their pumpkin varieties, among the brewery's most recognized seasonals, incorporate 274 pounds of actual pumpkin into a three-barley mash — a labor-intensive process that adds hours to the lautering stage but delivers an authentic flavor foundation. Other seasonal releases like Wheach, a peach wheat beer, follow the same philosophy of using whole, natural ingredients to drive the flavor profile rather than artificial additives.

Tasting Notes

Because this is a rotating seasonal pack, flavor profiles shift throughout the year. Below are general notes based on O'Fallon's most frequently released seasonal varieties.

Aroma: Depending on the release, expect anything from fresh peach and wheat-grain sweetness (Wheach) to warm baking spices — cinnamon, nutmeg, and clove — layered over roasted pumpkin (Vanilla Pumpkin, Original Pumpkin). Each variety leads with its signature ingredient on the nose.

Taste: The pumpkin releases deliver a malt-forward entry with genuine pumpkin sweetness at mid-palate, followed by balanced spice that evokes pumpkin pie without becoming cloying. Wheach opens with crisp wheat and transitions into clean, ripe peach. The Pumpkin Cheesecake variant layers sweet and tangy cream cheese notes over hints of graham cracker crust.

Finish: Most O'Fallon seasonals finish clean and moderate in length, letting the featured ingredient linger rather than heavy malt or hop bitterness. The pumpkin varieties close with gentle spice warmth, while fruit-forward releases like Wheach end dry and refreshing.

How to Drink O'Fallon Seasonal

Serve chilled in a pint glass or tulip to let aromatic ingredients open up; most seasonal varieties drink best between 40–48°F. These beers are designed as standalone sippers, but they also work in beer-forward mixed drinks: try a pumpkin variety in a Beer Shandy with fresh apple cider for an autumn twist; use Wheach in a Radler blended with lemonade for a summer refresher; or float a pumpkin release in a Pumpkin Beer Flip with egg, simple syrup, and nutmeg for a rich dessert-style cocktail.

Why O'Fallon Seasonal?

What separates O'Fallon's seasonal program from the crowded field of rotating craft releases is the brewery's insistence on using real ingredients at scale — not extracts, not flavorings, but hundreds of pounds of actual fruit or pumpkin per batch. That commitment earned the brewery a Great American Beer Festival Gold Medal in 2004 and continues to define every seasonal release. The rotating format means there is always something new to try, but the brewing philosophy remains consistent: bold, clean flavors grounded in quality ingredients from a 15-barrel Missouri brewhouse that still operates with a hands-on, small-batch mentality.
