I don’t think I’ve seen a shot of this online yet, so here you go:

Dave from O’Fallon let’s me know they’re kicking off the re-release of Goat’s Breath with an event that almost sounds like it requires a Toga:

Join us this Thursday, January 10th from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. at Rumple’s Pub (221 North Main Street in St. Charles) for the OFFICIAL kick-off of our re-introduction of Goat’s Breath Bock. Enjoy great beer and food, visit with the brewers and meet our mascot, “Cooter,” the goat! (For real!)

If you haven’t tried it, Goat’s Breath Bock is a malty clean beer that you almost wouldn’t expect is an ale. So not only do you get a chance to try it, but you get to hang with Cooter the Goat. Sounds like a hell of a time.

This “non-conformist Bock ale” is now available if you look hard enough (though I hear it’s at the Bogey Hills Dierbergs and The Wine & Cheese Place.) I’ll let O’Fallon brewer Dave Johnson describe it:

It is a non-traditional bock brewed with our house Kolsch yeast and fermented cold.It’s brewed with 8 different malts and 2 hops. It’s a deep ruby red with a big malt aroma and flavor.

I had a chance to try it today (right from the bright tank) and that’s a pretty spot on description. It’s got a lovely malt character that’s well balanced with the hops. Not too sweet, with a very clean finish. Here are some pictures for your enjoyment.
