It’s time, it’s time!  It’s time to drink some Oak Aged Dry Hopped Smoked Rye Pale Ale brewed by the guys at Schlafly, O’Fallon Brewery and New Albanian Brewery.

This beer will be on tap at the Schlafly Tap Room starting tomorrow. For those of you that don’t remember, make sure to visit see the photos from this crazy brew session.

If you haven’t seen it, be sure to check out some early tasting notes from our good friends at Hoosier Beer Geeks.  Each brewery gets only a certain alotment of beer, so I’m sure this won’t last long.

Well, I don’t think anyone from Schlafly, O’Fallon Brewery or New Albanian Brewery expected this beer to take as long to brew as it did, but it’s done. The first collaborative effort from these three breweries is now in the tank ready to start fermenting.

Here are some quick notes about the beer:

• 3 O’Fallon Brewers
  • Stu Burkemper
  • Dave Johnson
