O'Fallon Sticke it to the Man Sticke Alt....$9.49 / 4pk
"Name the O'Fallon Beer" Contest Beer is here. This is the beer that O'Fallon brewery allowed The Wine and Cheese Place customers to name the beer. We held a contest with O'Fallon to name this beer back in April of 2010. The winner was Craig B. of New Haven, Missouri for the name Sticke it to the Man.
Brian Owens' description the O'Fallon Sticke---
"So here’s the skinny on the Sticke! As you probably know the word “Sticke” is a mangled version of the “low german” word “stickum” which translates to “secret”. The secret lies in the recipe where only a small few knew what actually went into the beer. German brew masters of the day measured their ingredients by the bucketful and if they weren’t paying attention or maybe they had a bit too much beer to drink they sometimes added too much grain. They had to add more hops to balance the maltiness of the extra grains and ended up with a bigger and typically darker version of their Alt. 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. There is a short list of people who will actually know the recipe and I think the winner of the contest ought to be one of those few."

The label's graphics could be German steampunk. A futuristic-for-the-1800s reimagining of a Fraktur typeface. A close view of a power plant's gears, baroquely engraved with alchemical, floral, and pinnate figures, spitting electricity through their filigreed teeth. The very sort of power plant a Modern Prometheus of the era might keep in a secret laboratory, to bring life to a creation larger and more powerful than nature intended.
