O'Fallon Brewery - O'Fallon is looking to score a medal in the Pro-Am category.  Last year they scored a Silver medal with their Alright Already Amber. This year they are entering Nectar IPA. From their Facebook page:

Sweet Nectar IPA is a hop bomb. The recipe was designed to let the hops shine as much as possible. We utilized a hop-bursting technique where all of the bitterness is derived from late kettle hop additions to bring forth a smoother bitterness and a ridiculous amount of hop flavor and aroma. We used more hops in this... batch, 3.5 lbs per barrel to be exact, than have ever been stuffed into our kettle and fermenters. Don't let the name fool you though. This is a very dry IPA with just enough crystal malt to accent the malt character and not overpower the hops. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do. Homebrewer Jim Leabig's beer caught the attention of Brian Owens who proposed a collaboration for the 2010 Great American Beer Festival Pro-Am competition being held this September in Denver, CO.
