PHYTOS, SWADE cannabis and O’Fallon brewery partner to launch THC-infused craft beer
With mindful drinking and alcohol alternatives on the rise, St Louis – based O’Fallon Brewery and SWADE cannabis is proud to announce the launch of a non-alcoholic, cannabis-infused brew, MOHI, that invites consumers to craft their own experience.
In 2019, we started discussions with BeLeaf about the opportunity to create a unique beverage that contained cannabis, commented Jim Gorczyca, President of O’Fallon Brewery. “While just 1% of cannabis is consumed through beverages, only a fraction of that is beer because most cannabis beverages are sodas or seltzers. Only BeLeaf and very few others are taking the time to brew hand-crafted beer, remove the alcohol and then infuse it with THC. It’s not easy but it’s worth it.” 
MOHI is a non-alcoholic cannabis-infused option – featuring small-batch brewing techniques, craft beer taste, and only 80 calories. Each 12 oz can contains 5 mg of emulsified THC.
“We determined that consumers who like craft beer would also want similar options for non-alcohol beer” says Brian Owens, Head Brewmaster for O’Fallon Brewery. “The O’Fallon process is truly unique – we start with a traditional beer recipe which goes through full fermentation and then we gently remove the alcohol in vacuum under strict temperature controls. We end up with great NA beer that tastes as close to real beer as you can get.”
“Mohi uses natural flavors which give it a refreshing orange citrus and vanilla flavor and contains nano emulsified THC, BeLeaf CSO Stephanie Cernicek says, “this means that the onset occurs quickly and stronger than its traditional counterpart, usually within the first 15 minutes, and gives the patient full control of their experience.”
“We have seen the immediate embrace of THC-infused beverages, and the growing buzz around alcohol alternatives in society as a whole, so we knew the demand for new and better adult beverage options was exploding beyond the cannabis world and O’Fallon Brewery was the perfect place to start.” said BeLeaf Medical CMO Mitch Meyers. “We think the brand will be a favorite and we know that patients are looking for new ways to consume cannabis.”
MOHI will be available beginning August 20th at all SWADE cannabis locations for Missouri medical card patients. For more information, visit our website at www.swadecannabis.com.
