Marion County brewer makes beer to support ALS research
MORGANTOWN, (WBOY) — Short Story Brewing and construction company March-Westing teamed up this May to brew a beer while making a difference for West Virginian ALS patients. Together, March-Westin Project Manager Steve Raymond and Short Story Head Brewer Cody Higinbotham came up with the idea for 'Topped Off,' a double dry-hopped IPA using Citra and Galaxy hops that comes in at 6.5% ABV. 'When [March-Westin] came to us, man, we knew we wanted to do it,' Higinbotham said. 'Me and Steve, we've known each other for a while, and once he got a hold of me it was lights out, we knew we were gonna do it.' March-Westin's owner, Phil Wesser, is one of about 30,000 ALS patients living in the United States. Also known as Lou Gehrig's disease, Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) affects a body's nerve cells, particularly in the brain and spine, and causes muscles to weaken over time and can even lead to paralysis, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Every pour or can sale of the Topped Off IPA will go toward the West Virginia chapter of the ALS Association, which provides assistance to ALS patients in the state. EXCLUSIVE: An up close look at the Green Bank Telescope 'Not only is it a great cause for raising funds for ALS, but it's also a really good tasting beer,' Raymond said. ' [We're] super proud about how it turned out, Short Story did a phenomenal job in brewing it with us, and, at the end of the day, it's certainly worth a try to support a local cause, and you're supporting a local business.' Right now, Topped Off can be found at all four Short Story Brewing locations, and a small number of cans are still available in the Westover Taphouse near Morgantown. You can also donate to the ALS Association directly here. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed.

Restaurant Road Trip: Short Story Brewing in Westover
WESTOVER, (WBOY) — Last summer, Westover welcomed a new place down by the river. Short Story Brewing is on the bank of the Monongahela River, offering craft beers, cocktails, burgers and good times. 'Our beer is really focused on high-quality and consistency,' owner Abby Kopishke told 12 News. 'That was really my husband's passion when he first started the brewery.' Kopishke, her husband, and her brother started the original Short Story in Rivesville out of a passion for craft beer. The name comes from Kopishke's brother's love of writing and storytelling. Kopishke's brother and her husband would visit different breweries, telling stories. Eventually, they thought that would be a good name for a business. Restaurant Road Trip: The Aquarium Lounge Short Story has 11 taps and also offers cocktails, if beer is not quite your thing. Short Story offers more than drinks, though. A restaurant called 'The Burger Place' inside Short Story in Westover has offers like the 'Round Up Burger', which has house made barbecue sauce, cheddar cheese, grilled onion, and jalapeño slices. Furthermore, the brewery itself has a 'let the good times roll' vibe, especially with its outdoor space. It might be snowed under now, but it's easy to imagine a summer day by the river with friends, food and drinks that would be hard to beat. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
