Love Buffalo Sweat? Drink Tallgrass King Buffalo

Tallgrass King Buffalo Imperial Stout can

Tallgrass King Buffalo has kicked off the Manhattan, Kansas based brewery’s new year – a big imperial stout.

The brewery is most well known for Buffalo Sweat, an oatmeal cream stout. Now the “king” of buffalos, has joined the brewery’s Explorer Series. Tallgrass King Buffalo is an 10.5% alcohol by volume imperial stout, with intense coffee and chocolate flavors.

Big Stout. Small Can.

Don’t let this little 12 ounce can fool you. What is inside is big and bold. If you love Buffalo Sweat (as much as we do), you have a home here. Scratch the milk sugar for brown sugar, and up the flavor of coffee and chocolate. King Buffalo drinks like a meal. The brewery said it best – “One Buffalo to Rule Them All.”

Kicking off the 2017 Explorer Series is King Buffalo, a 10.5% imperial stout. Sitting on a throne of dark roasted grains, King Buffalo is loaded with the same intense coffee and chocolate notes of our original Buffalo Sweat, but it’s deeper, darker, richer and more complex.

Tallgrass King Buffalo is now our packs of 12 ounce cans, from January until March, 2017.

So many brewers have told Beer Street Journal of their love for the Idaho 7 hop. Then we got up close and personal with the hops at Crosby Farms. Damn. Just… damn. For drinkers, the Idaho 7’s existence was a lesson that Idaho not only grows hops, but some pretty damn good ones.

Spotlight: Tallgrass Bourbon Barrel Aged Vanilla Bean Buffalo Sweat

Tallgrass Barrel Aged Vanilla Bean Buffalo Sweat

Tallgrass Bourbon Barrel Aged Vanilla Bean Buffalo Sweat is a part of the brewery’s Explorer Series. It might be our favorite in the bunch. You’ll hate us for this, but it’s not in season right now.

The Manhattan, Kansas brewery has taken their oatmeal cream stout Buffalo Sweat, and created variants, including Bourbon Barrel Aged Buffalo Sweat, and is sexy can, Vanilla Bean Buffalo Sweat. That cream stout is enhanced by cinnamon, bourbon (from the barrel-aging, and of course – vanilla beans.

While this is a seasonal that comes out at the end of the year, (and well – it’s June now), do yourself a favor and keep an eye out for Buffalo Sweat, Bourbon Barrel Aged Buffalo Sweat, and this vanilla edition. It’s dessert in a can. Great by itself, or with ice cream. Or pizza. You chose.
