Tallgrass Oktoberfest with Bee Puke

Tallgrass Brewing (Manhattan, KS) will release Honeyfest in cans this fall.  The Tallgrass twist on the brew is the addition of honey, or “bee puke” as they like to refer to it.   Yes, I said bee puke.  Let’s get into that for a second. Bees collect nectar from flowers and store it is a stomach separate from its true stomach. Internal enzymes begin converting the nectar to honey on the way back to the hive. Upon arriving back at the hive, the bees puke up the honey. It’s then finished into honey, or becomes part of the honeycomb. So yeah, be puke – aka honey.

Style: Oktoberfest (w/ honey)
Availability: 16oz cans, Draft
Arrival: Fall, 2012

August: Bell’s Hopsolution, The Oracle, Oktoberfest

The next round of releases from Bell’s Brewing arrive this August with these beauties.

Hopsolution (Draft Only) – Falls roughly into the Double India Pale Ale category, incorporating several modern hop varietals from the Pacific Northwest with classic noble hops from Germany to present a blend of fruity, citrus, and resinous pine aromas. A mild caramel malt character and dry finish provide the counterpoint to these hop notes.

The Oracle – Imperial IPA, 10% ABV.  Our take on the West Coast-style Double India Pale Ale, The Oracle places hop intensity first & foremost, making only the slightest concession to malt & balance. The fireworks start with the aromatic punch of dry-hop sessions with hop varieties from the Pacific Northwest. Resinous, citrusy hop flavors mixed with aggressive bitterness from a massive kettle addition deliver on that aromatic promise.

Oktoberfest – 5.5% ABV.  Crafted as a flavorful session beer, Bell’s Octoberfest Beer is perfect for a week-long wedding celebration in Germany or the start of the Michigan autumn.
