241: Tallgrass Ale

Once more I dipped into the four-pack of Tallgrass beers I received from the brewery. Reading a bit more on their website, it seems there’s a reason most of the beers I’ve tried from the brewery don’t neatly fit an established style – some are at least in part based on brewer Jeff Gill’s homebrew recipes, and they reflect that kind of small-scale creativity. Think of Tallgrass as a kind of Dogfish Head of the Great Plains, I guess, but with a more reserved, Midwestern sense of propriety (and economy – cans are way cheaper than bottles!).
