We are getting excited for the upcoming Canvitational event happening next month. The lineup is very impressive again this year with Canvitational the only place you can get many of these beers due to their distribution. We wanted to get to know each of the participating breweries a little bit better. So, we've sent out a six pack questionnaire to each of them and we wanted to share them with you.
Tallgrass Brewing Company was founded in 2007 and has been canning their beers exclusively since 2010. Their offerings include six year round beers and several rotating seasonal beers. Look for them and the following beers at the event:
8 Bit (a personal favorite)- Highly hopped American Pale Ale
Zombie Monkey – Autumn seasonal porter
Ethos – A dry hopped IPA
First in our series is Garrett Paulman, head brewer at Tallgrass Brewing in Manhattan, Kansas.
1. What music is usually playing on the brew deck?
Depends on the brewer, it ranges anywhere from Marilyn Manson to James Taylor, and an unusual amount of James Blunt.
2. What's your brewing mission? What are you trying to accomplish with your beer?
To brew consistently remarkable beers. We want to bring groups of people, friend and foe alike, together over a tasty beverage.
3. How many beards can be found in the brewery on any given day?
True beards, one. The rest of us are simply posers.
4. Which beers outside of your own do you enjoy? What beer do you wish you came up with? Why?
Anderson Valley’s Summer Solstice, Empyrean Dark Side Vanilla Porter, Lagunitas IPA, really anything Lagunitas they seem to know what they’re doing.
