Commercial Description:
We love this beer here at the brewery, and think you will have one of those “I’ve never-tasted-a-beer-like-that” kind of moments when you try it!
What we really like about this beer is the smoothness that brewing with cream sugar brings to the palate. This smoothness balances out the copious quantities of roasted barley used in the brewing process to create a rich, complex, and delicious beer. If you have not been a stout drinker in the past, give this beer a try. It might just change your mind about how dark beers should taste. It tastes so rich, but is surprisingly easy to drink!

Why I selected Buffalo Sweat:
I had the extreme pleasure of visiting Tallgrass in the middle of November. While the drive was long from Kansas City, it was like reaching a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow. Tallgrass produces all cans and this is one their best. Buffalo Sweat is the stout you want to have in the can. In it’s own right, the stout is malty and sweet, and it’s light enough to enjoy year round.

In this particular photo, I enjoyed a 4 pack (shared among family of course) of Buffalo Sweat with my family and friends over Thanksgiving dinner. I suggest you make friends with someone in the midwest and make a trade for any of their beers, especially this beer, as it will keep you warm this holiday season.

About brewery:
The decision to found Tallgrass Brewing Company was made by Jeff Gill and his wife Tricia on April 8, 2006. Tricia had asked Jeff THAT question: “What do you want to do with the rest of your life?” Jeff had been thinking about that exact question quite a bit. “I want to start a microbrewery!” Jeff answered. He had been an avid homebrewer for six years and loved to brew beer that people enjoyed. At that point, he and Tricia made a commitment to start a new microbrewery in Kansas.
