JORGE: AbV: 4.0, O.G.: 1.040, IBU’s: 10. Jorge is a light American golden ale spiced with
the flavor and aroma of fresh Jalapeño pepper. The juice of the fresh jalapenos,
blended with other fresh ingredients, provides a balance of flavor with just a touch of
heat. Ingredients are blended into the ale late in the process to ensure the freshest
flavor profile. This beer is a summer beer brewed between June and August.
RYE BOB: AbV: 4.5, O.G.: 1.045, IBU’s: 28. Bob is brewed as a tribute to the Brew Master’s
father Robert Duchow and has become our flagship beer at Sweet Mullets Brewing
Company. Bob is made with 43% Weyermann Rye Malt. The rye character is expressed
in this beer in rye flavor and a unique viscosity in the mouth feel. It is pleasant, well
balanced and a pub favorite.
501 AMERICAN RED ALE: AbV: 5.5, O.G.: 1.055, IBU’s: 39. 501 was included as a “BEST
BEER 2012” in the beer issue of Milwaukee Magazine (July, 2012). This beer is made
with a combination of American and Belgian Malts and a blend of hops providing an
expressive hop flavor and aroma, yet well balanced with malt sweetness.
WILD HOP BUCKWHEAT: AbV: 5.7, O.G.: 1.058, IBU’s: 40. Buckwheat is brewed with 10%
buckwheat groats giving it a unique nutty/ earthy sweetness balanced with Wisconsin
grown hops from the Brew Master’s hop farm. Buckwheat was named “Best of Show”
Isthmus Beer and Cheese Festival 2012. It’s logo pays tribute to our favorite “Our
Gang” character, also named Buckwheat.
Tallgrass Brewing Co. | 106
Brewmaster: Jeff Gill

8845 Quail Lane Manhattan, KS 6650 | 785.537.1131
Established 2007. 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?” “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. After the decision was
made, the next 12 months were a flurry of activity: Jeff juggled a full-time job
while trying to gain as much experience in the craft beer business as possible,
and Tricia gave him her full support along the way. They chose Manhattan ,
Kan. , for the location of the brewery, and chose Tallgrass for the name. They
had always wanted to settle in this area to raise their family and live near
the scenic Flint Hills and Tallgrass Prairie surrounding Manhattan . It just so
happened that the water near Manhattan is an excellent choice for brewing
beer, too!
8-Bit Pale Ale: ABV – 5.2%, OG – 1.052, IBU – 35. Malts: 2- Row, Victory, Vienna, &
Munich. Hops: Magnum, Centennial, Cascade & Galaxy. Just like those classic video
games we all grew up with, 8-BIT Pale Ale is simple at first glance yet, fun and
complex when you get into it. Our Hop Rocket infuses the character of Galaxy Hops
from Australia into an American Pale Ale, giving a unique tropical, almost melon
aroma in a classic American Style.
Area 51 IPA: (ABV 6.9%, IBU – 111). Citrus, Dank, Very aromatic well balanced yet
aggressive IPA with copious amounts of Hops . Malts – Pale, Crystal 40 & Caramunich.
Hops – Centennial, Amarillo, Columbus & Cascade
Funky Sweat: So its Buffalo Sweat that has been aged on Brett for 5 months and
also Pedio and lacto. Before adding the Brett Hood took oak cubes and soaked them
in Elijah Craig 12. It was on the oak the whole time it aged.. In the nose it had a faint
aroma of the Bretty horse blanket, but it really pushes through with the vanilla from
the oak. There is a small tartness from the lacto and pedio, but really took the beer and
let the chocolate come out in massive quantities. Its super tasty and really chocolaty.
Halcyon: ABV 5.0%, 20 IBU. Unfiltered Wheat. Formerly a summer seasonal, now a
perennial favorite.
Buffalo Sweat: ABV – 5.0%, OG – 1.057, IBU – 20. Malts: Victory, Vienna, Black Malt 2
Row, Roasted Barley & Oats. Hops: Perle, Glacier & Willamette. This cream stout tastes
like liquid chocolate chip cookies made with expresso. We are not kidding. It’s a weird
name,but you won’t forget it or the taste of this beer Buffalo Sweat is a very tasty stout.
Oasis: ABV – 7.2%, OG - 1.072, IBU – 93. Malts: Pale, Crystal, Caramunich. Hops:
Columbus, Cascade & Northern Brewer. Slammed with hops, this beer is supported
with a surprisingly sturdy malt backbone. Dry-hopping adds that extra fresh hop
character to this double ESB/IPAish beer, meant to be enjoyed with fellow hophead
brothers and sisters.
Velvet Rooster: ABV – 8.5%, OG – 1.08, IBU – 40. Malts: Pilsner, Light Munich. Hops:
German Tradition, East Kent Golding, Northern Brewer. This Belgian Tripel lives up to its
name. Smooth and carefully crafted like a fine velvet painting, but with an 8.5% ABV this
bird has some spurs! This beer has a wonderful floral nose and a sweetness like candy.
