You loved it in the taproom this summer. In fact, you loved it so much that our bartenders won’t stop reminding us how much you still ask about it.
We’ve heard your cries, Minnesota, and we’re answering them. Not only is the Peanut Butter Honey Blonde coming back, we’re giving it a name and putting it in cans.
We give to you….
Contains Bees: Peanut Butter Honey Blonde
This beloved blonde ale is light and just-sweet-enough. Specialty malts offer notes of honey, which we followed up with loads of real honey from Minnesota’s own Fieldstone Apiaries. A healthy dose of peanut butter brings a mouthful of flavor that’s reminiscent of a lunchbox during your field trip to the Science Museum.
What’s with the name?
Contains Bees is a follow up to our Peanut Butter Milk Stout, which we dubbed Contains Nuts. The names are a play on big and bold warning labels—and a firm reminder that you’re about to get a mouth full of peanut butter. Yes, we’re aware that peanuts are actually a legume. Yes, we’re sure you’re a lot of fun at parties. No, there are no bees in this beer.
Beer Description
Tastes better than an open-faced peanut butter sandwich on Wonder Bread. Bright honey flavors provided by the real bees of Minnesota's own Fieldstone Apiaries. 5.2% ABV // 14 IBUS
How do I drink it?
Join us in the taproom on Leap Day—February 29—to get the first sips. If you love bees as much as we do, we’ll be donating $1 for all pints sold the day before the release to Pollinate MN.
We’ll release cans into the metro area and beyond in the first week of March—follow along here for updates or ask for us at your local watering hole. Contains Bees will also be available at select bars and restaurants.
