A Note on This Beer

Today’s beer is only the second IPA we’ve been able to get our hands on from Big Grove Brewery. Which, in the words of everyone’s favorite fictional newscaster, is KIND OF A BIG DEAL. Here’s why:

  • They snagged the highly competitive Gold Medal in the Juicy/Hazy Pale Ale category at last year’s U.S. Open Beer Championships!


  • The Beer Travel Guide AND Culture Trip both declare them one of the best breweries in Iowa!


  • Outside of Tavour, their brews don’t cross state lines. Heck, they rarely make it beyond the city limits. 


So, get ready, because this might be the only chance outside of the Hawkeye State to stock up on today’s Strata-hopped Colorado Smuggler. This lush Hazy bursts with flavors of passionfruit, raspberry, lemon, and tangerine, all woven through wafts of kushy cannabis. 

It’s the kind of juice I imagine Willie Nelson drinks, complete with a humming 7.2% ABV. Though, unless Mr. Nelson knows someone on Tavour, even he would have to go to Iowa to find this hoppy gem.

*Big Grove’s IPA mastery isn't the only reason they’re cool! Their hyper-focus on local sustainability earned them the prestigious Platinum-level Certification from the Iowa Green Brewery program.

Holiday shopping is easy with Tavour! Just head over to Tavour.com/gifts to send a gift box or gift card to the craft beer lover in your life. Cheers to holiday beers!

I enjoyed this one. It wasn’t badly proved for 2 cans either. Definitely a decent NEIPA

You can feel the alcohol. Lot of hop aroma, mildly bitter, not very complex.
