The Brewery: Craft fans are cuckoo for White Rooster Farmhouse Brewery — the Illinois-based crew is rocking an even higher Untappd rating than Allagash and Jester King, for Pete’s sake!

• Today, you can skip driving through long stretches of cornfield-flanked roadways to get a taste of White Rooster’s Farmhouse expertise.

The Beer: No brew from White Rooster gets more attention than their Top Rated Beer on Untappd, Elliptic Saison. It bursts with a juicy tartness that’s more refreshing than a glass of peach-lemonade on an August afternoon. Aging for seven months in oak foeders imparts a nuanced complexity placing Elliptic on par with the finest of table wines. 

• Whip out a bottle of Elliptic at dinner and the high-brow brew will quickly shift the evening from casual-dining-with-friends to an elegant affair.

The Chase: Even if you did drive all the way to White Rooster’s small-town taproom in Illinois, there’s a strong chance you won’t find a single bottle of Elliptic there!

• That’s because Tavour is one of the only places you can get your hands on today’s beer — score this tasty, tart pour now so you can make a strong impression at dinner tomorrow.

*This year’s batch of Elliptic is Blend #2 and was bottled in Spring 2019
