Vanilla Bean Blond is one of the tastiest local brews made in the greater Omaha area. Glengarry's take on this very simple to make beer is the addition of real Madagascar Vanilla Beans. The addition of those Vanilla Beans does however increase the overall price of making said beer as Vanilla Beans are going at $3 a piece and this brew needs 3. No Matter, We believe in quality and will stop at nothing to make it the best beer you've ever tasted. Below is the Grain Bill, adjuncts, hops, and infusion process listings for Vanilla Bean Blonde.
