Brewed with Bananas and raisins..


Bananatana is brewed with a unique blend of bananas and golden sultana raisins.




Drie Horne Bananatana....$9.99 / 750ml
While the thought of fruit in beer seems sacrilege to some real ale drinkers, brewer Sjef Groothuis has worked wonders with fresh fruit in his unique beers. He uses everything from bilberries to birch sap in his diverse collection of ales, and his focus is on natural ingredients and preserving traditional, diverse, flavors. Rest assured that his are not "fruit beers." They are beers that are brewed with fruit, which is a distinct difference; you'll find no syrups here. These beers are enhanced by the subtle aromas and textures of fruit with out the sugary sweetness found in other commercial drinks that claim to have a place in the beer world.

The Bananatana was commissioned by Bierlijn Nederland (www.bierlijn.com) because "There are simply not enough beers fermented with real fruit." And who better to brew a new one than Sjef? Bananatana is brewed with a unique blend of bananas and golden sultana raisins. Nothing artificial. Simply beer and fruit.
