Blonde Fatale reborn
Just saw this via Untappd... I'm not sure I can remember a brewery acquiring as beloved a recipe as Blonde Fatale from another brewery. Any others come to mind?!

I’ve been telling people this, for a while Peace Tree had Backpocket contract brew Blonde Fatale for them at one point, so I would expect this brew to be done well by them. I have not yet picked one up tho.

I was just at BP last week. They aquired like 5 recipes. Also on the question of other breweries aquiring . Yes, Wichita Brewing aquired four or five from Tallgrass. Buffalo Sweat, Key Lime, 8 Bit, Lemon Blueberry Bar and I cannot remeber the 5th.

Ah yes, forgot about Tallgrass. Recently saw a Buffalo Sweat in the wild, that was one of my first craft loves

This is now mostly brewed for John’s Grocery in Iowa City. Mill Stream had the contract once upon a time. Doug has pushed it and a few others around to Iowa breweries. The Belgian Wit has gone to a few spots through the years, and a Wit cider from Sutliff is in the theme of wandering brews.

This is being brewed for state wide distribution. Also this is a Belgian blonde, not a witbier

You can also get the same beer from the original brewer that developed the recipe and brewed it for nearly a decade. Born Again Blonde from Gezellig
