Commercial Description:
A smoked wit, you say? Yup. Researching smoked beers led me to a world of smoked wheat beers, particularly a smoked wheat beer popular in Poland about 100 years ago. (I’ll list that one as one of the Blind Bat beers when I’m happy with the test batches and am ready to offer it to the public.) I didn’t find anything about smoked wit beers, but decided to experiment a bit (a wit is a wheat beer). I like it, and hope you will too. Pictured on the label is Long Island’s old Walt Whitman, enjoying a smoke and a book in what is purported to be his favorite spot in his native West Hills. Long Island’s springtime is awakening all around him.

Holy Un-Wit Bat Man! This is a really wild wit because it doesn’t give you that usual wit spice/orange peel flavor. The brewer smokes 20% of the wheat grain personally over mequite wood. It makes for a smoky, thirst quenching, wonderful experience. A little smoke in the nose, and equal parts wheat and sweet smoke on the tongue. Unfortunately at the moment, this beer is about as easy to find as as a four leaf clover. But keep rooting around in the grass till you find it. It’s gonna revise your idea about what a Wit can do. They had one bottle at the North Fork Craft Beer Fest’s bottle shop and the woman manning the table was nice enough to open it for me. I had seconds, and later on thirds. Cheers! BB
