The World's First Beer Made From Mustard

Oskar Blues French's Mustard Beer thethreedrinker.com the three drinkers

Say what?! Oskar Blues Brewery has decided to create a limited-release beer, created from French’s Classic Yellow Mustard. No, I’m not having you on. Earlier this year we saw Aunt Bessie’s try their hand at a Sunday Roast Brown ale made from Yorkshire puddings and roast potatoes, so it would seem the oddities really are just beginning.

This special brew was created ahead of ‘National Mustard Day’ (yes, it would seem there really is a day for everything now, apart from a National Aidy Day… one can only dream). 

For those living in the UK I have good news and bad news. To get your hands on the ready-made stuff, you have to be in the USA and it currently goes for $19.99 per six-pack. BUT, they have also released the recipe, so those further afield can brew it up for themselves in their garage.

But what does it taste like? Tangy lemon and lime apparently with tropical undertones. They tried to bring out the staple notes people associated with the mustard itself in this wheat beer. The company has been around for over 115 years and has created a bunch of innovative products over the years including their mustard ice cream last year which went down a treat.

So, there you go, if you want to venture into the unknown , grab a pack or make your own. Personally, I think it would work rather well with a hot dog….
