    Along with being a craft beer lover I am also a big tea afficianado. Jasmine tea has great floral/earthy notes that would go right along with many styles of ales. I have had a few beers that attempted to combine beer with jasmine tea, but none really seemed to shine. I am looking for ideas, what are some beers that you like with Jasmine tea brewed into it?

    There are a few tea infused beers though the names escape me at the moment. I do recall I liked the ones I've tried.

    If any brewery wants to make a jasmine oolong saison or something of the like, I'm all over it.

    Not jasmine tea, but you should check out the Bruery's Girl Grey. Not my usual cup-of-tea (sorry, I had to) but it was actually enjoyable.

    I have not had a beer with jasmine tea brewed into it, but some people have tried those that are available. Here's a link to a search that I did of the BA beer database that use the word jasmine in the beer's name:
    https://www.beeradvocate.com/search/?q=Jasmine&qt=beer

    Maybe some are available to you, and maybe the ratings of any of those beers will give you guidance about whether any are a 'good' beer, but you're on your own for those decisions. :slight_smile:

    Oh yah,
    Actually, I wanted to try this one, but it was too hard to find it available in my area. Really ashame because Elysian most likely would bring it home nicely. Did you like that one?

    I am going to have to try that. Early Grey is my favorite tea

    I found it at a deli in Philly maybe 4 years ago. I did see it at a few places in the area (also in NJ) at the time, but can't say I've seen it since. Bought a bomber of it and wish I would've grabbed a couple more. I gravitate towards unusual herbal flavorings and that one hit the mark.

    If I wanted something that tasted like Jasmine tea why wouldn't i just drink jasmine tea?

    My first reaction to tea in beer was to think about the Kvass style "beer" I tried that tasted like weak sweet tea, and not at all like beer. But - done right, a real beer with tea could be good. Hell, lots of beers have coffee, so why not? Earl Grey Stout? Morning Thunder Porter? As far as Jasmine Beer, I'd try it - I like Jasmine rice.

    Not brewed with jasmine, but a more recent bottle released by De Garde called "The Botanique" sounds right up your alley. It's a spontaneous wild ale aged in oak gin barrels with lavender. :heart_eyes:

    Not jasmine tea, but this is a damn good Tea Beer


    HOPFENTEA
    A wave of tropical fruit and spice brighten this lively, tart wheat ale, taking the German Berliner Weisse tradition on an island run. Hopfentea, steeped on a house-made tea blend of mango, papaya, hibiscus & lemongrass, pairs well with light appetizers, salads and high humidity.

    Well, long before the sell out, Elysian made a Jasmine IPA that I did not care for.
