From livestock feed and ethanol to latex paint and diapers, there are more than 4,200 uses for the 2 billion-plus bushels of corn Illinois farmers produce every year. Also on that list of uses? Beer.
To celebrate the diversity of Illinois agriculture and to raise awareness around the advantage Illinois Farm Bureau provides to its members, IFB partnered with the Normal-based craft brewery DESTIHL to create Roots Lager.
Roots Lager, a Munich Helles-style lager brewed with corn grown on the farm of a Knox County Farm Bureau member, is a toast to the Illinois family farmers who feed our communities and protect our environment. Every pour boasts a radiant golden hue, delicate malt sweetness and subtle hop presence, delivering a gentle floral aroma and a smooth, crisp finish.
This year-round release beer is available for purchase in Illinois. For more information visit destihl.com/find-our-beers.
