The creative minds behind Orchids at the Palm Court and Blank Slate Brewing Company have teamed up to create a series of collaborative beers to be served in the acclaimed restaurant, Orchids at Palm Court and The Bar at Palm Court located in the Hilton Cincinnati Netherland Plaza Hotel. The series will consist of four beers created to accompany the season in which they are served and to incorporate culinary influences pertinent to that time of year. Additionally, the naming of the beers will be themed to the life cycle of the orchid flower itself, following the progression of the plant from its spring birth through its winter hibernation.

The second beer, Orchids Flourish, is a German-style Altbier brewed with agave nectar and finger limes. "The beer has a light maltiness to it, but also a fruit sweetness from the addition of agave nectar," Scott LaFollette, owner of Blank Slate Brewing Company, said in a press release. "There’s a big hit of lime in the nose that combines with the agave to give a nuanced flavor akin to a tequila/lime cocktail. It’s not a traditional summer beer, but sometimes you just have to buck tradition."
