Taras Boulba is the perfect session beer — loaded with complex yeast flavors, hopped to perfection, and as drinkable as any beer you’ve ever tried.

You’re no doubt wondering where the name comes from.  What we can understand is that a young Flemish man has gone and married a French-speaking Wallonian girl, and his father, Taras Boulba, is very angry. (Smeirlap means ‘fool’ in a local dialect, which combines Flemish and French.)

This is all a bastardization of the original story by Gogol, whose protagonist was Ukrainian and Eastern Orthodox. His son marries a Polish girl, a Roman Catholic, during the religious war between the two countries in the 1600s, and the Ukrainian father simply kills his son to eliminate the shame.
