Schlafly Gin Barrel Sour Gruit

Once considered a forbidden aphrodisiac, gruit-style brewing gave way to decidedly less seductive methods in the 15th and 16th century. Perhaps it has something to do with the botanicals and herbs that form the foundation of the beer (in lieu of traditional hops). Its conspicuous absence caught the attention of our IBEX brew masters who have done more than resurrect this refreshingly ancient process. Proposing a tasteful renovation, the Gin Barrel Sour Gruit comes to you with tart, spice and almost mythological strength. One sip and you’ll appreciate the art of fruition.
