Gruit Ales are Coming Soon!

Gruit is the German word for herb. Gruit ales are ancient ales made with healing herbs, instead of hops. Hops are estrogenic and sedative. Before the beer purity law in the 1500's, ales used to be healthy food beverages made according to what ails you.

People in the Middle Ages used to drink beer all day long. I truly doubt it was because of bad water. They had to use that "bad water" to make their beer too. Medieval people knew how to souce clean drinking water and they knew how to filter it.

Beer used to be more medicinal. People in the Middle Ages made Gruit Ales that gave them strength. Why limit beer to only one herb? When there are thousands of healing herbs that were put on this earth? The benefits of herbs are increased with fermentation. 

Maybe a Gruit Ale will help with what ails you. Taste and enjoy your medicine. Let's bring back the traditional nourishing ways of our ancestors.

Cheers!
