Grodziskie 3.5%
 

In collaboration with Vox & Hops Alumni and metalhead content creator, Thrashed, we’ve brewed this Grodziskie, an oak smoked wheat ale that gets its name from the Polish town of Grodzisk Wielkopolski. The Grodziskie is a beer we don’t see often. Despite being hugely popular in the 18th and 19th centuries, the style fell into obsolescence in the early 1990s, until its revival just a few years ago. Pale and light bodied with notes of crackery malt and peppery floral hops, and at only 3.5% ABV, the sip is refreshing with a clean, dry finish.
