International Gruit Day is February 1. It’s a day for celebrating both traditional and modern gruit ale. So we organised a gruit ale roundtable with three expert gruit brewers.
– Dr. Markus Fohr is the organiser of International Gruit Day, head of German independent craft brewery Lahnsteiner Brauerei, German Champion of Beer Sommeliers, and specialist in Gruit Beer.
– Stoycho Pampov is the founder of Rhombus Brewery , a Bulgarian craft brewery that loves to experiment and take interest in traditional brewing methods.
– Simonas Gutautas from Dundulis Brewery in Lithuania is an archaeologist who became a brewer. With Dundulis he spends a lot of time researching and brewing traditional beers, including Gruits.
We’ll be chatting about the history of Gruits, their place in modern brewing, and why these brewers are so fascinated with them.
