Interesting Facts
Grenader Brewery, Braggot Ginger Bee is an unfiltered, unpasteurized beer-style drink in the Braggot style. Braggot is a hybrid drink, a mixture of beer and mead. Braggot has a long history, having been a popular drink in Europe, mainly in the post-Renaissance period, and was quite popular in regions such as Wales until the 19th century. Its name has Irish and Welsh roots meaning "to sprout", referring to the grain portion of this mead.
The main difference between a braggot and a mead is that a braggot features both honey and beer (i.e. malt, hops and/or yeast) that complement each other, although not necessarily present in equal amounts. The honey can be of different types. Ginger Bee braggot uses flower honey, as well as "that" additional ingredient. Guess what it is? Ginger, of course!
