I’m particularly fond of heather ales and spruce beers. The only sahti (which has juniper) I’ve had was made by me, so I have no idea if I got it traditionally right, but I certainly enjoyed it. No disrespect to all you IPA lovers out there, but the hops-forward style isn’t my thing, so for those of you that are in the same camp, where do you like to turn?

    Gruit is mix of herbs used before hops. Each maker had slightly different recipe, so yeah it is little bit catch it all category.

    Do you had real absinthe with dripping waterp? The fake stuff with burning sugar cube is disgusting.

    It was long time ago he tried it but what I heard it was so bitter that only one of his friends liked it other people couldn’t even swallow it.

      I don’t think I’ve ever had it with any sort of sugar, or with water for that matter. My experiences with it have been when friends show up with a bottle of it

        I can’t sleep so I was looking for photos of how to serve it right but then I remembered about this video. I highly recommend finding place like this and try it.
