4th Tap Suneater (Sorghum Ale).....6.5

A true son of Texas, this gruit is made with all native Texas ingredients. 

What's a gruit? Glad you asked: Gruit (alternately grut or gruyt) is an old-fashioned herb mixture used for bittering and flavoring beer, popular before the extensive use of hops. Gruit or grut ale may also refer to the beverage produced using gruit. 

Sitting on a base of sorghum cane juice and dark brown sugar, Sun Eater is bittered with rosemary and infused with dried lemon peel. It is highly-attenuated for a dry and refreshing finish similar to that of a cider or champagne. This gruit was designed to beat back that Tyrant Sun of hot Texas weather.

As far as gluten-free beers go, this is in a league of it's own. For now, we will have it on draft, but I look forward to adding to our package program as availability grows.
