New Beer
Heidrun
Heidrun is a goat from Norse mythology that inhabits Valhalla
(Norse heaven), and from its udders springs beer (other reports
have mead- beer works better in our case). This beer is my take
on a Finnish Sahti, which some argue is the oldest continually
fermented beverage. Traditionally, they are brewed with juniper
boughs and rye malt, with other botanicals thrown in here and
there. This beer has rye, oatmeal, juniper, caraway, honey, and
black and white pepper. This beer has a rich malty character
with spicy counterpoints. The hops are very subtle, it rings in at
about 7.3% abv.
Food Pairings: this beer goes well with rich meaty dishes like the ribs.
