Off Color Brewing Class War....$7.99 / 4pk 8.5oz bottles
Gotlansdricka** style ale brewed with honey, juniper berries and persimmon wood smoke malt.
9.5% ABV
**Gotlansdricka (in modern Gutnish drikke or drikko, and drikku) is a traditional homebrewed alcoholic beverage made on the island of Gotland, Sweden. It is a kind of ale, closely related to the Finnish sahti, with a smoky, bitter-sweet, spicy (juniper) flavor. It is similar to gruit.
It is similar to an everyday drink used during the Viking Age in most Nordic countries. The tradition of brewing drikke has survived on Gotland, a process that was originally carried out exclusively by women.
Difficult to produce for commercial distribution, it has become a cultural marker for Gotlanders. An annual drikke brewing world championship is held in Gotland each autumn -- Wikipedia
