Fire In the Beehive

First things first: what on earth is a Braggot? It’s a hybrid between mead and beer. The honey wine was then transferred to bourbon barrels, giving it time to build up layers of character and depth. After about six months, we started brewing the second part of this hybrid. We chose a German classic beer style: Rauchbier. Perfect to balance out the mead’s sweetness. We combined the mead and Rauchbier in a 60/40 ratio; Rauch to mead. Finally, we added smoked chilies to round it all off. We went with Pasilla: rich, deep, and smoky and the all-time classic Chipotle;a bit fruitier but still full of smoke. A bold mix of sweet, smoky, and spicy flavours. Rich, big, and unapologetically daring.
