A Salted Pretzel Gose

What’s it called?
Maria’s Pretzel Gose

Where did the inspiration come from?
We’ve been baking pretzels fresh daily at the brewery cellar door since we opened. They make the perfect snack to accompany beer they surely make they perfect addition to a classic beer style. Yeah?

What’s the weirdest ingredient you’ve ever added to a beer?
Mushrooms? Rhubarb juice? Green Tea? Most of my soul?

GABS drinking preference – tasting paddles or a full glass?
Full glass, have a chat with other brewers peddling their wares.
