ST. LUKE’S VERSE ~ BEAU’S

St. Luke’s Verse is a GRUIT, a beer made with out hops.  Gruit (or grut or gruyt) are a herb mixture used to add bitterness or flavour to beer before the widespread use of hops, or when hops were prohibitively priced.  Lavender, thyme and rosemary were used in this brew.  St. Luke’s Verse is what young would women would recite to see their true loves revealed in their dreams.  Not for everyone but I really enjoyed this.  The label is beautiful too!
