Ted Manahan, one of the Craft Beer & Brewing Magazine® blind-tasting panel judges, enjoys the challenge and adventure of making gruit ales, with low or no hops. This recipe stays close to the historical interpretation: dark brown, sweet, smoky, with a noticeable herbal flavor—a tasty Scottish holiday beer.
