Birra ETRU SCA Bronze 25.4fl oz

Dogfish Head worked with our Birreria Brother Brewers (birra del Borgo and Baladin) and biomolecular archeologist Dr. Patrick McGovern to create this Ancient Ale. We made a research pilgrimage together to early Etruscan warrior tombs in the hills and along the coast of Tuscany. The 8th c. B.C. recipe is based on chemical and botanical evidence of tree resins; beeswax and honey; whole pomegranates; hazelnuts; grapes; and apples found inside ancient jars and drinking-bowls. It represents the prehistoric mixed beverage of italy before the arrival of wine. Our version is fermented with bronze, a popular material in brewing and cooking in the Etruscan ere.
