🍺 Wild Ginger Elixir

Style: Spice, Herb, or Vegetable Beer

Bright, zesty, and unmistakably wild – “Wild Ginger Elixir” is a refreshingly tart, spice-forward beer brewed with raw ginger root and fresh lime. Fermented with wild yeast sourced straight from the ginger itself, this low-bitterness, low-ABV herb and spice beer carries a natural rustic funk and invigorating citrus snap. It's a farmhouse-inspired refresher perfect for warm days and adventurous palates.
