SESSION BRAGGOT W/PASSION FRUIT, COCONUT AND VANILLA
Together with Danish brewery Tiny Hill, specialists in modern meads, we created a fresh and unconventional braggot for Winter Affair Gossip – a hybrid between beer and mead. Honey, passion fruit, coconut and vanilla come together in a flavourful, sparkling experience with a tropical twist.
For the third year in a row, we’re hosting our international tasting festival Winter Affair, and just as long we’ve been brewing collaboration beers with some of the participating breweries. It’s a uniqueopportunity to get to know each other better, share insights, and combine our brewing know-how. Beers brewed as part of the Winter Affair Gossip series are the result of these meetings – blending brewing cultures, unique recipes and a shared love for craft across borders and continents. With Danish brewery Tiny Hill, known for their focus on modern meads, we explored a style you rarely see around here – braggot, a hybrid between beer and mead. The result is a beer with lower alcohol content, but full flavour and a proper level of carbonation. The base is quality honey, bringing gentle sweetness, floral notes and a smooth, rounded body. Passion fruit adds juicy acidity, coconut brings soft tropical creaminess, and vanilla ties it all together into a dessert-like yet refreshing experience.

Tap at Brūstok 2026, with Gurthnar of course! Dull hazy pale yellow body, off-white head. Some kind of citrus-flavored tea and light honey in the aroma. Smooth taste, vanilla cookies or custard, citric, bit tropical... whoa. An odd sweet pastry drink that somehow works!

Tap at Brustok 2026. Thin bod, med-low carbo. Not much in terms of honey character, not much beeriness either. An interesting hybrid which combines the strengths of neither parents. Too sweet, too sour, light honey, med fruit. Meh.
