Detta är en ekologisk ljus ale gjord på grannens kravodlade korn.
Grannen Ale har relativt hög efterbeska samtidigt som den är lite fruktig- en god törstsläckare!
Ölen kom till som en ”gräsklipparöl”- det var en varm sommardag och bryggaren var törstig efter en dust med gräsklipparen och vad passar då bättre än lite beska och lite fruktighet, i en och samma brygd!
Det har sedermera visat sig att den fungerar alldeles utmärkt till mat och då lite fetare mat, och gärna soppor. Ett annat alternativ är lättare mat utan sötma; såsom sill o sallader.
En särdeles god kombination som vi har upptäckt är Grannen Ale samman med lagrade ostar från Sivan, förslagsvis en 27 månaders lagrad Billingeost. Om man avser att ta en snaps är det en utmärkt öl därtill!
Namnet är härlett ur arbetsnamnet ”grannens öl” – kornet är odlat och vissa partier även mältat nästgårds. Hos en hårt arbetande granne som ni förstår!
En viktig del i vårt lokala kretslopp, där vi använder grannens korn för att brygga öl, och där den använda malten, draven, återgår till grannen som växtnäring för framtida skördar.

Bottle bought @ Systembolaget Vara and consumed on October 11. Pours hazy yellow with a fluffy white head that leaves lots of trace on the glass when dissipating. Smell is malty with hay and some barnlike notes. Taste is rather sweet and a bit watery. there’s herbs and spices combined with a light rather pleasant bitterness. Finish is slightly sweet and slightly bitter. Quite good and drinkable but nothing to exciting. Reminds me of a light saison...

Small sample@QMM. Yellowish golden colour with small white head. Aroma is citrus fruits, some honey as well as mild notes of grass and some herbs. Flavour is quite similar along with bready malts and some slight wooden notes as well. Quite pleasant and bodied Golden Ale.
