Description
We are Grainli® - a company focussed on the trade of plant-based ressources like malting barley. Instead of just talking about other beers, we wanted to create our own beer. In cooperation with experienced brewers the brand „Barbarossa I am“ was created. We started with our four beers – 3 of them barrel-aged: Imperial Stout, Porter and Hansebock. Our Gose, while not barrel-aged also incorporates wood into the process via the oak chips it is matured on. Namesake of our beers is Friedrich the I. (nicknamed Barbarossa), who allegedly gave Hamburg the so called „Freibrief“ which enabled the city to trade in beer and grain.

0,3 l bottle. Batch No. 003. Now listed with 5% abv. BB 12/2029. Very pale yellow golden in the glass, small fast fading head. Slightly cloudy. Some fishy elements on the nose, maybe due to the salt. Taste is more on the winery side, some wood, less salt. Smooth pale grain. Thin texture. Easy drinker, didn´t hurt. Can not convince.
