Gruthaus
If you ask a beer fan what the main ingredients of their favorite drink are, they will definitely list water, malt, yeast and hops in this or another order. That is correct, but it was not always the case.
The herbal past of our beer
Although it's hard to imagine, there was once a time in Germany when beer was brewed with very little or no hops at all. Hops, an essential component of every beer, only really became widespread in the 15th century. Before the Purity Law banned everything other than hops, malt and yeast from the kettles, most brewers used grut instead of hops. Grut is the generic term for a whole range of different herbs that were used to flavor beer. The herbs include, for example, wild rosemary, heather, meadowsweet, juniper or yarrow - basically everything that you can find in the German countryside in terms of aromatic, wild-growing herbs and plants. Brewing with grut was particularly widespread in the north. The brewers were able to pick up the herbs they needed at the Gruthäuser. That was also the case in Münster, the hometown of the Gruthaus brewery.
G(r)gut for everyone
The Gruthaus is a project close to the heart of Philipp Overberg and Jan Kemker. The two beer connoisseurs are committed to saving Grut beer and are working with a lot of passion on the renaissance of this traditional beer style: They not only founded the Grutkultur festival, but also brew a number of extremely interesting beers that will convince even the biggest skeptic should. The extraordinary creations are mainly created in Münster's city center, but in order to meet the ever-increasing demand, the Gruthaus regularly plays puckoo and uses the kettles of some other breweries in Germany and Belgium. The recipes used are painstakingly created by hand and demand everything from the newcomers: sometimes it took a full two years before Philipp and Jan were happy with their creations and wanted to release them for sale. Perfectionism in its most delicious form! The result of their efforts are beers such as the Münsterländer Hanf or the Pumpernickel-Porter . The beers are aromatic, complex and really special: unusual ingredients adorn the label and give the beers their unique character. The Gruthaus is very fond of brewing beers that have a tradition in Münster, and a large part of the raw materials used come from the Münsterland. The brewery is named Gruthaus in honor of Münster's brewing culture. The historic Gruthaus in Münster was for a long time a meeting point for all the city's brewers and the home of the fragrant herbs that gave Münster beer its aromatic taste.
