Grechka

Another wartime Ukraine fundraiser, Grechka, like Kasha, is the word for toasted buckwheat, an important pseudocereal they’ve used for farmhouse brewing, breakfast porridge, pilaf, etc., for over a thousand years. This traditional brew used 35% grechka groats, plus pale ale malts and a little dark crystal malt, Styrian Golding hops and wild yeast. Spiciness similar to a German hefeweizen or Belgian witbier but with a unique and fuller grainy quality.
