Jagtøl

Tap to rate

Jagtøl was developed together with a group of hunters who wanted a beer to suit the mood in the hunting lodge in the evening, or at lunch after a day out hunting. It is dark golden with a full taste and a subdued, fresh aroma that comes from two hop varieties, Saaz and Cascade. Grauballe Bryghus brews it in Silkeborg.
