Mørk Mosebryg

Tap to rate

Mørk Mosebryg is a Scottish ale with a mild, fresh hop character from single hopping with First Gold, and a touch of smoked malt that gives it edge and character. It was the very first beer brewed at Grauballe Bryghus in 2002, and the first kegs were sold that autumn, before the brewery moved into larger premises in 2013.
