The story of Grodziskie is one of our favorites to tell, because without home brewers, beer drinkers in the US would probably never know this heritage beer.
A specialty beer of its namesake town in Poland, it nearly went extinct 30 years ago when the last commercial Grodziskie brewery closed in 1993. Polish homebrewers took it upon themselves to preserve this legacy style by hosting country-wide homebrew competitions every summer, inviting the last of those brewery employees to judge.
As craft beer came to Poland in later years, newer breweries started to bring Grodziskie beers back into commercial production. Soon enough, it also influenced a generation of American brewers, like us, who brought the style stateside. More recently, Grodziskie Day was established, and is observed worldwide on a Saturday in June.
Cool and refreshing, Grodziskie is a soft summer beer that goes down nice and easy. Dovetail’s version is 100% oak-smoked wheat (Brewers’ note: a very fun lauter!), with light, citrus-like overtones and just a surprising hint of spice and smoke in the backnotes.
