Blind Bat Vlad the Inhaler

Grodziskie, a smoked wheat ale, is considered to be the the only beer style native to Poland. Named after the city where it was brewed, it is sometimes known as Gratzer (the name the Germans gave the city of Grodziskie when they took over). This style was popular across much of Poland and northern Germany during the 19th Century and into the 20th up to the first World War. Thought to have been born sometime in the 14th Century, this beer style disappeared in the 1990s when the last brewery in Poland producing it closed.

Vlad the Inhaler is brewed with 99% wheat, 1% malted barley is used to satisfy TTB regulations. The wheat and barley is smoked at the brewery over oak for two hours prior to mashing.
