What are adaptogens?
Here's an overview:
Adaptogens are unique natural herbs and roots, like Ginseng, Ashwagandha, and Rhodiola, famed in traditional medicine for aiding the body's stress response. These botanicals are believed to help in adapting to stress and maintaining balance.
Benefits:
- Stress Management: They may support a more effective stress response.
- Physiological Balance: Aimed at stabilizing body processes.
- Energizing Qualities: Often used for boosting vitality and focus.
Important Considerations
While adaptogens have a rich history in herbal traditions, it's crucial to understand that they are not FDA approved. Their efficacy and safety are subjects of ongoing scientific study.
Usage Advice
Always consult healthcare professionals before adding adaptogens to your routine, particularly if you have health concerns or are on medication. Explore the world of adaptogens responsibly, informed by both tradition and modern research.
Crafted Without Gluten
How did we do it?
Choosing suitable grains - The first step is creating a recipe, and we found that millet, buckwheat, and oats would give us the right flavor, color, and mouthfeel. We sourced these from facilities like Grouse Malt House, which specializes in gluten-free ingredients.
We make all of our beers, except this one, with barley which is the gluten component, and since gluten is in our facility, we are not calling this beer gluten-free. However, we took many precautions to consider gluten sensitivities, including extra deep cleaning in our brewery.
Although our fermentation tanks, packaging line, and all other equipment the beer touches is rigorously cleaned and inspected after each beer, the brewhouse typically receives less attention. In this case, we made sure every inch of those tanks was spotless, including removing the lauter screens to scrub each one and ensure no piece of grain was left behind.
Finally, when we transferred the finished beer into the brite tank for packaging, we added a product called Clarex. Because it contains an enzyme that breaks down gluten, it is often used by breweries that can claim that their beer is gluten-reduced. We decided to add it to our beer, which was made without gluten, just to be sure.
