articleissues cleanup August 2011 refimprove August 2011 Gruit sometimes grut is an old fashioned herb mixture used for bittering and flavoring beer , popular before the extensive use of hops . Gruit or grut ale may also refer to the beverage produced using gruit. Gruit was a combination of herbs, some of the most common being mildly to moderately narcotic sweet gale Myrica gale , mugwort Artemisia vulgaris , yarrow Achillea millefolium , ground ivy Glechoma hederacea , horehound Marrubium vulgare , and Calluna heather Calluna vulgaris . Gruit varied somewhat, each gruit producer including different herbs to produce unique flavors and effects. Other adjunct herbs included Hyoscyamus niger black henbane , juniper berry juniper berries , ginger , caraway seed, aniseed , nutmeg , cinnamon , and even hops in variable proportions. Some gruit ingredients are now known to have preservative qualities. Some traditional types of unhopped beer such as sahti in Finland , which is spiced with juniper berry juniper berries and twigs, have survived the advent of hops, although gruit itself has not. The 1990s microbrewery movement in the USA and Europe saw a renewed interest in unhopped beers and several have tried their hand at reviving ales brewed with gruits, or plants that once were used in it. Commercial examples include Fraoch using heather flowers, sweet gale and ginger and Alba using pine twigs and spruce buds from Williams Brothers in Scotland Myrica using sweet gale from O Hanlons in England Gageleer also using sweet gale from Proefbrouwerij in Belgium Cervoise from Lancelot in Brittany using a gruit containing heather flowers, spices and some hops Artemis from Moonlight Brewing Company in Santa Rosa, California using mugwort and Monarda fistulosa wild bergamot , Monarda fistulosa , also known as bee balm or horsemint and Bog Water ref http www.beaus.ca beer seasonal bog water ref from Beau s All Natural Brewing Company in Vankleek Hill, Ontario , Canada using Myrica gale ... more details
