The version brewed at Schlenkerla makes use of the unique house maltings to create a wheat malt kilned over an Oak wood open fire, and fruity Lubelski hops in the boil, to create a characterful Rauchbier that will keep the Grodziskie fire burning for years to come.

The brand new Schlenkerla x Pinta Grodziskie is available to order online now. http://jamesclay.co.uk/schlenkerla
