POSCA RUSTICA—IRON AGE BEER. Here is the website for Dupont’s Posca Rustica, which is imported by Vanberg and DeWulf of Cooperstown, New York. Posca Rustica is based on archaeological research. (I posted here on Patrick McMcGovern, the Beer Archaeologist.) It is produced near the Archeosite d’Aubechies in Belgium, which interprets life from the Iron Age to the Roman Era. Posca Rustica beer is “highly, if delicately, spiced” and is made from a gruit containing about a dozen spices, including sweet woodruff (known as Galium odoratum or wild baby’s breath) and bog myrtle.
I have spent some time looking for a place in the New York City area where I can sample Posca Rustica, but I haven’t found it yet.
