Ground Breaker Brewing has announced the release of By the Sea, a gose style ale brewed with coriander, lemon peel and a touch of salt. At 4.6% alcohol by volume By the Sea is brewed true to style, lightly bittered, with balanced flavors and aroma.

“As a gluten-free brewer, there are styles you see but can’t have,” said Head Brewer Gloria Zeiger. “This is one of those classic styles I’ve always wanted to experience, and I tried to keep it traditional while also not being able to use traditional ingredients.”

By the Sea Gose

To achieve gose’s wheat-like aspect, Ground Breaker incorporated teff into the grain bill. Teff is a naturally gluten-free grain native to the Horn of Africa, where it is a dietary staple. Ground Breaker sourced the grain from The Teff Company, an Idaho-based company that has been growing it for over 30 years.

“Gluten-free beer is always going to push the envelope in terms of ingredients,” said Head of Operations Jesse Bufton. “Brewing with new ingredients like teff can be a challenge, but it can also be incredibly rewarding.”

By the Sea began to ship out to distribution partners on April 13th. It will continue to hit store shelves in the coming weeks.
