Brewing Instructions

If you're ever looking for an incredibly unique place to spend a vacation you need look no further than the Rock of Gibraltar. The experience of visiting this southernmost enclave of Britannia is odd to say the least. One minute you're in Southern Spain enjoying tapas red wine and oranges and the next you're washing down fish and chips with a warm lager followed by a handful of imported black currants for dessert. Truly it is bizarre. The standout features continue as well - Gibraltar is home to Europe's only population of wild monkeys and unlike the rest of the UK cars are driven on the right hand side of the road. To say the least it's a one of a kind kinda place. Adding to the mystique is the combination of cultures that have come together to populate this tiny corner of the globe. As the rock sits at the bottom of Europe facing Africa it has long served as a cultural crossroads of sorts a meeting place for the many cultures that lie north and south of its borders. Sitting at this crossroads as it does it seems fitting that an herbal blend inspired by the territory should also serve as a meeting point of sorts. As such this blend combines blackcurrants a fruit typically associated with northern Europe and marries them with Rooibos an herb found only in Africa.
