Located in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, Earth Eagle Brewings offers a unique range of beers that replace hops with other less familiar ingredients. Co-founders Alex McDonald and Butch Heilshorn follow ancient brewing recipes that had brewers using locally found herbs and plants such as catnip, galangal root, Mandrake, mistletoe, mugwort, and spruce tips to balance out the sweet malt and to act as a preservative.

Aiming to give visitors a more adventurous taste experience, Earth Eagle Brewings is a champion of gruits, the name given to beers that eschew hops for other less common ingredients with signature beers like the favorite New England Gangsta’ and Ancestral IPAs, Chiefy LaRoux (Belgian pale ale), Black Adder (milk stout), and Kiichigo (a dunkelweizen brewed with raspberries).
