B. Nektar Meadery’s Blood Amulet is a hard cider and, somehow, not the name of an occult rock band.

Tefnut is an ongoing collaboration series between Richmond’s The Veil and Swedish nomad brewing operation Omnipollo that offers radical reinterpretations of fruited gose. This one gose to 11… almost.
