Bearded brewers: not at all creepy
We have one of those at Maison d’Etre but to the best of my knowledge it has never been used for brewing.
UPDATE: I left out Paliūništio Medutis earlier -- "brewed in a fourth generation family brewery with roots from the Kupiškis beer region" -- having generously assumed that "roots" must refer to family background, because no-one could possible be putting hum'rously shaped vegetables into the mash.

You have to specify added green peas because the initial green peas are assumed.
over at LGM, mention was made recently of hipster-oriented beer made using the yeast from the brewmaster's beard.
I thought you'd be interested. You're welcome.
" unique, harmonious aroma and bitter taste."
This is Conservative Tears Beer isn't it?
Christmas Ale would have strong competition in Lithuania.
the yeast from the brewmaster's beard.
Here too there is some overlap between beardedness and brewing:

Thankyew ITTDGY. Now the concept of "peener noir" will be haunting me all the way home.
Coq au vin, anyone?

Lithuanians have the best beer festivals.
At one bar I wound up talking with an American beer blogger (Don Russell) who'd flown over specifically to attend the fest (and to liaise between American embassy staff and unfamiliar forms of beer) and apparently he adorned a photograph of bearded Smut on his FB page.
Vilnius real-beer publicans have been reading the FB page in question, and I am now familiar to them. Sadly, the familiarity did not extend as far as offers of free beer.
…A part of the malt is replaced by lightly fried cannabis seeds.
Extra bar snacks come with this one.
Give added peas a chance.
Favourite Lithuanian bar snacks:
1. Lard-fried garlicated bread sticks, with stringy cheese / mayonnaise for dipping.
2. Peas with crackling.
clarification please: Are the cannabis seeds lightly fried or the drinker?
