Thyme

Thyme is a widely used herb in beer brewing, known for its distinctive flavor profile that adds depth and complexity to the taste of beer. It imparts a subtle earthy and floral aroma with hints of citrus and mint. When incorporated into the brewing process, Thyme can influence the taste of beer by providing herbal undertones that complement or enhance other flavors present in the brew.

Thyme is typically used as an adjunct ingredient in certain styles of beers such as saisons, farmhouse ales, and Belgian-style witbiers. Its properties include antimicrobial and antioxidant qualities, which can contribute to extending the shelf life of beer while also adding some health benefits to it. Additionally, Thyme has been historically utilized for its medicinal properties due to its antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects.
