Old Man Gloom Burn Kit
Start the new year gloom-free!
The burning of Zozobra is a beloved annual tradition in Santa Fe. Every year, a 50-foot-tall marionette of Zozobra, or "Old Man Gloom," is stuffed with thousands of paper "glooms" — love letters, divorce documents, photos, parking tickets, bad habits, hurt feelings — and is ceremonially set on fire. Zozobra and the glooms are burned away, symbolically releasing worries and embracing new beginnings.
Celebrate the centennial burning of Zozobra with this limited-edition, crisp and lively Brut. Add a Gruet branded pad of paper & matches in drawstring bag and host your own gloom burning.
