Another email from them: Hi again Ella,

Thank you for your reply. Yes, Grog is available on Test. This material was launched at the same time all the other Ship Customizing materials were released.

EITC and Navy ships will be your best bet to gathering Grog for an upgrade, however I am not certain if Bounty Hunter ships will offer you the same materials or not. As long as the ship you battle is a War Sloop, War Galleon, and War Frigate, you will eventually stumble across some Grog.

As Catie mentioned, Grog is very rare to find in loot, but there may be some balancing that we need to do with building materials, so that Grog is slightly more easy to locate.

Thank you for all of your questions and taking the time to search for Grog and help make sure all the parts of Ship Customization is tested properly before we release it to the Live servers. Please keep in touch if you continue to run into any trouble.

Fair winds,
