They wore a raspberry beer-et! The kind you find in every beer store. Raspberry is always a strong contender in this category as the flavour holds up well in most beer styles. Every year, a new fruit will attempt to dismantle the crown, but rarely makes it to the next season. The trick with these beers is finding that perfect balance of fruity goodness while not overpowering the base beer style. It’s why they are so hard to do really well. The winners? Get them!
