Fruity Beers
If you'd rather drink juice or soda
By Don McSwiney for Avenue Calgary's June edition.
Don McSwiney’s beer drinking resume includes 25 years of enthusiastic consumption, as a private citizen and member of The Dino Martinis. Turn-ons include long walks on the beach, beer, discovering great new beer and talking or writing about beer. Turn-offs include beer snobs and those unwilling to give different beer styles a chance.
Van Diest Beer Company, Belgium
4.1% White Fruit Beer
Fruili is made with 30 per cent strawberry juice, and it's sweet. Tooth-achingly, cough-syrupy sweet. Allegedly, this is beer. If you like jam and beer together, you'll love it.
Where to drink it: For dessert, if you have your jaw wired shut.
Pairing: With strawberry shortcake.
