Let’s head to the farmer’s market for this month’s suggestions and pick up some fruit beers raspberries, strawberries and pears make appearances this month.

~LIGHT
Avery/ Raspberry Sour 6.5% ABV
“Luscious ripe red raspberries are elegantly intertwined with a bountiful amount of lactic acidity and delicate barrel nuances to cultivate this stunning sour ale.”

~MEDIUM
Almanac/ Farmer’s Reserve Strawberry 7.0% ABV
“A celebration of the summer harvest, this blond sour ale is loaded with coastal Seascape Strawberries grown at Dirty Girl Farms in California’s Santa Cruz Mountains. These delicious juicy berries are swept by cool evening ocean breezes and drenched in warm daytime sun before being hand-picked and added to this tart and refreshing ale.n”

~DARK
New Belgium/ Pear Ginger Ale 7.0% ABV
“Our latest Lips of Faith release updates the Victorian-era ginger beer with whimsical additions of pear and lemon peel, creating a zesty, invigorating summer sipper crafted for beer glasses and mixologists’ cocktail shakers alike. Warming, spicy ginger punctuates a lively wash of sunny lemon, pear and bready white wheat for a sip that starts sweet, but finishes with just the right amount of heat. Drink it straight, no chaser, or put a new spin on a classic gimlet.”
