Fruit Beer

Even though Fruit Beer is a big, broad category that includes a range of beers brewed with various fruit flavors, the most often used are citrus and berries. These flavors act as punchy accents to the malt and hop character of the style.

Featured Beer

Leinenkugel's^® Berry Weiss

Glassware

A pint glass is best for this style because the shape showcases the beer’s color and they’re easy to drink from. You can also enjoy this beer from a weizen or pilsner glass.

Featured Beer Tasting Notes

Made with three Wisconsin-based berries: blackberries, loganberries, and elderberries
Complex sweet and tart berry jam flavor

Food Pairings

Cheese: Berry-based Fruit Beers add a jam-like quality to baked Brie, as the sweet and tart flavors of the beer pair with the creamy, buttery texture of the cheese (think dessert custard flavors, yum!).
Salads & Desserts: Fruit Beers add a bright, fruity contrast to salads with toasted nuts, bleu cheese or feta crumbles, and acidic dressings. Pair with a Flourless Chocolate Cake for a truly delicious pairing!
