I never thought I'd say it but some of these new fruit-infused beers aren't half bad (but some are downright awful). I tried a sour raspberry one that would have peeled the paint off the walls. It was in a variety pack that I bought.
We live in a condo building and, this entire summer, I've been anonymously leaving a can of beer in front of one of my older neighbor's door a few times a month. He really likes beer but was stuck on Corona so I thought I'd help him expand his repertoire a little with some variety. My wife and I are taking bets on how long we can keep this up without him finding out, but then, maybe he already knows but is keeping quiet because he likes the free beer. Lol.
Who can resist free beer!!
I like some sours and some fruity beers but there are a lot of shoddy ones out there. I am glad that the first one wasn't Ricoh as if they were both bad I would have wept!
Definitely! I don't even think the neighbor cares to find out who it is. Lol.
Some hit better than others. I tend to like hoppy IPAs (it's a Midwest US thing). This one is my very favorite at the moment....

Oh my, that looks like a cracker!! I do like a hazy hoppy one. Especially when they get the balance just so!
It's so good and as an added bonus doesn't have corn syrup in it. Lots of craft beers here in the states are starting to use corn syrup in the brewing process and it's really not great for you. I think it gives more of a punch to the alcohol though and I think this is the real reason they do it. It feels like doing a shot.
Corn syrup is bad, I would steer clear of those ones too although I can imagine as you say doing it for the alcohol hit as it will give the yeasties more to devour and turn into it. I like everything in life to not have things that you dont naturally have!
