Sorry Crag the Brewer Crag the Brewer , I meant to respond to your earlier comment - I guess I meant flavored beers for Leinenkugel - I had never heard of them (15 or so years ago), but when they first hit the Colorado market, the folks that had moved from the midwest, were stoked about it, can't say I'm a fan of their beers in the slightest. As for New Glarus, they do some fantastic beers with fruit, as you say, they're not flavored simply to be flavored, but really a way to get fruit into your system, while enjoying a delicious beverage - their strawberry rhubarb is super tasty.

Back in the day, Guinness was served to expecting mothers it was believed to help, I think with milk production....idk? Probably just primed them up for making More babies......

I never heard of fruiting a beer.

Fruit beers like Kriek and Framboise and other lambic been around before Guiness, I bet....
New Glarus in Wisconsin rocked the beer world being a non Belgium brewery ousting Their legendary styles.... It was a big deal

I'm NOT talking sissy phoo phoo beers. Marketing beers, that soccer mom's drink


*For the record, I'm not huge into fruit beers. I went through a sour phase a number of years ago, culturing my own yeasts, and commercilly...

But I actually specialize in American versions of British style ales.
Especially Stouts, Porters, and some Browns....
Used to have a beer engine before it was cool. Soooooomuch work, though.

My favorite Mexican "high volume" beer, with my favorite "high volume" produced American parer.

Guinness stout was introduced in the 1800s. Guinness did alter some of their brews at various times, porters and stouts.

Mom was a nurse in England right after WW2, twas she that told me that hospitals had been serving Guinness to patients - of course what she referred to as "patients" might be in a number of categories. She also said that the hospital raised chickens - slaughtered, processed and served them up to patients and staff alike no doubt. How things have changed.

Id love to sample some of your stouts! 😁

I bet, because of war torn happenings....beer was an easy to store, safe to drink means of keeping people fed, and possibly happier.

I used to teach brewing classes, after I was a pro brewer for 5 years in the mid 90's.
Anyway....I'd teach, and Really believe that much of human, civilized development happened because, or at least with beer. I can give many examples, and talk for days.....
-Same can be said with Knives.
