Five on Five: Fruit(ed) Beer

If “fruit beer” was once a niche style, it has since evolved into something much more significant, absorbing other traditions along the way to become a vibrant celebration of some of the most popular flavors on Earth. Here are five picks from the pros.

New Glarus Serendipity

Sandra Murphy, head brewer, Fort Brewery & Pizza in Fort Worth, Texas

“My favorite fruit ale is New Glarus Serendipity. I have a friend bring me a case every year, and I slowly ration them out. It’s such an easy, beautiful blend of apple, cherry, and cranberry. I grew up in Wisconsin, so for me the color, aroma, and flavor are just a glass of nostalgia that I can’t get enough of.”
