Beer of the Weekend #1,010: Crushberry
Before I took a last-minute spring break vacay to Alabama’s Gulf Coast last week, I drank Crushberry, brewed by the Lion Bridge Brewing Company of Cedar Rapids, Iowa.
Serving type: 12-ounce can. “01/16/2023” is printed on the bottom.
Appearance: Poured into a tulip. The color is raspberry. A half-finger of raspberry-tinted head leaves a broken skim and collar.
Smell: Trix or Crunch Berries. It is like I’m a kid, eating breakfast at the counter with a bowl of it in front of me. There is a lot of fruit, and a good dose of cereal, like Cheerios.
Taste: Very tart and not like cereal. Lots of tart berry; raspberry, blueberry It has that sour funk. Very tasty but tart.
Fun facts about Crushberry:
• Style: Lion Bridge calls it “Kettle Sour with Blueberry and Berry Flavor.”
• Price: Unsure.
• Alcohol content: 6.7 percent ABV.
• Here is the description via the brewery website:
The Quiet Man’s grade: B+.
