When I was young I never saw or heard of anyone putting fruit in beer or even having fruit flavored beer.  Perhaps my father's choice of beer, Schaefer, Schlitz, Red White & Blue, etc, was a bit limited.  Then came Corona with a lime.  Now Shock Top with orange is out and a whole bunch of flavored beer.

I would like to know what the fine members of The Sand Trap think on this subject.  Plus, it's a crappy winter and there is nothing else to really think about except shoveling up here in the Great White North. :cry:

OTT - Remember those days from when I lived up in Nashua valley 15 years ago. Winter of 97-98 was a brute but what you are getting now is staggering. Hang in there..

I'll put lime in a Corona and I'll put an orange slice in a Blue Moon, sure.

Otherwise, no.

I think fruit goes better with some wines. I drink a lot of domestic brands of beer, and have never considered putting any fruit in it. However, I have drank some of that Sam Adams stuff with fruit in it. It's not bad, but I prefer my beer straight.

I never understood why some people like to put fruit in their beer. I tried it but didn't like it. I prefer taste of beer itself

Ditto. I am more a fan of the Blue Moon over Corona's. I maybe get a Blue Moon a handful of times a year. I prefer dark beers, and I wouldn't dare put a fruit in them.

I'm not a fruit in beer guy, either. My beer of choice is usually an IPA. [quote name="David in FL" url="/t/80046/fruit-the-beer#post_1104950"]No more than cola belongs in the same glass as good whiskey.....[/quote]I was a bartender for several years and I've never seen anyone request cola with a "good" whiskey ;-)

I don't even like beer, really. Nor most alcohols. So… fruit in beer actually sounds okay to me, if only because beer alone tends to be blech.

I don't have any factual evidence to back this up, just a thought.  But I think fruiting of the beer has been a more recent trend with the heavy influx of craft beers the last few years.  I don't know that it was ever supposed to go in the glass with the beer though.  Leave it on the side.  The theory may be that when you take a drink you inhale through your nose.  As a result the scent of the fruit goes into your nose enhancing the citrus flavors of the beer.

Now this isn't really applicable if we are talking about dropping a lime in you Carona or Bud Light, just more with the craft beers.

I've had beers flavored with blueberries, strawberries, apples, peach, as well as notes of chocolate, coffee, honey, caramel, vanilla. It can be very varied and muy deliciosa.

Fruiting a beer is done for two reasons. 1: The line wedge in the neck of the Corona (or the cheap, clear-bottled cerveza of your choice) is there to cover up the off-flavored that are likely present. The hop oils in beer degrade when exposed to direct sunlight: that's how beer becomes skunky, and why any high-quality beer comes in brown bottles. 2: The orange slice on a glass of Blue Moon (or lemon on some other wheat beer) began as an attention-grabbing garnish. The point was for people to be intrigued enough by the fruited pint they saw on the other side of the bar, and order a beer more expensive than their $2 Bud Light. The acid from the fruit also cuts through the thick heads of wheat beers, but whether or not that is a benefit is up to you. Either way, fruiting beer is inessential. Personally, I wouldn't order a Corona in the first place. On the other hand, I think that complaining about the garnish on a pint of wheat beer is a prime example of beer snobbery.

      Revisiting My First Golf Instructor

      I like to look at the positives.  Overall you are fairly consistent down the center with most shots 20 yards or less off center.  On most fairways that should be in play.  Sure, you had some very short duds, but also if you look there is a good cluster in the 110-125 yard range.  Sure, we would all like to be longer, but knowing your typical shot is more important than trying to hit the 7-Iron 175 Yards.  Just take more club for longer shots and do not worry about it.  Your distances may increase as you improve over time so do not get caught up on that now.

      What has gone downhill? Have you been practicing properly, filming your swing, working on exactly what he suggested without straying? My thoughts are that your results/outcomes from a lesson a year ago probably aren't all that relevant anymore.  And carry distance is far more important than total distance. Total distance is going to vary significantly based on course conditions.

      The Golf Swing Being Repeatable…

      By snapfade ·

      One thing that has helped me tremendously is to spray the club face with foot powder when I am on the range. Seeing ball impact can be quite helpful if you are hitting shots all over the place. It's not the cure all, but a good little thing to do on the range. The other thing, and I will forget to do it, is the pre-shot routine. Find me a spot a foot or so from the ball in-line with my target, take my stance, take the swing.  Sometimes you take a BS practice swing with no thought. Make it deliberate.  As far as swing thoughts. I have 3 check-points. First is set-up, Second is my take away, Third is my downswing. I cant explain what I think I just know in my mind. Its a feeling that I have that feels right and experience has shown that if I follow those 3 thoughts more than likely the outcome will be what I was looking for. Now, thinking about the feeling and executing it properly is a whole different thing, that;s why I practice, I used to be over a 20 handicap, I am down to a 15.1 in about a year.  I feel like its good progress. the goal is a 10 by the end of the year. If I make it great, if not, hey at least Im not in Gaza. LOL

      The Golf Swing Being Repeatable…

      I usually shy away from giving advice on a golf swing since so many here are more qualified than I am.  You might try the following:  Create a "MySwing" page on this  site and you will get a lot of good advice Filter all of the advice and try to only focus on one or two things at a time.  Unfortunately it is very hard, if not impossible, to constantly change different things at the same time.  Figure out what is the most important thing to work on at this moment in your golf swing and focus on that until you have it engrained, then move on the the next change. Remember, we all have both good & bad shots.  The difference between the pros and us hackers is the ratio of good to bad shots. Understand that a bad swing can occasionally look like a great result and a good swing can occasionally have a bad result.  The key is to focus on one thing and work to get that as consistent as possible.  Ideally that will gradually increase the number of good shots vs bad shots.    Do not forget to have fun.
