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.

Both Blue Moon and Shocktop have a weird celery aftertaste to me, I think they're gross.
