Reinheitsgebot baby. Fruits are for Fruits.
So you don't use yeast? Do you go the coolship route, then?

Sam Adams Cherry Wheat
Sam really falls short in the fruit beer department for some reason.
I had a blueberry beer once and it was the worst thing I have ever tried to drink! I took one sip and spit it out then pored the rest out in the parking lot. Fruit dose not belong in a beer IMO.
I recently tried a bottle of Horsehead Brewing Jalapeño Beer. Split a bomber with my son. After my first taste I started to think about how to use the hot peppers I was growing in the garden.... by the time I finished the glass, I decided it was best enjoyed in small doses. I'll save my peppers for chili.

I thinks Sam Adams is pretty overrated in general. If there isn't anything else to drink but Sammy, it is the best choice, but all in all, SA is really the alternative to BMC.
Hmmm I just tossed 6lbs of bananas and two vanilla beans into my oatmeal stout...Im a pretty little girl apparently .
I see where you are going, breakfast beer.
Anyone try the Maui Coconut Porter?
I got a truck driver going on vacation in Cali. you can only get it in CA, MO, Hawaii. I told him to try all of Maui Brewery out, make the call whether to buy all coconut, or a mixture of all of them. I told him that a lot of people like it and that I would buy all of the beer he didn't want to keep. I might get two cases or so. I hopped from Molokai to Oahu, had time on the flgiht, to sample some of Hawaii's breweries but don't remember which one is was.

I'm especially thankful this discussion got it's SA bash in. Where would a 10 page discussion be without it??
I'm off to start a new thread to explore how people who like hoppy beers are fags because they enjoy beer with lots of flowers in it...
No need to start a thread, it's common knowledge that people whe like hoppy beers are fags. You wouldn't be saying anything new.
Long thread, but I saw some references to Magic Hat #9. Is there even any fruit in that beer? You guys should go ahead and make a very mildly hopped pale ale with WLP001 fermented in the 70's and mashed thin. You get some crazy peach and apricot taste from it. Just because it tastes like fruit doesn't mean there is fruit in it
I'm ready to kick out the next gay bashing poster and send them on a bancation. So flame on.
Pun intended.
DFH Aprihop is the best argument to be made in favor of fruit beer. If you haven't had the pleasure, I can see where you might think they're wrong.
Friends of mine took me to a gay bar a while back (yes, I have friends who are gay. OMG!) They had one of the best beer selections I'd ever seen, actually.
Fruit and flower beers might be gay.
I prefer to have someone teabag my beer, then I can guarantee it.
Fruit can belong in beer, just not in mine
You're fruity enough as it is, eh?
Maybe I haven't tried enough fruit beers but the ones that I have tried always tasted like crap and/or gave me a serious headache. I mean if I want to drink a fruity alcohol beverage, I'll pick up a gallon of wine or some wine coolers. IMHO malt and fruit don't mix. If you think they do, drink some wine until you got a half decent buzz and then finish off with some beers until you're good and drunk. You will see what happens to you in the morning. No fruit in beers for this homebrewer.
