A Note on This Beer

In a zombie apocalypse, I’d run straight for Fargo, ND. Sure, it’s one of the lesser populated states, but more importantly, it’s the home of Drekker Brewing Company! 

This award-winning brewery is the perfect place for a beer lover like myself to hole up! 

It only seems right that I should kick off the zombie apocalypse with one of their Braaaaaaaains Fruited Sours, too — all you fruit fanatics out there have given every. single. one. of the brews in this series AT LEAST a 4+ rating!

I think I’d start with a giant, thick pour of Braaaaaaaains Black Currant, Cherry, and Plum. This Sour is filled with the ripest of stone fruit: a sweet jamboree of tart cherries, succulent plums, and deep, bursting-berry black currants.

Blended with luscious vanilla beans, creamy lactose, and a sprinkling of sea-salt, these Braaaaaaaains actually taste like a fresh plum-berry pie topped with vanilla ice cream!

In fact, this decadent jammer is so thick and juicy, I’m pretty sure I could trick any zombies headed my way into sipping a pint instead of what they’re really aiming for. Who knows, after a few chuga glug glugs, they might just change their evil ways and have a seat at the bar!

Luckily, you don’t have to wait until a zombie apocalypse to try out Braaaaaaaains Black Currant, Cherry and Plum. We have a stash of cans waiting for you right here, to be enjoyed in the safety and comfort of your own home.

*Drekker advises keeping Braaaaaaaains cold for the optimal drinking experience!

Congratulations to Drekker for medaling at the 2020 U.S. Beer Open Championship!

With Tavour, it's easy to beer it forward! Just head over to Tavour.com/gifts to send a gift box or gift card to the craft beer lover in your life. Cheers!

Holy thick cherry juice batman! How does this thickness even get through all the brewing pipes! Seriously, that's probably a B to clean! Great beer!

Unbelievably flavorful! Great mouth feel but could be a bit more thicc, which is my only complaint. Rich deep cherry, black currant and vanilla aroma and flavor that reminds you of fresh pie and home made jams that finishes on sweet plum, which masks the 7.5% insanely well. Smooth rich not too sweet or sour. Perfectly balanced. I must find more braaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaains!!!!!!

This is not my favorite series, but it is one of the better of its series. I’ve trie do believe three total. I’m really like the flavor of this one. It also seemed less tart than the others which I appreciated. Good balance.

Ordered from Tavour, chilled in my fridge for a couple weeks and poured into an imperial pint glass. Look: dark red, purple with a small quarter finger size head. Thick purée head and lacing that hangs around a while. Smell: deep smells of puréed cherry and plum (not exactly sure what a currant smells like). Hints of vanilla, but mostly earthy fruit smells dominate. Taste: taste follows the smell... sour, fruity up front, cherry dominates the mid palate plum lingers in the nose and vanilla hangs around with some earthy fruitiness. Feel: full mouthfeel, sour and a small tickle of carbonation. Overall this is another super yummy braaaaaaaains addition from Drekker. For an almost 8% ABV beer the booze is hidden well, the sour is mild and the cherry lets you know it is the fruit in the slushy beer. We love Drekker creativity and this is a good one. Cheers everyone!

Another great entry in the series. A great rich and thick, blackberry colored pour. It’s a great fruity combination. Tart and sour on the tongue.

VERY good fruited sour. It has the sour taste I desire and the plum finish is great. Perfect fruited sour all with 7.5% that you would have no idea it was in there. Just great!

I’m glad I wasn’t disappointed by my first Drekker. Perfect mix of black currant, cherry, plum. I thought the plum was going to mess things up but I was wrong. It’s thicker than most almost smoothie like.
