A Note on This Beer

One time I had this homemade, tropical shaved ice in Hawaii that was so delicious, it squeezed my brain. 

Jam-packed with nectarous fruit, it felt like I bit into a ripe strawberry and blueberry at once, and chased them down with a banana slushy!

I could feel the neurons pulsing inside my head.  

And, I thought I’d have to endure another 17-hour flight to capture that feeling again. 

Thank goodness I was wrong! Turns out I’d only have to trek to Fargo, North Dakota.

Today we linked up with the U.S. Open Beer Champs at Drekker. They’re a little weird, a little crazy, and a lot about pushing the limits of what great craft beer can be. And the best thing about them? They created a beer that transported me to the same tropical creamsicle euphoria I’d experienced in Hawaii. 

To make Brain Squeeze: Blueberry/Strawberry/Banana, Drekker hoists in 30 lbs per barrel of plump strawberries, blueberries, and bananas. That’s almost triple the amount used in an average Fruit Sour! 

Then, the brewery adds 4 pounds of vanilla beans, not the run-of-the-mill, dried-up kind either — we’re talking about the highest quality, most flavorful kind, straight from Madagascar. 

Drekker blends the vanilla-kissed fruit with a massive 10 lbs of lactose per barrel, resulting in an extra creamy Jamba Juice-like experience with a tart fruitiness tamed by the massive additions of milk sugar. 

You know the difference between a Slurpee from 7-Eleven and a soft, smooth, quality-made Hawaiian shaved ice. If you’re picky, today’s Brain Squeeze Blueberry/Strawberry/Banana is one top-notch treat.

You can taste each fruit in this. It’s incredibly smooth. Definitely a dessert beer, not one to chug. Delicious.

Second sour and I can see what the fuss is about this one. I had heard great things about Drekker and it didn’t disappoint. While I am used to beers with higher ABV, I think this is the style of sours that I prefer over others that are overly sour.

Very fruit forward, Strong sour berry explosion at first, followed by a soft plunge into luscious, silky smooth notes of vanilla and banana. One of my favorite after dinner treats

Tart, almost Berliner aroma with just a hint of berry in the nose. Really well balanced with a bit of bright tartness, some deep strawberry and blueberry, and just a slight hint of banana right at the end. I could use more banana, but it’s still great.

Literally went down like a smoothie. Was expecting it to be super sweet but was pretty well balanced. I got a hug amount of banana more then anything, but was still tasty.
