Every time I snag a new Smoothie brew from the New York State Beer Competition Gold medalists at KCBC, I queue up Kool & The Gang’s ‘Celebration’ and do a little happy dance!

What can I say? These brewers stuff their beers with so much real fruit, I can’t help but get my groove on after cracking a can. 

Today’s Dragon Wagon is no exception! The brewers crammed this jammy party-in-a-can with loads of lush guavas, tangy dragonfruit, sweet bananas, and mildly tart passionfruit. I feel like I’m sippin’ on a big glass of POG, in between bites of ripe banana.  

With its silky smooth mouthfeel — thanks to additions of vanilla and milk sugar — I’m cruising through cans with superhuman speed. It’s just the beer to relax with at the end of a long work day. Or, to keep you company through a bases loaded, bottom of the 9th, 2 outs, 2 strikes, down by 1 situation! 

Come to think of it, I better slow down and save the rest of my stash for MLB gameday. Once these cans are gone, who knows if — or when — the NY-based brewmasters will whip up more.
