Is Fruit In Beer Blasphemous Or Can It Be A Creative Twist? Poll

Author // Jeff

Last night we were doing some work on DrinkCraftBeer.com while enjoying a couple pints. Jeff had just poured himself a Narragansett Summer Ale when his wife threatened to drop raspberries into his beer. His eyes widened with fear and a, "Nooooooooooooo..." escaped his lips.

But it was too late and the raspberry splashed down into his beer. Oddly, it wasn't repulsive. In fact, it really wasn't bad at all...you might even call it good. But no! That can't be!?

Many of us have scoffed at the guy with the orange slice in his beer, but should we be so quick to judge? So what say you? (Those of you who were at our Washburn Kitchen/Drink Craft Beer dinner may remember our delicious Jalapeno Blueberry Infused Wachusett Blueberry Ale. Does that sway you?)

So the question is, "Is fruit added to a beer blasphemous or can it be a creative twist on a beverage?" By added we mean post-brewing, as in putting some fruit in the glass. As usual, vote below, then let us know what you picked and why on Twitter, on Facebook or in the comments at the end. Cheers!
