Like a good sour ale? You’ll love this fruit Gose made with raspberries, sea salt and lactose. The can is one of my personal favorites.

Here are some to try:

Imperial Holiday Now

Watch out! This is a dangerously drinkable sour with cranberry and holiday spices.

I think Bham Now’s social media queen, Hannah Chambley, described this one best when she said, “It tastes like Christmas!”

Anything that tastes that joyous is worth at least a sip or two, don’t you think?

Creme Brûlée Imperial Stout

Part of TrimTab’s Cellar Reserve series, this imperial stout includes chocolate and dark specialty malts, flaked oats and milk sugar. 

Rich, creamy and complex, one sip and your mouth with explode with the flavors and aromas of caramel brittle, vanilla caviar and lite roast mocha cold brew. 

Find TrimTab Brewing Company at 2721 5th Avenue South, Birmingham, AL 35233.

Ghost Train Brewing Company

Camellia Blush Cider

Mimicking the appearance and dazzling fruit flavors of Plus wines, the Camellia Blush Cider is brewed with fresh cider juice and lightly fruited with cranberry and raspberry.

Mango Daze

If you like a beer with a sweet and tangy zest, you’ll love this fruited New England-style double IPA that’s crafted with fluffy grains and loaded with fresh Ella, El Dorado, Idaho 7 hops and lots of mango.

Find Ghost Train Brewing Company at 2616 3rd Avenue South, Birmingham, AL 35233.
