We tried commercial examples of several fruit beers which include raspberries, cherries, peaches, apricots, and strawberries.

Additionally, for our show and tell, Fred brought a beer gun and explained how it was used to bottle kegged beers. At the July meeting we’ll cover meads, and it’s also one of the AHA Club-only competitions, so if you’ve got a mead, bring it and we’ll select one to send off to the competition.
