Beer: Fruit-Forward & Hedgerow Craft Beers
28 drinks
Bitter, heavy IPAs are taking a backseat as lighter, fruit-infused lagers, pale ales, and sour beers dominate the UK market. Driven by a desire for easy-drinking, highly refreshing serves, UK craft brewers are utilizing everything from sun-kissed tropical fruit to hyper-local British hedgerow botanicals (elderberry, blackberry, sea buckthorn) to create vibrant, complex flavor profiles. Here's a selection across the UK:
