Another week come and gone, another great Michigan beer to sample. This week were going to take a visit over to Grand Rapids, home of Founder's Brewery. Founder;s has seen exceptional growth over the last several years, and much of it is due to their innovative beer and special releases. Not long ago Founders added Cerise to their line up of seasonal beers. The brewery describes this deliciousness as follows "You’ll have a soft spot for this one. Using only fresh Michigan tart cherries, this beauty tantalizes with intense flavors combined with a no hesitation malt bill. Adding fresh cherries at five separate stages of fermentation achieves the ultimate balance between tartness and sweetness." Cerise weighs in at 6.5% abv, and an IBU count of 15, so this beer is all sweet and no bitterness, perfect for any time of year, I prefer dusk on a warm summer evening. In our belief that there is a Michigan beer for everyone, Cerise can certainly be the beer for those with sweet wine appreciations, and for those who dislike bitter tasting beer.
Cerise is sold in 4 packs, and is produced April through August. Head on over to your local craft beer store (we suggest using www.craftbeerlocator.com) to support a great Michigan brewery who supports Michigan produced products!
