Brewing With Seasonal Fruit
Cherries are already being picked, and apricots will be ready soon. Cherries pair well with fruited sours, and can offer a slight tartness to help balance a slightly sweet beer. Apricots pair well with Blondes and Hefeweizens, and other lighter beers that do not over power the fruit flavor.
Cherries are sweetest in the last few days before they are ripe. And apricots give off a slightly sweet aroma when ready to be picked. Local orchards are a great option for the freshest fruit!
