We all know that summer doesn’t officially start until June 21 but that doesn’t mean mother nature cares.

So in honor of the beginning of summer-like temperatures and the need for a refreshing beverage, this week we asked our staffers: what is your favorite fruit-infused beer? Here’s what they had to say.

---

Brady Akers

It’s so hard to pick just one: Upland Wheat, Cascade’s Elderberry and Dry Dock’s Apricot Blonde are all great.

---

Shelley Cooper

I’ve been a fan of Founder’s Rubaeus Raspberry Ale lately.

---

Spencer Mapes

Hell or High Watermelon by 21st Amendment. Also, just had the Hala Kahiki Pineapple Ale by Rivertowne Brewing. Never thought pineapple could taste so good in beer!

---

Christopher Day

Avery Brewing’s Momi Hiwa Barrel-Aged Coconut Porter paired with Anywhere? Cascade’s Apricot Ale. Locally, Avery’s Lilikoi Kepolo.

Niel Stender

Haven’t had it yet but their animation makes me want to – Sixpoint RAD

---

Kathleen Morton

It may be boring, but Funkwerks Saison!

---

Colin Clancy

Leinenkugel’s Summer Shandy. Mmm.

---

Shelley Cooper

Colin, I guess you must have “flunked” the “advanced craft beer drinkers” survey too, along with most of the rest of us! 😉

---

Colin Clancy

What can I say? I like what I like.

Lauren Hoff

Beer By Design Brewery just did a “four hour sour” with our wheat ale, and it drinks like a Berliner Wiesse. We split it into 4 batches and have a plain wheat and infused the other 3 with raspberries, strawberries or blueberries. I can’t get enough of the blueberry.

Cory Pelc

Epic Brewing’s Brainless on Raspberries/cherries/peaches

---

Lauren Hoff

Yes, Brainless is awesome! Once had Brainless Cherries with Brett… holy cow!

---

Tristan Chan

Can we get some New Glarus Raspberry Tart in here? No, seriously can I have some please?!?

---

Tristan Chan

I’m looking at you Lindsay Snyder

---

Jason Patrick

I think lemongrass is more of a plant than a fruit, but I will go with West Sixth’s Lemongrass Wheat. If you haven’t tried this yet get your butt to Kentucky (or southern Ohio) and pick some up.

---

Laura Graham

Epic Brewing’s Brainless on Peaches. I want 7 right now just thinking about it.

---

Lindsay Snyder

New Glarus raspberry and cherry definitely deserve a shout out. A little pricey but oh so worth it.

---

Lindsay Krumel

Any of Jackie O’s fruit-infused beers, including their Kinda Fuzzy, a Peach Wheat Ale, Razz Wheat, and Paw Paw Wheat.
