More About Fruit and Spice Beers

Fruit and spice beers are a creative category that allows brewers to push the boundaries of traditional styles. Apples, cherries, raspberries, and citrus are frequently paired with baking spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, and clove to evoke flavors reminiscent of desserts, holidays, or warm seasonal drinks. These beers often start with a malt-forward base—like amber ale, brown ale, or wheat beer—providing a sturdy canvas for layering complementary fruit and spice character. Spiced Apple Ale is a perfect example: familiar, drinkable, and just adventurous enough to surprise and delight.
