Ridiculous amounts of sweet, juicy, tart Montmorency Cherries from Michigan. It's the closest thing you'll get to actually sitting in a cherry tree on the shores of Lake Michigan at harvest eating mouthfuls of plump, ripe cherries. This beer is sure to be a fantastic experience for your palette.

Tart, tantalizing and juicy, The Big Friendly goes cherry picking to provide a fruit beer full of flavor, acidity and refreshment.

Pale mauve and light foggy in its pour, Joe's Cherry Preserves carries a dainty veil of foam with a juicy and tangy scent of montmorency cherries and their fresh fruit character and a peppery twinge of the nose. Hints of cider, citrus and wine dance in the peripheries of scent while a supple sip reveals a juicy splash of acidic cherry candy, light fruit glaze and cherry juice with a wafer-thin malt backdrop. Growing tartness stems from the acidic nature of the fruit with a finish of citrus, cider and vinous spice for balance and drinkability.

Medium-dry on the palate, the juicy upstart trails into a nearly sour finish framed by the most radiant cherries imaginable.
