Scratch Beer 165 - 2014 (Cranberry Porter)
Tröegs Brewing Company

The cranberry is one of only three fruits that can trace its roots back to North American soil. Although its growing season begins in September, the cranberry is most associated with the winter season. Since this little red berry resonates with so many people during this time of year, we find it fitting to release this beer during the commencement of the holiday season. Typically, cranberries are viewed as too bitter and sour to eat raw. However, this magic ingredient lends a pleasant tart, fruity finish and complements the roasty character of this robust porter, providing Scratch #165 with its simple yet festive charm.
