    Is this confirmed somewhere or speculation based on the “keep cold” comment?

    Well I have to disagree with you there. The NG fruit beers are basically juice.

    Haven't had one and this style is new to me so I'm curious based on your post- do they carb this after the they add the fruit puree or rather, if I take a beer, add fruit and a hand mixer what will be the notable differences between that product and Mores?

    You don't think taking a hand mixer to a beer is going to change it?

    They've mentioned in a podcast (average joe's I believe) before that the fruit is added after fermentation

    I'm having trouble envisioning the finished product as described earlier so I'm using the hand mixer comparison for a baseline.

    I am as well. A literal fruit smoothie with beer as the liquid is what is coming to mind from the descriptions.

    That’s probably the case - that they add fruit after primary fermentation. My question (which wasn’t adequately asked earlier) is does More let the fruit sugars ferment out in a secondary fermentation?

    I would be very surprised if they didn’t let the purée ferment out.

    Has anyone ever had an exploding can of frooted? That would be a sign if active yeast and unfermented fruit purée getting canned.

    Edit: just found this from an earlier frooted release. They say “aged” on the fruit... indicating they let it ferment out. So these beers are not just a simple blend of beer and fruit purée

    Getting off topic from the froots, but is it safe to anticipate an anniversary party this month and some additional whale(s)??

    Grand Opening: July 15, 2017

    Have to imagine special tappings if nothing else. Was thinking the same thing. Out of town on 7/15 this year as well as last year haha

    Alright, I'm going to have to try one of those just to satisfy my curiosity as I can't decided whether Froots looks good or gross. Is that stuff on draft? I'd be scared to run it through a draft line.

    They often have issues getting it through the draft line actually

    Then we all know not to drink 5 month old Frooted Sour crowlers. And knowing is half the battle.

    It’s been 5 hours and no updates. I think we all now know what NOT to do.

    I'm going to buy Frooted crowlers, store them warm for 6 months, then gift them to my enemies.
