Cranberry Beers? Your thoughts?

I was thinking that I haven't had any cranberry beers, but I've had Serendipity and it is phenomenal

Didn't realize it was a cranberry beer when I had it

 

You forgot New Glarus Cran-bic. Which is my favorite of the ones I've tried.

I've had New Glarus Serendipity, being in WI, but I don't go out of my way for it. Sand Creek Cranberry Special Ale was ok but nothing I'd go out of my way to get again. I've had none of the others on your list, I've had a few but can't remember which they were.

 

New Glarus Can-bic has been the best cranberry beer I have come across. Great addition to a Thanksgiving meal/dessert!

 

I just had Mad Tree's Pilgrim Pale Ale which was brewed with cranberries, walnuts and vanilla bean and I really enjoyed it.

 

Black Butte XXVI (or whatever the most recent release's number is) has cranberry added. It's subtle but there and adds an interesting twist to the beer.

One of Cisco's Lady of the Woods beers is a cranberry based. I wasn't a fan of the taste---I'd have to check my review to remember exactly what was off--- but in general it's enjoyed by BAs.

 

Oops, noticed OP posted about the Cisco, my bad! Missed it in the first read through.

 

New Glarus Cran-bic is awesome! I had my brother in WI buy a case for me last week and now I have to wait for it until I make it out to WI for Christmas. In my opinion, NG Serendipity (cranberry, apple, cherry) is excellent as well but not quite as amazing as Belgian Red or Raspberry Tart.

 

Night Shift Cape Codder Weisse is pretty good if you're into sours.

^ That's also pretty good. Unfortunately both are regional and seasonal.

 

I've been happy with the ones I've had. I even like the SA Cranberry "Lambic." I think that beer is hated more for its name than what's in the bottle. If they just called it "Cranberry Surprise" or something like that I bet people wouldn't mind it nearly as much.

 

If I recall NB Pumpkick is made with cranberries, or at least the juice

 

Oh, crap...sorry, I was looking at the Harpoon that I almost added, guess I should pay more attention to detail....I'm penalizing myself one beer

 

We have a local brewery here in Arizona that does a really good seasonal beer with Cranberries called "Nooks and Crannies" which I really enjoyed. Typically I do not enjoy them but this one surprised me.

You can never go wrong with the Ephemere line from Unibroue, including the Cranberry.
Grizzly Paw Cranberry Winter Ale is s'alright. Almost tasted more like a porter to me.
If anyone is looking for proanthocyanidins in their beer, BM to trade.

 

I'd love to try that beer. I loved Funkin Gonuts and wish I could get it again. I'm surprised that it's rating is as low as it is, I thought it was awesome.
