Carrot Beer Debuts In Australia

Haven't had the Australian carrot beer, but I have had Fonta Flora's carrot beer, http://www.beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/33145/153574/, which is delicious.

 

Never had a carrot beer but I've had the beet beer that Magic Hat does - definitely not my favorite. I've never been one to eat my veggies so I'd probably skip it.

 

I don't think I would like it, but I have to admit I'm curious how it tastes.

 

I had a carrot beer from one of our local breweries. I really enjoyed it.

 

I would like to try one. If done right, a carrot inspired beer could be incredible. Emphasis on the IF.

 

Speaking of beet beers, this surprised the hell out of me. Smells like a Kriek, taste is like a kriek, but a bit more earthy/ vegetal. Worth trying

Sounds pretty interesting actually. I'll keep an eye out for it.

 

In general, what do you think about beets? I've never had em on their own or in a dish, but my inexperience with em led me to get this beet kombucha. Was the best kombucha I ever had. Perfect balance of sweet and earthy that I enjoy. Everyone I've talked to that has had them say they taste like dirt. Maybe I like the taste of dirt.

 

Interesting. Ive made a gluten free hombrew with the base being carrots and quinoa. The sugar can be brought out in them just as a grain would. It was odd, but if i ever get my hands on this ^^^^ id like to try it. To see it done professionally instead of by myself, trying to make beer out of anything and everything to see what works.

 

I like the taste of dirt lol. Ex; Fresh potatoes, catfish. Beer dirt? Awesome.

 

One of the best beers I've had in the past month was a carrot cake inspired brew from Jailbreak in MD. I would love to see more carrot options on the market, I was really surprised at how well it worked.
