Bush Shack Brewery Introduces New Avocado Beer



AUSTRALIA - Sure you’ve maybe had a hard cider or a fruit beer or two, but have you had an Avocado Beer? If this sounds as amazing to you as it does to me, you might just want to catch a quick plane to the other side of the world—Australia.

An Australian brewery located just south of Perth has taken their local fruit, the avocado, and turned it into a beer thats getting rave reviews throughout the region.

This isn't the first fruit-flavored beer that owner and operator of Bush Shack Brewery, Danial Wind, has created either. A peek at the brewer’s menu reveals a Chili Beer, a Strawberry Blonde beer that uses real strawberries, and a Twisted Lemon Larger that uses real lemons.

Brewer Danial Wind and his Avocado Beer

Wind’s avocado experiment, however, came courtesy of his state's inaugural Avocado Festival last month. After receiving great reactions from his customers, a bigger batch was planned and the brewery received 161 avocados from a local grower. 

"We've been going through a keg of it a week here," Wind explained to Australian news source ABC News. "Based on peer group pressure and public opinion we will be making more of it."

The avocados give a bitter and more subtle hoppy flavor to the beer, while also maintaining a smooth and creamy finish, but Wind says even with all the beer’s success, he still expects it to remain a niche product.

"I don't see it as being a beer that people would drink every day," Mr Wind said. "It is very full in flavour and most of your every-day beer drinkers prefer something a bit lighter in flavour." 

Could this be your new favorite way to up your fruit intake? You might need to take a trip to Australia to find out.
