Fruit and vegetable beer

Fruit and vegetable beers are a variety of mixed beer blended with a fermentable fruit or vegetable adjunct during the fermentation process, providing new qualities.

Fruits have been a popular adjunct for centuries, especially with Belgian lambic styles. Cherry, raspberry, and peach are a common addition to this style of beer. Modern breweries may add only flavored extracts to the finished product, rather than actually fermenting the fruit. New Glarus Brewing Company of Wisconsin produces Raspberry Tart, a framboise made with raspberries, wheat and year old Hallertau hops, and fermented in large oak vats. Another example is brewed by Magic Hat Brewing Company of Vermont. Magic Hat '#9' is quite popular in the northeast and is a 'not-quite-pale ale' flavored with apricots.

Green chile ale is an aromatic, dry, and peppery beer dryhopped with roasted chiles. One of the most popular American chile brews is produced by Eske's (aka Sangre de Cristo Brewing) in Taos, New Mexico. Eske's "Taos Green Chile Beer" is made with New Mexico roasted green chiles. Black Mountain Brewing Company in Cave Creek, Arizona, brews "Cave Creek Chili Beer", the only internationally marketed chile beer.

Also popular in fall months are pumpkin flavored beers, such as those produced by Coors Brewing Company's Blue Moon brand.

Anheuser-Busch brews Tequiza, a beer flavored with tequila from blue agave cacti nectar. Desperados is a tequila flavored beer popular among German youth.
