“We love our fruited wheat beers, and it is especially rewarding for us to see people’s faces light up when they know we have Downside Up. It’s a rabid fan-favorite, and it makes the pains we go to in making it all the more worthwhile. We start by making a beer with a majority of white wheat malt, and while we have some hops for a very light bittering and balance, it is very much akin to what most would call a “wheatwine.” Once that beer is done, it becomes our perfect canvas upon which we can let brewer/owner Tony do his magic. Tony, as many know, is the brilliant mind behind Manic Meadery and their amazing meads, wines, and ciders – and if you know those beverages, you know the fruit game that makes them is second-to-none. And so it is with our fruited wheat beers, and with Downside Up – the pineapple, vanilla, and cherry are folded in with the big, wheaty base to create….well, liquited pineapple upside down cake! “
