Casey Funky Blender: Cherry 75 Cl.

Casey Brewing & Blending is one of the most sought-after names in the American farmhouse scene, and every blend that leaves their Glenwood Springs, Colorado cellar tells a story of patience, careful selection, and deep respect for fruit. Funky Blender Preserves is their most indulgent line — beers that smell of homemade preserves, of summer sealed in a jar — and this Raspberry + Blackberry + Danube Cherry edition ranks among the most memorable. A 3-barrel blend of spontaneously fermented Farmhouse Ale, in which each fruit plays a precise and irreplaceable role. On the nose, red and purple raspberries dominate — fresh, intense, almost jam-like — with an aromatic presence that stops you in your tracks. The body is thick and enveloping, enriched by blackberry, which adds depth and a dark, velvety layer to the overall structure. Rounding out the finish are the Danube cherries, a sour and wild variety that delivers a precise, refreshing burst of acidity in the closing moments, balancing the fruit's sweetness with rare elegance. The result is a beer that genuinely evokes an artisan preserve in the glass: layered, juicy, with an acidity that doesn't attack but accompanies. Casey notes this will be the last raspberry blend currently in process — reason enough not to let it pass you by.
