About this beer

450 North Brewing Co.’s Grandpappy Purple is a delightfully vibrant fruited ale, clocking in at 5.9% ABV. The beer is brewed with strawberry, pomegranate, and blackberry, resulting in a flavor profile dominated by bright, juicy fruitiness balanced by a subtle malt backbone. The label showcases whimsical artwork of a half-filled, oversized, retro-style cup brimming with purple liquid and scattered with fresh strawberries and blackberries, set against a bright pink backdrop. It is a 16-ounce can, and the label explicitly instructs to “DRINK COLD, FRESH FRUIT IN THIS BEER,” indicating generous fruit additions throughout the brewing process.

The beer's name, coupled with the image, evokes a nostalgic sweetness, hinting at the classic purple flavors of a blended fruit drink. Beyond the core fruits, the ingredients list details the use of malted barley and hops, but the emphasis is decidedly on the fresh fruit puree that contributes to the beer’s intensely fruity character. It is categorized as a sour ale, further suggesting a refreshing tartness complementing the sweetness of the berries and pomegranate.
