49 Raspberry Wheat - Community Beer Works

After an unexpected month-long break, Brian Campbell from the Buffalo Beer League is back with a brand-new edition of The Best Beer I Drank This Week. And this time, he’s holding onto summer a little longer with Raspberry Wheat from Community Beer Works. At 4.9% ABV, this wheat ale brewed with raspberries is light, crisp, and bursting with ripe berry flavor. Pouring a beautiful bright red, it’s refreshing, crushable, and the perfect beer to keep summer vibes alive—even as the days start getting shorter. Brian shares his tasting notes, why he prefers this release over CBW’s Sicilian Lemon Pils, and his long-standing love for the brewery’s adjuncted beers like Grapefruit Let’s Go Pils. He also reflects on why beers like Raspberry Wheat remind him not to rush out of the warmer months just yet.
