One time I had this homemade, tropical shaved ice in Hawaii that was so delicious, it squeezed my brain. 

Jam-packed with nectarous fruit, it felt like I bit into a ripe strawberry and chased it down with a lemonade slushy.

I could feel the neurons pulsing inside my head.  

And, I thought I’d have to endure another 17-hour flight to ever capture that feeling again. 

Thank god I was wrong! Turns out I’d only have to trek to Fargo.

Today we linked up with the U.S. Open Beer Champs at Drekker. They’re a little weird, a little crazy, and a lot about pushing the limits of what great craft beer can be. And the best thing about them? They created a beer that transported me to the same tropical creamsicle euphoria I’d experienced in Hawaii. 

So when today’s Brain Squeeze: Strawberry/Lemon arrives at your door, please don’t forget about your friends. They need to try this! I wish everyone who loves fruit smoothies could get a taste. 

To make this one-of-a-kind treat, Drekker hoists in 30 lbs per barrel of plump strawberries and tangy lemons. That’s almost triple the amount used in an average Fruit Sour! 

Then, the brewery adds 4 pounds of vanilla beans, not the run-of-the-mill dried up kind either, we’re talking about the highest quality,  most flavorsome kind, straight from Madagascar. 

Drekker blends the vanilla-kissed fruit with a massive 10 lbs of lactose per barrel, resulting in an extra creamy Jamba Juice-like experience with a tart fruitiness that’s tamed by the massive additions of vanilla-milk sugar. 

You know the difference between a Slurpee from 7-Eleven and a soft, smooth, quality-made Hawaiian shaved ice. Be picky. Pick today’s Brain Squeeze Strawberry Lemonade.
