Attention hipsters dreaming of opening the next artisanal jams and jellies shop: THERE’S NO NEED. 

Your grain-free, paleo, protein products are just too much for me. Besides, I’ve found the key to satisfying a baker’s dozen-worth of fruit preserve cravings — today’s Operation Plowshare from Urban Artifact. 

The inventive Cincinnati brewers loaded every barrel with over 80 lbs of blackberries and real vanilla beans. It’s the Sour Ale equivalent of a jar of berry jam made into a milkshake! 

I’ll take a sweet and tangy Smoothie Sour from the US Open Beer Championship Silver medalists over an ordinary fruit spread any day! Especially when it comes with a buzz-inducing 8% ABV. 

Because, I can get a good jar of jam anywhere, but a jammy smoothie beer — that’s a real find!
