Hoppy Lei – Craft Beer Cocktail
On a visit to the Westmalle Trappist Café, I discovered the beer cocktail on their menu. Tripel with grenadine? This was a surprise at first, but when I thought about the concept—a Berliner Weisse is commonly served with a little woodruff or raspberry syrup—it’s not so strange. This craft beer cocktails is an easy way to add a little island feel to your luau at home or party, by adding the flavors of passion fruit, vanilla and coconut with the Belgian IPA‘s flavor profile.
