To complement its line of best-selling Not Your Father's Root Beer products, Small Town Brewery is introducing a new line of Not Your Mom's brews.
This new line of beer puts a focus on comforting, fresh and summery all-American flavors like Strawberry Rhubarb and Apple Pie, as well as Iced Tea. The brewery notes that "The idea for Not Your Mom's was driven by consumer demand for fruit and tea flavors, which currently place within the top three most popular flavors across craft beer, cider and FMBs."
These fruit-flavored craft beer products are branded in a way that feels homespun and straight from the kitchen, but with an alcoholic twist. As a range of dessert-inspired beers, the sweet alcohol can be consumed straight out of the bottle or served as part of a decadent ice cream float.
