Production & Heritage

Drekker Brewing Company operates out of Fargo, North Dakota, and has built a devoted following for its boundary-pushing fruited sours and smoothie-style releases. This particular beer uses a kettle-souring process, where the wort is acidified before the boil using lactobacillus culture, then receives massive fruit and pastry additions — strawberry, blueberry, kiwi, orange, cream cheese frosting flavoring, and sugar cookies. The result is a dessert-forward sour that reads like an actual fruit pizza in liquid form. What makes this release especially distinctive is the absence of lactose; Drekker achieves its dense, creamy mouthfeel purely through fruit load and adjunct additions, making it accessible to those who avoid dairy-derived ingredients in their beer.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Ripe strawberry dominates the nose immediately, followed by a distinct cream cheese frosting sweetness and a biscuity, sugar cookie warmth underneath. A faint citrus lift from the orange rounds out the aromatics.

Taste: The palate opens with a burst of mixed berry fruit — strawberry and blueberry leading — before kiwi and orange add a tangy, tropical brightness at the mid-palate. The sweetness is moderate rather than overwhelming, balanced by a gentle lactic tartness. Cream cheese and sugar cookie flavors emerge on the back end, giving the sip a convincing pastry-shop quality.

Finish: Short to medium in length with a smooth, almost velvety texture that coats the palate. Lingering impressions of frosted sugar cookie and berry sweetness fade cleanly without cloying residual sugar.

How to Drink Sacrifice of Fruit Pizza

Pour cold — ideally around 38–42°F — into a tulip glass or wide-mouth snifter to capture the full aromatic intensity. This beer is best enjoyed fresh rather than cellared, as the fruit vibrancy and pastry character are at their peak close to the packaging date. It works as a standalone dessert course, a brunch companion alongside waffles or French toast, or as a palate-resetting contrast to spicy or savory dishes.

Best For

• Sharing with friends who claim they don't like sour beer
• Dessert course replacement at a dinner gathering
• Weekend brunch alongside egg dishes or pastries
• Trading or gifting among craft beer enthusiasts who collect Drekker releases

What foods pair well with Sacrifice of Fruit Pizza? Fresh fruit tarts and cheesecake mirror its dessert character; Belgian waffles and French toast complement its brunch-friendly profile; spicy Thai or Korean dishes benefit from its cooling sweetness; a charcuterie board with soft cheeses like brie or mascarpone echoes the cream cheese element.

What sizes does Sacrifice of Fruit Pizza come in? Drekker typically packages its fruited sour releases in 16 oz cans, often sold in single cans or limited four-packs depending on the release.

Is Sacrifice of Fruit Pizza worth the price?

Why Sacrifice of Fruit Pizza?

The lactose-free formulation is the headline here. In a category where nearly every thick, smoothie-textured sour relies on milk sugar for body and sweetness, Drekker and The Brewing Projekt achieve comparable richness through sheer fruit density and adjunct layering alone. That distinction matters for drinkers who are lactose-intolerant or simply prefer a cleaner fermentation profile. With a 4.2 rating on Untappd across nearly 1,800 reviews, it has earned genuine consumer enthusiasm — not through hype alone, but because the beer genuinely delivers on its ambitious fruit-pizza concept in a way that tastes intentional rather than gimmicky.
