Production & Heritage

Drekker Brewing Company operates out of Fargo, North Dakota, and has built a devoted following around its PRRRT series of smoothie sour ales—thick, heavily fruited beers that blur the line between beverage and dessert. What So Proudly We PRRRT uses a base sour ale conditioned on a generous blend of blueberry, raspberry, tart cherry, pineapple, and lime, yielding an intensely fruity, almost puréed texture. The brewery has described this particular release as one of the most refined summer entries in their PRRRT lineup, reflecting years of iterating on the smoothie sour format.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Bright tart cherry and raspberry jam hit first, followed by a tropical layer of pineapple and citrusy lime zest. A subtle blueberry sweetness rounds out the nose, giving the impression of a freshly blended fruit smoothie.

Taste: The entry is immediately tart and puckery, with tart cherry and raspberry dominating the front palate. Mid-palate, pineapple and lime emerge with a tropical brightness, balanced by blueberry sweetness that tempers the acidity. The overall effect is strikingly reminiscent of a rocket pop—moderately sweet and equally tart, with each fruit remaining identifiable.

Finish: The finish is smooth with a moderate-to-heavy mouthfeel that clings to the palate, maintaining that thick, smoothie-like body. Lingering tartness from the cherry and lime fades gradually, leaving behind a clean berry sweetness.

How to Drink What So Proudly We PRRRT

Pour cold into a tulip glass or wide-mouth tumbler to appreciate the thick, murky, blood-red pour and signature pink head. This beer is best enjoyed fresh and straight from the can or glass—no garnish or additions necessary, as the fruit does all the heavy lifting. For a playful twist, use it as the sour component in a Berliner Weisse-style shandy blended with lemonade on a hot day. It also works surprisingly well as a beer float base paired with vanilla ice cream, leaning into the rocket pop character. A fruited radler built with sparkling water and a squeeze of fresh lime extends the sessionability without diluting the fruit intensity.
