Production & Heritage

Unseen Creatures Brewing & Blending operates out of Miami, Florida, with a focus on oak barrel-aged, mixed-fermentation wild and sour beers that rely on local ingredients and microflora. The brewery's approach is rooted in the farmhouse traditions of Belgium and France but intentionally untethered from rigid style requirements. Berry Is On Top undergoes fermentation using locally foraged yeast and bacteria cultures — a signature practice at Unseen Creatures — and is brewed with a trio of berries: blueberry, raspberry, and strawberry. This combination of wild fermentation and generous fruit additions places the beer squarely in the modern American fruited sour tradition while retaining a sense of terroir specific to South Florida.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Ripe mixed berries lead immediately, with raspberry and strawberry especially prominent. Behind the fruit sits a subtle earthy, lactic tartness characteristic of mixed-fermentation brewing.

Taste: The palate opens with bright berry sweetness — blueberry richness balanced by the sharper tang of raspberry. Mid-palate, the wild yeast character emerges, introducing a dry, funky complexity that prevents the fruit from reading as one-dimensional. Strawberry rounds out the profile with a softer, jammy quality as the beer warms slightly.

Finish: Crisp and tart with moderate acidity that cleanses the palate efficiently. Lingering berry fruit and a whisper of wild fermentation funk carry through the close.

How to Drink Berry Is On Top

Serve cold, ideally around 40–45°F, in a tulip glass or stemmed wine glass to concentrate the aromatics. This beer is built to drink fresh, and the fruit expression is at its peak when the cans are young. For cocktail-adjacent serves, Berry Is On Top works well in a Berliner Weisse Spritz, where its natural tartness replaces citrus with berry-forward acidity. It pairs effectively in a Sour Shandy, mixed with lemonade for a refreshing warm-weather drink that amplifies the fruit. It also makes a compelling base for a Beer Mimosa, topped with a small measure of sparkling wine to add effervescence and elegance to brunch service.

Best For

• Introducing craft beer drinkers to the world of mixed-fermentation sours

Why Berry Is On Top?

What separates Berry Is On Top from the crowded field of American fruited sours is its fermentation pedigree. Unseen Creatures does not take shortcuts with kettle souring; the brewery's use of locally foraged wild yeast and bacteria gives each release a character tied to its environment in a way few other Florida breweries attempt. The triple-berry blend of blueberry, raspberry, and strawberry provides immediate drinkability, but the mixed-fermentation backbone adds layers of earthy complexity that reward attention. At 6% ABV, it strikes a balance between depth and sessionability that makes it equally suited to a slow afternoon pour or a deep-dive tasting alongside the brewery's barrel-aged offerings.
