You have me curious where you are? In St. Charles, a local Microbrewery
called Trailhead Brewing Company makes a Raspberry brew I am fond of,
and like yours, theirs has some kick on a good batch. They also make a
Pumpkin Beer every fall that is annually their best selling seasonal.
At least three competing breweries took notice and now make their own,
including AB (AB/InBev). Yes, their research department noticed the
success of the three microbrews, and have specifically acknowledged
Trailhead.
