No hop varieties are published for this beer in the newly located bottle list. The Blendery program's general reference to aged hops does not establish this beer's hop bill, so the hops array remains empty.

Style Context

As category context only, the Brewers Association guideline for Belgian-Style Fruit Beer calls for 2.5 to 12.0 percent ABV, 5 to 30 IBU and 5 to 50 SRM, with fruit aromas ranging from subtle to intense. The published strength fits the cited range; bitterness remains unverified.

Research Notes

  • Field pass 2026-10-13: The brewery's 2nd and PCH page now renders the exact Montmorency Cherry variant and supplies ABV. That taproom and bottle list serves as beer url because no dedicated beer page was found. IBU and hop varieties are not published for this entry.
  • The online shop lists five Blendery sours (Pear-anormal, Strawberry Provence, Little Secrets, Kriek, Umeboshi); none is this beer.
  • The old beachwoodbbq.com domain fails its certificate check; the brewery now uses beachwoodbrewing.com.
  • The web search budget ran out before Untappd or press could be searched for specs.
  • Researched 2026-10-13.
  • Second pass 2026-10-13: Searches found the exact cherry variant in Beachwood's 2nd and PCH menu index, but that page repeatedly timed out. The opened Toast page did not expose the cherry listing. No specifications were accepted from search snippets; structured fields remain empty.
  • Deep dive pass 2026-10-14: the brewery menu gives the style and blend; ABV 6.5, IBU blank.
