Once, a group of traveling brewers happened upon a mysterious fruit orchard. “These are pawpaws,” said a farmer, who appeared out of nowhere. “Aged on a blonde sour ale, they’ll add notes of mango, tangy passion fruit, and pineapple, all with a dry finish.” So the brewers did, and so it did. When they brought a bottle back to thank the farmer, the orchard had disappeared. In its place was only a note: “Cheers!”
