Grapefruit Caipirinha Ale Popsicles

I decided to turn my favorite Brazilian cocktail the Caipirinha into refreshing summer popsicles. The Caipirinha is Brazil’s national cocktail and contains cachaca a liquor made from sugar cane. The classic Caipirinha contains lime, sugar, and cachaca. In my version, I added Super Rad ale which is brewed with grapefruit and grapefruit juice for a refreshing and tart twist. Super Rad ale comes from a local brewery here in Seattle called Epic Ales. They were founded in 2009 and are noted for providing a new adventure in beer drinking. I like that their beer philosophy is “Every possibility is conceivable.” They offer very creative and unique beers which makes these gems great for beer cocktails or boozy popsicles. Super Rad ale is 5.3% ABV and 25 IBU is super dry, lightly tart, and fruity. For this specific ale, they took a classic farmhouse ale and added a whole grapefruit. This explains why the beer is tart and not super sweet because the whole entire grapefruit was used in the brewing process. If you can’t find Epic Ales in your area try any kind of fruity beer and cool your summer off with these lovely popsicles.
