The 2025 version of 1 in 36 is here. Our blue raspberry milkshake IPA with a bit heavier ABV this year to stand up to all that raspberry goodness. 1 in 36 represents the incidence of autism in US children. This beer was brewed to aid the JT Fortin Foundation; so raise a pint and help us enrich the lives of those affected by autism. This beer contains lactose, blue spirulina and sulfites.

Brewery draught, 7/4/25.
Blue raspberry looking (from the spirulina), mostly clear, maybe a bit of glassiness. Small, off-white head.
Nose is piquant raspberry, almost tart, with a good hop bitterness on the finish showing pine and grapefruit. Lactose pretty low here, which is nice. Nothing weird going on (which is kind of shocking, honestly), and it's not sweet.
Indeed it mimics the nose with a shocking dryness, good hoppiness and fruity and acidic raspberry that seems nearly fully fermented out. It retains a medium body, with decent depth. Not really milkshakey and not enough lactose to make it creamy, which is fine with me. Quite hoppy. Seems they've improved the recipe a good deal from last year.
