New Avenues Blend #1 was born of the loving, philanthropic spirit of our industry. The pFriem team was delighted and honored to act as host brewery for Brews for New Avenues in August of 2018. In the process, we became better acquainted with the New Avenues for Youth team, and the exciting programs and services for youths experiencing or at-risk of homelessness which they provide. Inspired to contribute, pFriem donated an exclusive blending session to the silent auction. In January of 2019, we sat down with eight altruistic craft beer lovers and samples from all over our barrelhouse. Oude Kriek, Pêche, Bosbessen, Pruim, Druif Blanc, La Mure, Frambozen, Druif Rouge and many more filled our table. In the end, we settled on a jammy blend of berry-based beverages and a barrel of young, clean lambic-inspired ale. The final mélange consisted of four parts Lambic-inspired base, three parts Frambozen, one part La Mure and one part Druif Blanc. The result is a dry, fruity, funky, flavor fest for a cause!
