Luxardo® Maraschino Cherries are a far cry from the neon-red orbs that insinuate their way into mundane mixed drinks. Their deep ruby-black color, intensely exotic flavor, and rich fruit aroma make Luxardo® Maraschino Cherries an ideal garnish for a truly artisanal cocktail. So we wondered what they could do for a handcrafted ale, our Zymaster Series No. 8: Luxardo® Cherry Ale.

The real magic takes place in our cellars where—rather than dry-hopping this ale—we age Zymaster 8 on a bed of these magnificent cherries. The result is a uniquely complex brew that offers the perfect balance between sweetness and tartness, with depth of flavor, tantalizing aroma, ruddy complexion, and a luxuriantly dry finish.
