Fruit Beers in 2025: Why They’re Taking Over and The Best Ones to Try

Forget the days when “beer” meant a pint of bitter or a heavy stout. In 2025, the fastest-growing trend is fruit-forward brewing. Bright, refreshing, and packed with flavour, fruit beers are winning over a new generation of drinkers — and sales are proving it.

Why Fruit Beer is Booming

• Gen Z’s flavour-first mindset: Younger drinkers are opting for lighter, vibrant tastes like peach, mango, and grapefruit over traditional bitters. Tesco reported a 250% surge in fruit beer sales year-on-year, showing just how fast demand is growing.

• Lower ABV appeal: Most fruit beers sit around 2.5%–5% ABV, making them sessionable and appealing to health-minded drinkers who are already embracing “zebra-striping” (alternating alcoholic and alcohol-free drinks).

• Instagram factor: Let’s be honest — pink grapefruit radlers and blood orange wheat beers just look cooler in a glass than a flat pint of bitter.
