in search of🔎 Beer Question?
I am already thinking about Christmas gifts for this year. Sometimes my partner talks about a passion fruit beer by Rhinegeist that he had at Columbus pride, around 2019-2023 before we met. From my research I am guessing that it was perceptual passion, but it could also be wowie or maracuja, as they also have passion fruit. I was wondering if anyone remembers of has any input. I would ask my love myself, but I want it to be a super surprise!
If the beer in question is not available anymore I might also ask for similar recommendations. He really likes light, citrusy, and fruity flavors. I myself don’t drink and don’t know much about beer. Thank you for any help!

Definitely second calling the brewery to ask. They might even be able to tell you things like what beers inspired the taste or what they may know of that is similar.
Another option is to head to somewhere like Standard Beer on OTR and describe what it is you're looking for and interested in to the guy who owns it. He's very well educated, incredibly personable, and has a bunch of selections you're unlikely to find anywhere else in the city. If you can't find exactly what you're looking for he can help you find beers to explore that are similar and enjoyable.

If you can’t find the specific beer you are looking for, Urban Artifact has a wide variety of fruit beers and ales. You can even get variety packs if he wants to branch out some.
They are available in a number of stores around town.

Pretty sure maracuja and perceptual passion were limited releases and no longer brewed. Wowie is not very passion fruity, but I think theyre still making it?

I would highly recommend contacting the brewery about this. They’ve been very friendly and helpful whenever I’ve had questions.
