Strawberry Beer Popsicles Just for the Adults

Summer is a fantastic time for those of us who love beer. Summer ales, session IPAs, and backyard keg parties are all around us. The weekends are filled with tubs of iced-down beer, and the heat is the perfect excuse to enjoy.

With an abundance of produce packing our markets, boozing up some of that delicious summer fruit is just a great idea. Beer popsicles are simple to throw together the day before a party and so much fun to serve.

Keep your eyes on these, they are for the grown-ups only. If you’re worried about mixing up the kid pops and adult ones, use different colored popsicle sticks to keep them separate. (Although I have no idea how you keep your uncle from eating all 10 in one sitting. You’re on your own for that one.)
