We will keep bringing different ingredients together to create more refreshing beers in the future.”

Featuring the newly designed brand packaging, Redd’s Black Cherry Ale will maintain the same crisp and refreshing taste fans have come to know and love. Redd’s Black Cherry Ale joins Blueberry Ale and Raspberry Ale, two delicious flavors released early in the year, in the Redd’s family of beers.

Redd’s Black Cherry Ale will be available at most grocery and convenience stores in 6-pack 12-ounce bottles, 16-ounce cans and in the variety pack.
