I imagine that if they did then they&#39;d have been clear about it, so they probably get the raspberry flavour into the beer in a less romantic manner &#8211; perhaps by adding juice. Labelling like this always leaves me feeling like the brewer has tried to con me with their carefully chosen words, which is a shame as it&#39;s a good beer.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/justthesam.com\/wp-content\/tp\/6a00e5550e015888340120a5cc3c49970c\" onclick=\"window.open( this.href, &#39;_blank&#39;, &#39;width=640,height=480,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,toolbar=no,directories=no,location=no,menubar=no,status=no,left=0,top=0&#39; ); return false\" style=\"display: inline;\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"LongDays\" class=\"at-xid-6a00e5550e015888340120a5cc3c49970c \" src=\"http:\/\/justthesam.com\/wp-content\/tp\/6a00e5550e015888340120a5cc3c49970c-350wi\" style=\"width: 350px; \" \/><\/a> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Long Days has a hint of raspberry to make an interesting summer brew.
