Five Shores Brewing’s Precious Cargo Fruited IPA
Bottoms Up
By Craig Manning | Sept. 27, 2025
Are you ready for the last sip of summer? We aren’t either. Fortunately, Five Shores Brewing out in Beulah has one of those beers that can make Earth’s most glorious season last a little bit longer. Meet the Precious Cargo, a flagship since Five Shores launched back in 2020, and a beer that can fairly be described as “warm weather in a glass.” It’s the rare fruited IPA that doesn’t drown in cloying sweetness. Instead, Five Shores loaded this brew up with hops and with a Norwegian yeast they say “pumps up the hops” even further. Post-fermentation, the brewers add in mango juice and strawberry and mango puree. The result is sublime, exploding with all the crisp, refreshing hoppy notes you want from a summer IPA, but adding the sweet freshness of fruits that also capture the season. Grab a pint at 163 S Benzie Blvd in Beulah. fiveshoresbrewing.com
