I don’t pretend to understand the ways of the average South Australian: A creature that by all fundamental measurements is technically human, but by all spiritual and behavioural traits is clearly not. The way they speak? Absurd. The names they call things? Preposterous. The things they eat? Utter lunacy. And yet they exist as their own self-sustaining society, cut off from the rest of the country by protective hills and wild, untamed rings of parkland. Remarkable.
In possibly the most South Australian move of all time, the state’s native dish FruChocs is making the leap to the world of beverages thanks to a new beer being brewed up in time for a state-wide holiday in honour of the local confectionary.

Adelaide-based Big Shed Brewing today announced the release of the limited-run BruChocs, reportedly a “hearty chocolate stout” infused with the signature “Fru,” which I’m lead to believe is the signature apricot/peach heart of the traditional FruChoc itself.
The brewery has been pumping bottles and kegs of the beer off the production line ahead of the planned FruChocs Appreciation Day celebrations tomorrow, and thirsty South Australians will be able to get around as much of the malty delight they can until supplies run out.
The festively fruity brew is available from tomorrow across a raft of outlets in Adelaide and beyond (but only in SA state lines), and a handful of pubs in the Adelaide region are even getting the special beer in kegs, would you believe.
If you’re drifting through Adelaide tomorrow, you can find out about their wholly unique FruChoc-based celebrations via the FruChocs Appreciation Day Facebook event here.
Honestly? BruChocs sounds delish. Would tuck into a frosty (imperial) pint of it.
