Ahhh, Blueberry beer.

When July rolls around, one of my favorite styles of beer to found from microbrewers all over is a wheat or pilsner brewed with blueberries.

It's not easy to brew good fruit beer - goodness knows there are plenty of bad ones out there: overly sweet, all fruit and no beer taste, etc. I had a peach beer once that smelled and tasted like a compost pile, for example. Blueberries seem to be brew-friendly, and I rarely meet a blueberry beer I don't like. One of my faves is the 1 Ton Blueberry Ale from 3rd Street Aleworks in Santa Rosa. Other notables include Wachuesset Blueberry, Marin Brewing, and Boston Beer Works. Celebrate the summer with a tasty bluebeery pint!
