Blueberry Ale

Pumphouse Brewery

5% Alcohol

A tractor trailer full of fresh New Brunswick blueberries, haulin’ ass and guzzlin’ gas. Straight from The Pumphouse in Moncton to my beer fridge. A ton of blue fruit fun, for my one and done. * I’ve got a very merry brewberry Blueberry blonde to pour and score tonight.

We all know the substantial health benefits that blueberries can provide us. Antioxidants, managing blood pressure, enhancing brain function, to name a few. Their “superfood” nickname is well earned. But if you’re concerned about being too healthy or enhancing your brain function too much, have no fear. We all know the substantial health benefits that beer has. But if you do want to get smarter, you’ve come to the right website. The unhelpful hints and questionable advice in The COMDB Guide to Getting Smarter is all the advice you’ll ever want on the subject.

Time to do this blue brew that’s not blue, it’s a golden hue, with a nice white crop top too. A blueberry nose, that’s it, that’s all. The first taste is that transport truck full of blueberries, crushed, squeezed and compressed into 473 mL of brewberry. Couple that with mild malt body, a mild bitters finish, and berry and bitters aftertaste. A tisket, a tasket, lots more than a basket, it’s a field full of blueberries in this Berry basket brew.

The KISS principle (Keep it subtle sudsmaster) is not in play today. It is what it says it is, and that is BLUEBERRY ale. For lovers of Vaccinium caesariense, your beer is here.

*Editor’s Comment: A tractor trailer full of blueberries would actually be 70,000 short tons of the fruit. Based on an estimated 225 berries per pound that would be 31.5 million blueberries. New Brunswick produces as much as 85 million pounds of blueberries each year.
