When most people think of blueberries they think of tarts or perhaps blueberry pie. But at Alley Kat when we think of blueberries, we think beer. So when owner Neil Herbst was approached by Canadian Fruitful Great for the patio season! This easy-to-drink blueberry infused wheat beer is guaranteed to refresh on those sunny days and warm night of summer. We make this beer with over 50% wheat malt and fresh blueberries form the west coast. he result is a light bodied, blueberry infused, thirst-quenching beer. Come by the brewery and try it today. Contains water, malt, hops, yeast, blueberries and natural blueberry extract. Tree Company with samples of B.C. blueberry puree he thought Summer Seasonal 2010.I've wanted to brew another fruit beer besides our tremendously popular Aprikat apricot ale” says co-owner Neil Herbst. Thus started the process of small trial batches and many staff samplings to achieve the perfect balance between the underlying beer and the blueberry fruit flavour.To name the new beer, we launched a contest via our Facebook fan page to name the new summer seasonal beer. Fans sent us dozens of creative, and some slightly bizarre names for our new beer, such as Blueberry Katnip Ale and Blue Suede Booze. The winner was “Brewberry”. And thus was born our 2010 Summer Seasonal, Brewberry blueberry ale. Brewberry blueberry ale is a wheat ale that is brewed with an addition of blueberries to the fermented beer. The result is a light straw colour ale with a very slight purple cast from the blueberries and carries a thick white head. The aroma is of fresh blueberries and this follows through to the flavour. The finish is fairly dry and slightly tart. All-in-all, a great patio beer for those sunny Alberta summer days. Brewberry blueberry ale is sold in six packs of 341 ml bottles and is available at premium liquor stores and select pubs throughout the province.
