Why don't we use ordinary farm-grown blueberries in BluCreek™ Blueberry Ale? Because wild blueberries have grown naturally for thousands of years, and we think they taste better because of this (they're also smaller and sweeter). Maine blueberries grow wild in the rugged, rocky ancient glacier fields of Maine far away from most people, and we prefer the taste of these purer, unique blueberries.

Wild Blueberries are different from commercially farmed berries in other ways too. They are generally smaller in size, more intensely blue, firmer in texture (living in the wild makes them a little tougher!), and are sweeter and tangier than other blueberries.

Since we put only the best things in our beer, we made sure to use the best available blueberries, the wild ones. We hope you like the taste of wild blueberries from the State of Maine as much as we do. We also hope you agree- wild blueberries make BluCreek™ Blueberry Ale better!
