That being said I love wild blue it truly is a beer made for non beer drinkers if that makes any sense. If you buy a six pack expecting a true beer flavor you will undoubtedly be disappointed, however if you go in knowing that this isn't a beer that is made in the usual way with the usual flavor I think you will be pleasantly surprised! I highly recommend wild blue! I’m not a beer drinker, as a matter of fact I generally would rather lick the bottom of a bums shoe than willing drink a beer.

I don't really like beer so this was a great find. The alcohol does sneak up on you though. To appreciate this brew, I think one has to let go of one's normal perceptions of beer. It's Yummy!

I was at the store where I bought the above bottle yesterday and was strangely tempted to grab another bottle for the hell of it but couldn't bring myself to do so. I completely understand the confusion you refer to...it really is one strange beverage, more of an alcopop than a beer and not something one will enjoy if they are expecting proper beer, but at the same time a quite tasty drink in an almost perverse way and as you illustrated a beer that a nonbeer drinker would likely enjoy and be oblivious to the fact that the are drinking beer as well as the sheer alcoholic content. Cheers! P.S. That's some very cool art work you create Always glad to hear about people sampling new brews.

I was skeptical when I heard "blueberry beer," because I'm really not into fruity drinks/beers, but at 8% alcohol I thought I'd give it a try. It took me about half an hour of complete taste-confusion to realize it was goddamn awesome. Yeah, it was sweet, and it's nothing close to what I typically like in a beer (I'm a fan of porters and other beers that are so thick and bitter you could cut them with a knife). Keeping an open mind, I ended up deciding Wild Blue is pretty damn acceptable stuff. The sweetness of the blueberry flavor was shocking at first, but it didn’t stick with me forever like the awfulness that is Mike’s Hard anything. I’d taste it, then the lager-y flavor kicked in and the sweet went away. I wasn’t haunted by blueberry all night. It also didn’t have that I’m-totally-gonna-kick-your-ass-and-we-both-know-it taste that a lot of high-alcohol content beers have, so it seems to have a tendency to sneak up on ya — but in a very good way. So yeah, Wild Blue. I totally get why it got terrible reviews, but I think it’s surprisingly decent. You just can’t drink it expecting it to be, well, beer. If I ever have a friend over who claims to not like beer, Wild Blue might be a good gateway drink. And damn, you would NEVER know it’s 8% alcohol if it didn’t say so on the bottle, and then proceed to knock you flat on your ass. Never in a million years.

If you enjoy this stuff perhaps you will enjoy the beer that Town Hall Brewery is releasing today called Winterberry. Obviously I haven't had the opportunity to try it yet but it is a blueberry ale and they tend to make good brews. Might want to check it out. Glad it worked out for you :) .

Yeah, I'll check some of the other better liquour stores to see if I can locate it. Sinful is now out (and man that stuff is good LOL).

This particular bottle I bought at <a href="http://www.sinfulwine.com/" rel="nofollow">Sinful Wine & Spirits</a> in Bloomington a very nice family run store that hosts a myriad of tasting events. I'm pretty sure I saw some on the shelves at Big Top Liquors in St. Paul and it is probably stocked at a number of other places because it is made by Anheuser Busch. Absolutely.
