Our Tastes-- Blue Moon


Blue Moon is a smooth belgian "white" as it states on the label. This brew is made with malt, wheat and oats leaving much of the proteins and yeast suspended to give it an awesome cloudiness. It has a very distinct nose and did I mention how smooth it was? Currently this is my brew of choice, especially at $9.99 a twelver thanks to a certain supplier in Gardendale;) Blue Moon is produced by of course Blue Moon Brewing Company a subsidiary of the first beer company to package beer in a 2 piece aluminum can in 1959...yep, Coors (Molson-Coors). First introduced in 1995 and quickly earning 3 consecutive medals at the WBC. Some characteristics, 171 LARGE calories/12oz and 5.4%abv. Pour yourself one in a proper flared pilsner with a wedge of orange...and repeat prn.
