Unibroue has expanded its Éphémère fruit beer series, with the launch of Éphémère Blueberry.

Éphémère Blueberry is a limited release. The product is red in colour, with hints of purple, and comes with creamy, pinkish foam.

Unibroue brewmaster Jerry Vietz said: "The beer wort used for Éphémère Blueberry is made from home-grown blueberries.

"The unique taste of blueberries can be a delicious addition to any number of recipes."

"Éphémère Blueberry is a Belgian style white ale brewed with fruit, with mid-sized bubbles and bold effervescence. It has a balanced bouquet of berries and citrus, with a dominant blueberry flavour and a subtly spicy finish that’s delightfully refreshing."

Unibroue beer sommelier Sylvain Bouchard added: "The unique taste of blueberries can be a delicious addition to any number of recipes.

"Éphémère Blueberry can be used as the base ingredient for a sangria, for instance, or can even replace milk in pancake batter."

The beer can accompany pork medallions in port sauce, duck magret, or even a dessert such as cheesecake or profiteroles.

Éphémère Blueberry has been simultaneously released throughout Canada and the US.

In the US, it is available in 750ml cork and cage bottles, carrying a manufacturer’s suggested retail price (MSRP) of anywhere betweeen $7.99 and $8.99.

Set up in 1991, Unibroue is a leading craft brewery in Québec, Canada.
