Blueberry Wheat

Pisgah Blueberry Wheat is an American wheat ale flavored with a generous helping of blueberry puree. Brewed using organic 2-row malted barley and white wheat, the beer leans on clean, grain-forward base malts that let the blueberry aroma and taste take center stage. At 5.6% ABV and 17 IBU, it sits in the sessionable range for fruit-forward wheats—present enough to notice but light on bitterness. The beer’s character is defined by that heaping dose of blueberry puree, which contributes both aroma and flavor rather than relying on extracts. The white wheat in the grain bill adds a softer mouthfeel and a subtle haze typical of American wheat ales, while the organic 2-row provides a neutral backbone that supports the fruit without overpowering it. The result is a beer where blueberry is clearly present in the glass but the malt base keeps the overall profile balanced and approachable. Available in 6-pack (12 oz) cans and on tap, Pisgah Blueberry Wheat fits into a summer-leaning rotation or any occasion where a lighter, fruit-accented ale is desired. With a modest bitterness level (17 IBU), it’s easy to pair with a range of foods—from lighter fare like salads and soft cheeses to grilled chicken and seafood—where a touch of fruit can complement rather than compete. For drinkers in North Carolina, Pisgah Blueberry Wheat is part of the broader craft beer scene that often explores local ingredients and approachable fruit beers. The use of organic malted barley is a detail that will matter to those paying attention to ingredient sourcing, and the blueberry puree gives the beer an unmistakable berry-forward note that shows how fruit can be integrated into a wheat ale without masking its base. Whether sipped from a can or poured from the tap, this beer offers a straightforward expression of blueberry within an American wheat framework.
