01/03- Pumphouse Blueberry Ale, CSPC
727361; Retail: $12-$13 per 6 X 341 ml. bottles
Click above for more info.
The Pump House Brewery today is a group of beer brewing and bar/catering business, it was opened as a brewpub in downtown Moncton, New Brunswick in 1999 by the co-owners Shaun Fraser, a local fire department chief, and his wife Lilia, both have since won outstanding entrepreneurships for their remarkable success. They debuted in style on New Year's Eve with the first new beer of the Millenium. The Brewpub grew so popular that expansion was necessary. In July 2002, a brewing/bottling plant was built outside the city centre and production began in the same year.
The Blueberry Ale pours golden-orange with a fine white head. Aroma of fresh blueberries, blueberry bread (floury), crystallized sugars and pepper. Sweet flavors dominated by mild blueberries with a malty background. Sweet fruity aftertaste with hints of pepper. Light-medium body, creamy and refreshing.
Blueberry Ale is better enjoyed as an aperitif or with dessert. Keeping an open mind, it fits nicely with food plates which are slightly sweet in flavours (like some Cantonese dishes), or with any meat when served with a fruit based sauce (preferably blueberry).
Some nice pairings: Cheese cake (with or without fruits), crème Brulée, Wensleydale cheese with Blueberries. 5% alcohol

Because any liquor outlet or liquor store may sell out of any product, it’s important that you call ahead to the vendor to confirm product availability.
