For their first limited release of 2022 Felons Brewing have brought back their most successful seasonal beer ever but have taken the previously tap-only Blueberry IPA and packaged it in 440ml cans for much wider appeal.
Limited to just 5,000 cans, the 6.8% ABV IPA harnesses 400 kilograms of Queensland blueberries while Mosaic and El Dorado hops are backed up by a malt bill of Pale Malt, Vienna and oats.
The beer’s origins date back two years to a brew team trip to the Crow’s Nest Blueberry Farm located two hours west of Felons’ Brisbane home. There the farm’s owner suggested, like beer, blueberries were best served fresh.
After each sampling fruit straight from the bush the brewers determined he was right and a year later the first iteration of the Blueberry IPA hit taps at Felons’ Howard Smith Wharves taproom. It would become their most successful seasonal beer since founding in 2018.
