From Wallace Brewing:
Wallace, ID – The Silver Valley’s premier craft brewer, Wallace Brewing Company announces its second huckleberry inspired beer as the Pacific Northwest begins to warm up this spring. Starting today, Wallace Brewing is proud to release its Huckleberry Shandy, a sessionable brew made with freshly crushed huckleberries.
Recognizing an absence of craft shandys – a style primarily dominated by macro breweries, Wallace Brewing developed the concept of blending an American Lager with lemonade and real huckleberries as the perfect beer to quench the thirst of it’s proud Northwest craft beer drinkers. When brainstorming recipe ideas, the combination of lemonade and huckleberries was a given, but a lot of discussion was placed on what style of beer should make up the base. After several rounds of taste testing, Brewmaster, Jack Johnson committed to blending in his Idaho Select Lager, a beer well known for its crisp, light body largely due to its primary ingredient, Idaho-grown pilsner malt.
Tasting notes:
Picture juicy huckleberries and slightly tart, citrusy lemonade on the nose, anchored by a crisp lager with a bright carbonation.
