From the Brewer: In Belgium, a Grand Cru is traditionally brewed for special celebrations.  When we found out there was going to be a blue moon on New Year’s Eve (an event that happens only once every 20 years), we wanted to celebrate. So we brewed Blue Moon Grand Cru. This unique limited-batch brew incorporates subtle hints of orange peel and coriander and delivers a warm, spicy finish. Keith Villa, Brewmaster of Blue Moon, says:  “I spent several years learning the art of brewing in Belgium, and I’ve grown to appreciate the bold taste of Grand Cru brews. The blue moon on New Year’s Eve is the perfect occasion to celebrate and commemorate with our own Grand Cru. Beer fans will discover a foamy head, big body and a crisp, tangy flavor while enjoying our artfully crafted Blue Moon Grand Cru this holiday season. Just like Blue Moon, it should be served with an orange slice garnish.”

From Us:  Christmas is in the rear view mirror and now we look towards a brand spankin’ New Year.  Another decade down the hatch.  On this last episode  of Taste Buds for the decade Dusty and Erik help ring in the new year with a special Grand Cru version of Blue Moon.  Since a blue moon only falls on a New Year’s Eve once every twenty years, does this special brew stack up to this special occasion?
