Monday Mashups: A New Fruit-Flavored Brew Has Arrived

Worcester-based Polar Seltzer has teamed up with Harpoon Brewery’s UFO Beer to create a fruit-flavored beer just in time for Memorial Day weekend celebrations. The result is UFO Blueberry Lemonade Beer, a “Hefeweizen brewed with the essence of Polar Blueberry Lemonade.” Could it be? Are seltzer and beer the new peanut butter and jelly? We think yes!

The unfiltered wheat beer will be widely available by mid-May, on store shelves in six packs of 12-ounce cans and on tap while supplies last. In other words, and as the cans will say, it’s “berry limited.” UFO, made in Boston at Harpoon, stands for “UnFiltered Offering” — the yeast is not filtered out of the beer, so the brews are all cloudy.

The brewers over at Harpoon worked closely with the team from Polar to select a delicious flavor from their Seltzer’ade line that would pair well with a classic wheat beer. And just like that, the UFO Blueberry Lemonade beer came to fruition (no pun intended). Flavor adventure is about to take on a whole new meaning with this partnership! We can't wait to get our hands on these cans!

Polar’s Seltzer’ade line, which includes blueberry lemonade, was released in February of 2017. We can already tell these berry good beers will be flying off the shelves! Get to the liquor store today and devour the details of UFO Blueberry Lemonade just in time for Memorial Day. Cheers!
