A Note on This Beer

If I’d been blindfolded when I took my first sip of Blueberry McGuffin Fruited Sour, I might have thought I’d somehow tripped into a bakery and face planted in a plate of freshly-baked blueberry muffins. 

Jammy berry aromas flooded my nose. Waves of brown sugar, vanilla, and cinnamon swirls danced around the tangy berry compote flavors on my tongue! Lingering notes of sticky fruit crumble left me wondering if Florida’s 3 Sons and Oregon’s Great Notion also brought in a covert team of bakers when they decided to team up on this sweet-tart beauty.

Seriously, the flavornauts from both breweries have stunned me before with their Pastry brews, but this one really takes the cake, er, muffin. They packed Blueberry McGuffin with an astounding 3,600 lbs of blueberries plus real baked muffins! 

And, with each voluptuous mouthful, I’m more inclined to skip the real blueberry muffins in favor of this treat full time. If this weren’t a limited collab, it wouldn’t even be a question.

That means grab it quick if you want a taste. Something tells me these muffins won’t last long.

*3 Sons won People’s Choice Awards for Best Beer AND Best Brewery at the one-and-only Hunahpu's Day Beer Festival; Thrillist raves Great Notion is “Portland’s undisputed go-to for beer nerds.”

With Tavour, it's easy to beer it forward! Just head over to Tavour.com/gifts to send a gift box or gift card to the craft beer lover in your life. Cheers!

Very Heavy Blueberry vibes! Light essence of Muffin so to say but this one slaps with being 8%+ abv. Definitely a great one to have in the arsenal when the time is right!

Almost like a very boozy sangria, initially. The alcohol let’s up a bit when it warms up. The aroma is nice. Overall too sweet and one-dimensional with the foretaste, but the aftertaste is amazing. Fresh blueberry taste and slightly rich muffin aftertaste. This either needs to be a stronger natural sour via fermentation or have a sour element added to it to compliment the blueberry flavors like lemons or even adding citric acid.

Loved this one! For sure a strong blueberry flavor. I’d say the only downfall is it is a bit heavy. Would buy again!

More sweet than sour, a bit tame on the tartness which was a bit of a letdown at first. As I continued to sip I enjoyed it more, loads of blueberry flavor with backing cinnamon and vanilla notes. Light body, very sweet which is shocking at first but not overly sweet over the whole beer. Different, but good

Just ok blueberry sour. Good balance of tart and smooth but nothing standing out with flavor or body. Was hoping for a confectionary twist.
