Medicine Hat Brewing Company has an enormous selection of beverages for you to try, and Evergreen Co-op Liquor stores have just a few of those choices in stock. Read the story and background of Medicine Hat Brewing Company and their Patio Series Blueberry Vanilla.
In 1912, the Medicine Hat United Agricultural Association hired a man named Charles Hatfield to be a “rain-making” wizard. He built a 20-foot tower by a lake just 20 miles northeast of Medicine Hat and poured secret ingredients, like a witch’s brew, into the tower. People waited anxiously to see if distant clouds would be drawn into the area, and three days later, the rain began to fall. The farmers were no longer apprehensive of Hatfield’s skills; he was definitely a rain-maker. The Hatfield Blonde Ale is in honor of a man who showed this prairie town that sometimes you need to have faith that something will turn out better than you could have dreamt—and that’s our Hatfield Blonde Ale.
Blueberry Vanilla is made with Hatfield Blonde as its base; this blonde ale is enhanced with blueberry essence and vanilla post-fermentation. The flavors and aromas blend seamlessly, producing a thoroughly enjoyable beer-drinking experience.
The Hatfield is a North American-style blonde ale designed to introduce the light-lager drinker to the world of ales. Lightly hopped, this blonde has a hint of sweetness due to the use of malted wheat, as sweet as the sight of rain on a hot, dry summer’s day.
