Blue Flowers
Equal Parts Brewing

Blue Flowers is a sour ale, brewed with actual blue flowers - butterfly pea flowers - that impart a tea-like flavor and impart their indigo color. When thinking of the concept for this beer, we decided that we wanted to play off the herbal notes from the flowers by adding a slightly sweet-yet-tart lemon component to simulate lemonade. The goal was a 50/50 tea/lemonade flavor, or what is commonly referred to as an "Arnold Palmer". Since lemon is so tart, we tempered it with Andean blackberry, hoping to round out the beer and make it pleasurable to drink.
