Bridge Brewing - Bourbon Blood Orange Wheat Tall C

Wheat beer from Bridge Brewing in North Vancouver. The bourbon barrel aging adds a soft vanilla and oak warmth that plays surprisingly well against the blood orange, keeping it from tipping into sweetness. Not your standard summer wheat. Grab this if you want something that sits between a sessionable fruited beer and something with a bit more depth. Good for an evening on the patio when you want more than a lager.

Bridge Brewing is a North Vancouver craft brewery that has built a solid reputation across British Columbia for approachable, well-made beers with creative seasonal releases.

The Bourbon Blood Orange Wheat is a wheat ale brewed with real blood orange, then aged or conditioned on bourbon-soaked wood or bourbon barrel staves, a process that adds a soft vanilla and oak character to the citrus-forward base.

The wheat grain bill gives the beer a hazy, light body and gentle breadiness that serves as a pleasant backdrop for the brighter fruit and spirit-influenced notes.

Blood orange brings a tart, slightly bitter citrus quality that is more complex than standard orange, while the bourbon element rounds out the edges with warmth and sweetness without turning the beer boozy or heavy.

This is a 4-pack of tall cans, making it well suited for sharing on a patio or pairing with lighter fare like seafood tacos, Thai dishes, or a simple charcuterie spread.

It represents the kind of accessible craft brewing that British Columbia does well: regionally made, ingredient-driven, and thoughtfully balanced without being self-serious. A good choice for someone who enjoys flavoured wheat beers with a bit more depth than a standard fruit radler.
