OUR BEGINNING: BORN IN A BALLPARK Born from a love for baseball, Blue Moon was first created at the Sandlot Brewery in Denver, CO in 1995, with the goal of brewing well-crafted beers inspired by Belgian styles with a refreshing twist.

The name stems from the vision that unique, great- tasting beers come into existence only once in a blue moon. All products were developed and tested at the Sandlot Brewery. Originally, four products were offered including Belgian White, Nut Brown, Honey Blonde, and a seasonal autumn ale called Pumpkin Ale.

So, he sums up, “Miller owns a portion of the Blue Moon trademark in Canada and due to their infighting with Molson, we get Belgian Moon.” In other words, Blue Moon is Belgian Moon in Canada because a Canadian company trademarked “Blue Moon” before Coors did.

Blue Moon Belgian White and Honey Moon have both claimed gold medals in the World Beer Championship and World Beer Cup, respectively, and the brand has experts on staff who know what it takes to make really good, quality beer.

The "blue moon" reference is applied to the third full moon in a season with four full moons, thus correcting the timing of the last month of a season that would have otherwise been expected too early. This happens every two to three years (seven times in the Metonic cycle of 19 years).

On average, a blue moon occurs once every 33 months or full moons, 41 times per century, or about seven times every 19 years. Even rarer is when two blue moons happen in the same calendar year, which happens about four times per century.

Blue Moon Belgian White is a Belgian-style wheat ale produced in the U.S. by MillerCoors, and in Canada by Molson Coors. This understandably confusing existence has led to lawsuits, trademark disputes, and a double identity (more on that later).

Originally called Bellyslide Belgian White, the beer was created by Keith Villa, a brewer at the Sandlot Brewery at Coors Field, Denver, Colorado (owned by the Molson Coors Brewing Company), where it is still brewed today.

But the blue Moon, with its exceptional status, is believed to bless us with a touch of luck and enchantment. This cosmic rarity is often linked to heightened clarity and a profound connection to the divine, a window into the ethereal where our intentions can thrive.

It reminds us of the interconnectedness of the universe and encourages us to explore the mysteries of our world. The blue moon is a term used to describe the second full moon in a single calendar month.

Russian River Supplication Beer is considered the best beer in the world by connoisseurs. It is a delicate blend of Belgian bitter and sour ales with fruity aromas of raisins, currants, and cherries. The flavor has been described as both tart and sweet, with a slight oakiness that gives way to a dry finish.

I love Blue Moon, it's my favorite lighter beer for a refreshing daily brew. I think the flavor profile is nicely balanced with the hints of orange and coriander, and compares favorably with the true Belgian wits. I'm a Belgian witbier lover and really didn't like Blue Moon.
