Whiner Beer | Bleu Tub

August 31, 2020 | Christiana Torres

Seasonal beers are bittersweet. While they often use fresh, quality ingredients and are perfect for the time of year, it also means you only get to drink them for a limited time. Whiner Beer, a brewery on Chicago’s Southside, specializes in barrel-aged beer inspired by Belgium and French practices and has a few seasonal beers their patrons look forward to throughout the year. 

Rifting off their permanent Saison LeTub, Bleu Tub is a barrel-aged Saison brewed with blueberries and is only available for half the year.

With a smell that is clean, refreshing and inviting, Bleu Tub provides the perfect balance of comfort and excitement.
