Beer + Berries

We've all seen the ads on our Facebook pages for the "Acai Miracle Diet" -- so what luck that a local beer now fits into our summer diet plans, with Peak Organic's seasonal Pomegranate Wheat Ale with Acai. 

The eco-friendly organic brewery, which is based here in Maine, is capitalizing on the superfood popularity of such antioxidant-heavy fruits as acai (pronounced Aah-sigh-ee) and pomegranate. The bottled result, according to a press release, "has a soft, round mouthfeel from the local, unmalted wheat. The spice from the coriander and the subtle sweetness from the Pomegranate and Acai are a perfect complement, making this beer refreshing, yet complex."

No first-hand reports to offer, yet, but maybe after tonight's Shakespeare in the Park extravaganza.
