Blue Moon Belgian White is a Belgian-style witbier brewed by Blue Moon Brewing Co. originally in Golden, Colorado, and launched in 1995. Blue Moon Brewing Co. is an entity of Tenth and Blake Beer Company, the craft and import division of MillerCoors. Originally called Bellyslide Belgian White, it was created by Keith Villa, a brewer at Coors Field's Sandlot Brewery (the onsite brewery owned by the Molson Coors Brewing Company). Blue Moon from the Montreal site is also sold in the USA, as well as exported to Europe. The grain bill for Blue Moon includes malted barley, white wheat, orange peel, coriander and oats—and is sometimes served with a slice of orange, which its brewmasters claim accentuates the flavor of the brew.〔(Blue Moon Brewing Company ), accessed April 28, 2012〕 Keith Villa admitted the orange slice garnish was mostly for attention-getting when Blue Moon is served in a bar.〔(Blue Moon Beer ), Reveries.com, November 22, 2006〕 Available in cans, bottles and kegs, Blue Moon has 5.4% alcohol by volume. In Oklahoma, Minnesota, Colorado and Utah, the alcohol content of all Blue Moon beers bought in grocery or convenience stores is 3.2% alcohol by weight (approximately 4.0% alcohol by volume). Blue Moon Brews and seasonal brews sold in liquor stores are 5.4% by volume. ==Awards== * 1995 World Beer Championship gold medalist, White Beer category * 1996 World Beer Championship silver medalist, White Beer category * 1997 World Beer Championship silver medalist, White Beer category * 2008 World Beer Cup gold medalist, Specialty Honey Lager or Ale category for Blue Moon's Honey Moon * 2008 World Beer Cup silver medalist, Fruit and Vegetable Beer category for Chardonnay Blonde * 2008 World Beer Cup Champion Brewery - Large Brewing Company 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Blue Moon (beer)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
