Blue Moon Brewmaster to Launch Marijuana-Infused Beer
Keith Villa, the man who created Blue Moon Belgian Wheat, has announced he is set to launch a new beverage from CERIA Brewing Co. Grainwave Belgian-Style White Ale has no alcohol and includes 5 milligrams of THC.
Villa said the drink is made with blood orange peel and coriander and ‘has a richer, deeper orange character and a little different type of bitterness because of the cannabinoids.”
The new ale will initially be available in Colorado in mid-December, but Villa hopes to expand distribution to California and Nevada soon.
While cannabis-infused beers have been trending in the market, so far none released in the U.S. contain THC. They usually contain hemp, which gives a similar taste to marijuana.
