Sounds nice, I'm sure I'd like that. I like the Coach House blueberry beer although I think the taste is a bit fake in that. I don't think I have ever seen them growing wild
That's because blueberries are native to North America. In the UK we have bilberries, which are a different species in the same family and which are pretty common in moorland areas, my mum used to fill a freezer with them. Great on their own or on a cheesecake.
It's getting a bit OT, but AIUI the problem with blueberries in beer is that it's easy to get colour from them but it's hard to get much flavour - which perhaps is why commercial examples might need a bit of artificial "assistance".
