Front Porch Brewing and Skygazer Brewing Co. teamed up to create BOBA BLISS, a bubble tea-inspired sour ale in a can. This bubble tea-inspired beverage pays tribute to the drink that originated in Taiwan with a creamy texture and a juicy flavor.
There are many different ways to make bubble tea and rather than taking inspiration from classic milk tea varieties, the collaborators explored the popular bubble tea slush format instead, which is almost smoothie-like. With its smooth and icy consistency, bubble tea slush offers a satisfying sensation that provides cooling relief from the heat—and this sour ale was made to provide a similar experience.
Alongside Blueberry Strawberry, BOBA BLISS was also introduced in other vibrant fruit flavors like Mango and Pink Guava.
