I did not, but I do now. I had a delicious blueberry IPA a few years ago, but haven't seen it since. I do have blueberry wine. It is delicious but I can't get more until the end of the month when I'm out that way and can pick it up in person. It was made with my blueberries, which means I get it in exchange for blueberries.

Err... If you don't know, I own a commercial wild blueberry operation. My fields are in Vienna, Maine - should you be curious about them. I've posted lots of pics and have that thread saved, if you're even more interested.

Link me. Also, given that you have blueberries, you know you can make your own wine fairly easily right? I am not saying it will be as good as your current stock, but it's also possible it won't be bad at all. You could also do blueberry mead. Home wine making isn't as hard as you'd believe. It just takes a little know-how and a couple hours effort here and there. You can always PM me if you ever need pointers.

I doubt I'll ever make my own. I've thought about it and have opted to not invest the time. I approached this company to make this year's batch and we are going to do the same thing this coming year.

I have 400 acres, a little more, and we harvest half the acreage each year. So, about 200 acres of berries get harvested each year. Each acre averages about 2.5 tons, 5000 pounds, of berries with some variation depending on growth conditions. I try to sell the berries to everyone but the canning company as they are the lowest paying but they take any and all berries we have.
