Gahan released a blueberry ale in bottle. It is tasty stuff, not made with extract.

Chris,
I'd take one of the blueberry and one of the lobster if you don't mind!

It's a saison with a small amount of lobster shell added before fermentation. I'm not really sure what they're expecting to get out of that, but a beer that even has a hint of lobster to it is entirely unappealing to me. I wonder how well it will be received.

Lobster shell can be used to make a stock, so... yeah. This sounds freaking awful.
I'd still give it a taste to confirm.

It tastes great, they said that it only has a few drops of lobster juice in a big tank. It is a 6.5 ABV saison.

So Gimmick, not substantial.
Shame to waste a good beer on that kind of marketing, but having seen the new brewpub area, it's clear there's a TON of cash behind it.

The new brewery is very impressive, they have it setup for tours, $10 each.

I wonder what kind of yeast they use for the Saison, or if they use the same yeast for everything.

from this review it looks like it's the typical saison taste
http://www.peibeerguy.com/2013/06/pei-brewing-co-lobster-ale.html
I think the lobster is a commercial stunt more than anything else but it's still cool to see a commercial saison and I’m curious to try it

Potentially too low a threshold, but ignoring the flavour isn't this gimmick likely to induce allergic reactions in some?
