Briney Melon Gose and Blueberry Popsicles are an adult frozen treat to beat the heat with a sour ale and fruity blueberries on a stick for Popsicle Week!

[Update: In this post I originally said I was taking a break for the month of July.  My break is extended to include August as well.  I plan to return sometime in September.]

It’s Popsicle Week, yo!

First of all, I would like to say that this is not a sponsored post and I am not stalking Anderson Valley Brewing Company.  I just really love their beer and I’m totally digging their gose selection right now.

I’m also keeping things pretty short today, because what more do you need than some Briney Melon Gose and Blueberry Popsicles to celebrate Popsicle Week and head into a holiday weekend.

I’m not going to be the Popsicle Week buzz-kill by dwelling on the negative, but y’all know 2017 has not been kind to my family.  So I’m kicking off Popsicle Week and checking out for a bit.  I’m taking a break from all things blog for the month of July.  I’ll be spending some quality time on the lake, doing a bit of kayaking, and headed to the beach for a welcome week-long vacation. Don’t worry about the fur babies – as always, we have a house/pet sitter.

Happy Popsicle Week, friends and have a great July.  I’ll be back sometime in August, but until then there are all kinds of Popsicle recipes you need to try over at Billy’s website Wit and Vinegar.  Go check out his Popsicle Week page.  Cheers!

Briney Melon Gose and Blueberry Popsicles

Ingredients

  • 1 12 ounce can Briney Melon Gose from Anderson Valley Brewing Company
  • 1/4 cup simple syrup
  • 1 pint blueberries divided

Instructions

  1. Reserve about 20 blueberries and combine remaining blueberries and simple syrup in a blender and puree until smooth
  2. Add beer and blend until combined
  3. Pour blueberry and beer mixture into the bottom 1/3 of each popsicle mold and transfer to freezer for about 1 hour
  4. Remove from freezer and drop a couple of blueberries into each mold
  5. Top with remaining blueberry/beer mixture
  6. Insert sticks and cover with lid overnight or otherwise freeze according to popsicle mold instructions

Notes:

  1. If you can’t find this Briney Melon Gose another sour beer will be fine
  2. I found that if I filled my popsicle molds too close to the top the lid freezes to any overflow and is a complete pain to get off
  3. Be careful when pulling the popsicles out of the mold.  Don’t rush or they will break.  Just take your time and they’ll be fine.

Boozy Root Beer Float Popsicles

June 24, 2016 by rachelle 11 Comments

It’s Popsicle Week happy hour!

Boozy Root Beer Float Popsicles

You didn’t think I would end Popsicle Week without giving you a boozy popsicle, did you?  I realize that it may be early in the morning when this post hits the interwebs, but it is Friday and the last day of Popsicle Week.  Billy at Wit & Vinegar has hosted this party and you should seriously check out his website because this post almost made me blow beer out my nose.

Boozy Root Beer Float Popsicles

Speaking of beer, we used some boozy hard root beer in these popsicles.  You could substitute some regular root beer, but I don’t know whyyyyyy in tarnation you would want to do that.

Boozy Root Beer Float Popsicles

I know these boozy root beer popsicles aren’t quite as colorful as these or these, but I’m here to tell you that they’re just as delicious and totally festive for the popsicle party.

Boozy Root Beer Float Popsicles

And they even get all kind of foamy on top (or bottom?) just they way a root beer float (boozy or otherwise) does!

I couldn’t think of a better way to say good-bye and see you next year Popsicle Week!  Cheers, y’all! Have a fantastic weekend!

It’s Popsicle Week 2016, yo!

Strawberry Kiwi Coconut Popsicles

These Strawberry Kiwi Coconut Pops are my second contribution to this party!  I’m having so much fun with Popsicle Week, I’m kind of out of control over here.  I had to buy a second popsicle mold. Thank you Amazon Prime for always having my back and making packages magically land on my porch in two days.

FULL DISCLOSURE: Amazon is not sponsoring this post.  They just hold the key to my heart.

I digress.  As usual.  Anyhoo – Popsicle Week is the brain child of Billy from Wit & Vinegar.  This is my first year at the party, but it’s the fourth year of celebrating summer with a week totally full of amazing popsicle recipes.
