Valentine’s Day and Galentine’s Day are just around the corner, and what better way to celebrate than by diving into the vibrant world of huckleberries? As you know, we’re inspired by the Rocky Mountains, and that’s where huckleberries thrive at higher altitudes. This regional favorite has found its way onto our menu, making it the perfect pairing for your plans.

What’s a Huckleberry, Anyway?

Huckleberries are small, round berries that look similar to blueberries but have a slightly tangier and more intense flavor. Found primarily in the wild across the mountainous regions of North America, these berries are often handpicked, making them a rare and sought-after treat.

Huckleberry Fun Facts

• Symbol of Affection: The phrase "I'm your huckleberry," popularized in literature and film, signifies loyalty and devotion — perfect for Valentine’s Day!

• A Berry for Bears: Huckleberries are not only a favorite snack for bears in the wild but also the inspiration behind our Huckleberry Haze® IPA, which features a bear on its label.

• Culinary Versatility: From jams to syrups to baked goods, huckleberries are a versatile ingredient that adds a burst of flavor to any dish.

• Nature’s Treasure: Huckleberries can’t be commercially grown on farms; they only thrive in the wild.

• Flavorful Origins: Huckleberries get their vibrant flavor from the high-altitude climates where they grow, giving them a unique taste that sets them apart from other berries.

• Native American Heritage: Indigenous peoples have cherished huckleberries for centuries, using them for food, medicine and dyes.
