summer projects for Blue Moon have been fun, challenging, and exiting to create. This first recipe comes after a lengthy assignment developing spice rub packets for two of their seasonal beers. After many trials, a digital scale purchase, and some taste tests the spice rubs were chosen for development. The 1/2oz packets will be distributed nation wide soon! So… with the spice rub packet comes a recipe!
