Those who love craft beer will be thrilled to hear that Blue Moon BBBQ Sauce is coming to Buffalo Wild Wings. This will mark the first time in more than two years that the chicken wing chain has offered the limited-edition sauce.
Buffalo Wild Wings' Blue Moon BBBQ Sauce is a unique take on BBQ sauce that's made with Blue Moon craft beer. In addition to beer, the sauce is also infused with sweet citrus and a blend of spices that include coriander. The result is a flavor that's been described by the chain as having "a rich and tangy flavor with a slight kick." To serve, Buffalo Wild Wings tosses boneless and traditional wings with the Blue Moon BBBQ Sauce and then garnishes them with an orange slice—just like how the beer is served.
