I also saw it at one of my local markets today so it seems that its making its way into Seattle right now. DFH Black and Blue appeared recently at a beer store in the Seattle area.

Just FYI for those out there looking for it.

Wheat ales are generally better, in my opinion - for exactly the reasons you mentioned. Kennebunk port (of Trader Joe's distribution fame) makes a remarkably decent one, as does Whachusett, although I think I like the one Bar Harbor brewery in Maine makes best of all. Often the thing with these beers is a great blueberry nose, but a lack of blueberry flavor. Sometimes that's a good thing, though. A Black and Blue is, incidentally, a mixed-beer drink made of layered Guiness and a blueberry ale, which is quite tasty. Sunset Grill in Allston used to float fresh blueberries in the blueberry ale they had on tap (usually Whachusett I think), and while it was gimmicky, it was fun because the berries are small enough to become covered in bubbles and float to the top, then sink back down again and repeat. Joyous drunken beer peering. Also a fan of blueberry beers. Wheat ales are generally better, in my opinion - for exactly the reasons you mentioned.

I have had both the Sea Dog and the Black and Blue. The Sea Dog is much simpler than the Dogfish Head but it is always good and a nice lighter beer. I liked the Black and Blue and it was clear that it was a more complex beer than the Sea Dog. It also has a much higher ABV which was apparent in the taste and is much darker in color, almost reddish, compared to the golden color of the Sea Dog.
