Sweet bourbon blueberry cobbler is a must-have dessert recipe for the summertime that has a hint of bourbon sweetness and a burst of blueberry tartness.
Happy Friday! Yayayayayayay! I am soooo happy it’s Friday. I hope you guys have some super exciting plans for the weekend. We will be spending most of our weekend in Boulder, CO. Since we still live so close, we tend to make our way down there quite a bit. Hopefully the weather holds up and stays beautiful!
Let’s celebrate Friday with cobbler shall we? As I was looking back through the Cooking and Beer archives, I realized that I have almost NO cobbler recipes! What is up with this? I have pies and dutch babies galore, but no cobblers! This is super strange since I make cobbler all summer long, and it’s definitely one of the easiest desserts you can whip together!
So here we are, and get ready…I will be posting cobblers like crazy because I have a whole stash of recipes in the old vault. I thought we could start with a traditional blueberry cobbler, but with a bourbon(y) twist. I love bourbon you guys. Love it. I love it almost as much as I love beer. Put the two together in bourbon barrel-aged beer?! Oh…dear…God. That right there, is my euphoria. I love how the combination of blueberries and bourbon in this cobbler compliment one another, and I’m sure you will be just as obsessed with this combination once you try it!
Add this sweet bourbon blueberry cobbler to your weekend cooking plans. You won’t be disappointed! Pair it with a bourbon barrel-aged stout, and then do a happy dance because it will literally be the best beer pairing you’ve ever had. Have a great weekend, friends! xo

Cobbler is one of the best desserts. Blueberry cobbler is maybe my favourite. Never had it with bourbon though! This looks amazing!

It’s been so long since I’ve made a cobbler and you have me wanting this one! Looks incredible. Love that it is done in a cast iron pan.
Cobbler is one of my absolute favorite desserts! Between the addition of bourbon and that vanilla ice cream, I am all about this!
