Pruning an older Blueberry Bush

We have a blueberry bush that is over 20 years old and taller than the house gutters, probably 15 feet high. I don’t know the type. Can I trim it all to maybe 5 or 6 feet high, while clearing out some of the old growth and the not necessary branches, so we can reach the higher berries?
