Boulevard Brewing taps NYC

[Nzoner]

:toast:

Full article in link.

Boulevard will introduce its beers in New York City on March 2 — Tank 7 Farmhouse Ale, The Sixth Glass, Dark Truth Stout, Long Strange Tripel and The Calling IPA, along with a handful of Limited Release and seasonal Smokestack Series beers. Then it will promote the beers at about 40 events throughout the city from March 3 to 5. (http://www.kansascity.com/news/business/biz-columns-blogs/cityscape/article11030921.html)

[nychief]

Thank god!

[saphojunkie]

I was complaining about this on facebook, and the owner of a bar near my house in LA chimed in that he's from KC and has Boulevard brought in on tap.

Boo.

Fucking.

Yah.

[Bambi]

This is awesome news.

[BWillie]

Don't understand how this is a bad thing?

[phisherman]

Try the Calling, it's really good. Best pale ale or IPA that Boulevard has ever put out.

[stevieray]

...they are in 22 states and the goal is all 50.

[Nzoner]

...they are in 22 states and the goal is all 50.

According to the article once NYC is added it'll be 31 states.

[KCUnited]

I've heard they want to move their entire Tank 7 production to NY.

I've heard they want to move their entire Tank 7 production to NY.

This was passed on to me by a friend that works for the brewery:

There are absolutely no plans in the works to move production of any Boulevard beers to Brewery Ommegang in Cooperstown, New York. - Jeremy Danner, Ambassador Brewer, Boulevard Brewing Co.

I believe that. I had heard it from someone that works there as well, but likely not as in the know as Jeremy and it was a while ago.

I had a BB Pale Ale in KC a few weeks ago, and once again, I was completely underwhelmed. Just a very bland pale. It made me sad.

Jeremy has confirmed the same thing to me, fwiw. Besides, that doesn't even make sense. Boulevard is close to triple the capacity of Ommegang.

We just opened up a BevMo I can see what they have. I do wanna try Pliny the Elder too lol. We need to exchange something lol

This.

I actually had the chocolate on tap in Eureka Springs, AR last weekend.

As others always say: I like that it's a chocolate ale instead of the usual chocolate stout. That's kind of cool. That being said, there are tons of other beers that I prefer.

It's just one of those things you have to at least try once. Trust me it'll be hard to beat Tank 7.

Our 54th Street just added it on tap but I cannot get myself to try it,I'll stick with Tank 7.

Pale Ale is their discount offering. It's certainly not a good representation of Boulevard's abilities. It's better than Bud Light, but pales in comparison to their actual IPAs and such. Pun intended.

Try the doublewide IPA, or my personal favorite the Pop-up Session IPA.

[phisherman]

We drink a bottle or two per year and usually have it on draft once or twice as well; my wife really enjoys it. I think it kinda tastes like tootsie roll beer.

Dang, Billay. I didn't know you got down like that.


If it wasn't from Kansas City nobody would talk about it.

I don't think people in KC talk about Boulevard Pale Ale, even. It's just...there. A solid beer you can find everywhere. No one talks about it because its a 25+ year old recipe. Innovative back in its day but old-guard now.

You might want to stock up on Double Wide now, as it's being replaced by The Calling VERY soon.

Pop-Up is a very nice low ABV pale that has a ton of flavor.

I'll trust your opinion,tootsie roll is not something I want to taste when enjoying a cold beer.

Overrated beer

Are you saying that the Pale is overrated? That Boulevard as a brewery is overrated? What?

Boulevard is certainly not overrated, and your statement that the only reason people love it is that they're from KC is incorrect. It's an extremely well-respected brewery at the national level and the Smokestack series is highly prized. On top of that, their Tank 7 is a fantastic beer by all measures.

That being said, the Chocolate is damned sure overrated (though really, it's just overhyped... as people who actually rate beer aren't "overrating" it.)

[Nzoner]

:shake:

There are coast to coast reviews of their beers all over youtube.

So being an old recipe in beer is a bad thing? Has anyone informed Guinness of this?

Not that I am a fan of BB pale ale or for that matter many of BB offerings.

Have you been to that MoBrew place yet?

[Sully]

Weird.

I'm no beer connoisseur by any means, but aside from when Irish Ale is available, Blvd Pale Ale is my favorite beer to drink.

Odd to see my favorite (second favorite, really) trashed so hard.

[stevieray]

According to the article once NYC is added it'll be 31 states.

...doesn't surprise me it's moving along that quickly...granted I heard this awhile back.

yup, still love the Wheat, though others will disagree..Dartgod turned me on to Pale at B5 tailgates back in 2003...never went back to domestic.

[phisherman]

Plain old Boulevard Pale Ale was what really got me away from adjunct lagers permanently. I rarely drink it anymore, but it still stands out to me, albeit in a different way than it did 10 years ago.

In the era of super hopped up ales in general, Pale Ale still has a nice, strong malt backbone balanced well with hop bitterness. It's a classic interpretation of a classic style. It's not really in your face, and it's not all that "sexy", but it's still a darn good beer.

[Pablo]

I'll buy some Bud Light/Busch Light here and there; but for the price point you pay for domestics you can usually get Blvd. products for a couple bucks more a 12 pack.

[Reaper16]

So being an old recipe in beer is a bad thing? Has anyone informed Guinness of this?


Absolutely not. But nobody "talks about" Guinness either. It doesn't have hype. Because it's reached classic status. It'll always have its share of dedicated consumers, but there's no "buzz" about the Guinness brand anymore. That's not a bad thing, either.

With the case of a beer like Boulevard Pale Ale, well, it's similarly attained [regional] classic status. But we've made many advances in the brewing of American Pale Ales in the last 8 years. Nobody is really advancing the Irish Dry Stout style (and there isn't a reason to anyway).

I feel the same way. The strength of that recipe is still evident in its balance. It may not be Zombie Dust or MO, but that's fine. It's versatile, local, and inexpensive.

I agree it's not innovative by today's standards, but I still think it is a fantastic American Pale. Very drinkable and balanced. Not every beer I drink has to knock me off my stool. I would buy it now and then for sure if I could get it in CA. Most of the Smokestack Series is great, but I wish we got some of the standard Boulevard stuff out here.

[phisherman]

NAME OF BAR PLEASE.

For all you guys in Cali, if you can reliably get Alpine/Russian River/Sante Adarius/Firestone Walker fun stuff, let me know, I can get you most any Boulevard beers for trading.

[Sweet Daddy Hate]

Back in the day, I put away reservoirs of Bobs 47 and Irish Ale.

I have a couple of buddies that are associated with the brewery.

I've tried a few test beers before, but that's about all the special treatment I get. :)

Nice!...majority of the people I've encountered have been pretty cool.

Absolutely. They're first class folks, for sure, and they put out solid and consistent beers. They take quality control very seriously and they are also honestly interested in what the people that drink their beers have to say.

I'll admit that I was disappointed when I had heard that they sold to a Belgian company, but since the purchase, it seems to me that Boulevard is stretching out and doing a ton of new and interesting things. We get two versions of Love Child this year, along with a bunch of variants on their Imperial Stout. Several new IPAs and also a sour pumpkin beer for the fall months. It's really a great time to be drinking Boulevard beer in Kansas City!

Way cool!...Ya, I was a little disappointed too..it held up a big mural on the trussel across the street..sealed, primed and then put on the backburner due to the sell..such is life! I painted the logo at their Christmas Store on the Plaza just a few months ago and their new marketing head has really done a great job in broadening the apparel, etc..They are definitely a well run company, who like you said, really do care what people think about the brews...I'm not ashamed to say I'm proud the brewery is in our home town. KC, IMO, is a well kept secret that most just don't understand the rich culture that comes from the city and its people!

[TimBone]

Boulevard's Saison-Brett is wonderful. Tank 7 is my favorite, though. Chocolate Ale is overrated.

[TimBone]

It's difficult to find Pliney the Elder even in Cali. Whole Foods in Napa told me they get between 0-2 cases every Monday, and it's sold out within an hour. They don't even bother putting it on the shelf.

When I went to the Russian River Brewery, we were allowed to buy a case per person. They said it's normally a six pack per person, but they had some extra that morning.

[Mr. Flopnuts]

The only thing I'll say about Boulevard is that when I moved here from Seattle I was very very upset that I was losing my all time favorite beer, Alaskan Amber. Boulevard saved me. The Irish Ale, Nutcracker, and Tank 7 are all amazing.

[Dunit35]

I haven't had a Tank 7 in a year and a half. Stuff was awesome. Can't get it around here. Does anybody like their Zon beer? Always liked that but I haven't seen it in a couple years.

I don't really care much for Pliny the Elder. It's a decent beer when fresh, but really no different than a lot of double and imperial IPAs. Russian River's strength is their wine barrel aged beers. Supplication, Consecration, Sanctification, Temptation, just excellent sours.

[NewChief]

One of our local breweries just tapped a sour today. I'm headed there after happy hour. Also, speaking of local beers, if you get a chance to grab Ozark Beer Company's APA, it's fantastic.

It's become my daily drinker. Just fantastic.

[Nzoner]

Could you ask them to tell the powers that be that they need to offer a golf visor at their store,I own a couple of shirts but would love to have a visor.

[Pablo]

I haven't had a Tank 7 in a year and a half. Stuff was awesome. Can't get it around here. Does anybody like their Zon beer? Always liked that but I haven't seen it in a couple years.I'm pretty sure that's a summer seasonal release. And as far as Blvd. beers go, it's way down there. I haven't bought in a long, long time.

[phisherman]

I think Zon's a great summer beer. Very crushable.

Apparently someone likes it because it won a Bronze medal at GABF last year.

My wife bought me some from Wichita a couple years ago. We immediately went back up and bought the rest they had. Haven't seen one since.

Comes out in June and is gone by the end of July typically.

I picked it up in late fall. So, nobody must have liked it. Bought several six packs.

I completely disagree about Pliny. Ibdon't really care for sour beers, but I can understand how folks would like the ones from Russian River.

[phisherman]

Let me rephrase, perhaps I was a bit careless in my wording. Pliny is a good beer. It's got a cult following that it just silly at times. When craft beer wasn't such a crowded business, it did really stand out. But as craft has grown, other brewers are putting out beers that are just as good or better.

If you enjoy Pliny, I would encourage you to seek out something like Zombie Dust by 3 Floyds, or Heady Topper by the Alchemist. When considering California beers specifically, I'm also a big fan of FW Union Jack and any of Alpine's offerings, Duet and Nelson being my particular favorites.

I reeeeeallly want to get my hands on some Zombie Dust. I hear it is wonderful.

[phisherman]

Zombie Dust is very tasty. I'm also a big fan of Alpha King by 3 Floyds, a super balanced American Pale Ale. Keep your eyes open for PseudoSue or Golden Nugget by Toppling Goliath too, their beers are causing quite a stir in the craft beer community. They are currently having some growing pains as a business though and I hope it doesn't cause them to fade off.

[Reaper16]

I still prefer Pliny to Heady Topper. Also, I can get Pliny on-tap pretty much whenever I feel like it. Mwahahaha.

[phisherman]

I prefer the citrus character of Heady to the super-dank piney character of fresh Pliny.

I'll give Pliny one thing, it sure looks a heck of a lot better in a glass than Heady does.

I've come to learn that I really like "Piney" beers. Not sure why..

Giggity... is it in stores yet?

I've got a poker game tonight, I might just have to swing by Gomers and grab some if so. You're welcome to join if you don't have anything going. It's at Sweet Will's place. $10 tourney. Would be good to BS with you..

[phisherman]

The Calling hits stores on March 3rd. It's already out in kegs.

[Donger]

Pale Ale is their discount offering. It's certainly not a good representation of Boulevard's abilities. It's better than Bud Light, but pales in comparison to their actual IPAs and such. Pun intended.

Try the doublewide IPA, or my personal favorite the Pop-up Session IPA.

I'm in Omaha this week and picked up a six of the Single-Wide IPA. I'm not a huge fan of IPAs any more, but it is really, really good. Thanks for the recommendation (even though I got single-wide).

[phisherman]

Oh well, it's better that you liked the Single Wide anyway. The Double Wide is being discontinued in favor of a different imperial IPA, The Calling. Just picked up a 4 pack of it today and it's delicious.

[stevieray]

The Calling hits stores on March 3rd. It's already out in kegs.

Sure you can. Not necessarily on tap but Boulevard is everywhere.

You ever go to Instant Karma or Blackthorne?

[phisherman]

The Calling is incredible.

I'm glad you like it, man. It's quite different than Double Wide!

Trying to organize a big disc golfer Boulevard tour around the Wide Open this year, Fish. I'll keep you posted.

[Dunit35]

A coworker told me a local liquor store carried Tank 7. I scored some but at $14/4pk. What's the price on these?

They also had some sixth glass whatever it's called. Is that any good?

They also had some quadruple wide or whatever it's called. Is that any good?You can get a 4-pack around these parts from $9 to $11 on the regular I'd say. The cheapest place being Wal-Mart of course.

[Dunit35]

I'm guessing $14 is probably about right for our liquor stores. Oklahoma is awesome and doesn't allow cold beer in liquor stores. So, prices are always high. My father has to bring me Fat Tire when he visits from KS.

[Fish]

Yeah, this beer is a new favorite for sure. They definitely did it right. Better than the Doublewide for sure.

I'd certainly be up for a disc golf group tour. I haven't been to Boulevard since the initial release party for Bob's 47. I'd hate to think how long ago that was.

The Sixth Glass is a traditional Belgian quadrupel. Think: dark fruits, sticky buns, brown sugar, sherry. But also pretty dry & drinkable at the same time. I think it's one of, if not THE, best quadrupel style ales brewed in the U.S.

[Dunit35]

Has anybody seen the boulevard zon yet? Website shows it released this month.

[phisherman]

It's out now. Don't know whether it's made its way to Oklahoma yet or not. Ask your local store owner.

[NewChief]

Really excited for this:

Ozark Table Series #3: The New Zealand Farmhouse Ale
With Spring firmly planted in the Ozarks, Ozark Beer Company is pleased to tell you about our newest release in the Ozark Table Series. The New Zealand Farmhouse ale is the first collaboration between new brewer Jesse Gagnon and Brewmaster Andy Coates.

At 4.2% ABV, the New Zealand Farmhouse Ale is a perfectly smooth table beer. The brew is a traditional Belgian and Northern France style Farmhouse ale. With a Belgian yeast and Pilsner and Munich malts, our take on this style was the addition of a New Zealand hop called Wakatu.

Wakatu is the name of the region in New Zealand where the hop is grown. It is a tropical, zesty and citrusy hop. The beer was dry-hopped with a late addition of the Wakatu imparting pleasant notes of fruit and tropical flowers. The amount of the hop was determined by trying to keep the Belgian characteristics intact. The result is a fresh malty Farmhouse with the traditional pepper spice from that region’s yeast, and the pleasing addition of floral characteristics ala Wakatu.

It’s on tap and in growlers now in the taproom. Come taste this treat of a beer and taste the combination of hemispheres that come together in a glass of New Zealand Farmhouse. Cheers!

We took a tour of Boulevard a couple of Fridays ago. They were in production of cans and I believe they were to be released on the 21st or 28th.

And beer tastes soooooooo much better from a bottle. Not even close.

What? Nothing tastes better out of a can. WTF?

[Ceej]

And Wisconites know if Boulevard is sold in the Green Bay area?

There's a brewery in New Glarus that's supposedly pretty nice. My fiancee says Spotted Cow is one of their more popular craft beers up in that area.

Looking forward to checking that out next month when we move.

[Reaper16]

I want to teleport to whereever you guys are and set up a blind tasting to prove to you that cans are superior to 12oz. bottles for many styles.

[Ceej]

Drinking out of a can reminds me of high school.

[KCUnited]

Heavy Lifting cans have been out for a bit. Love the ease of recycling with cans.

[NewChief]

I've become something of a can junkie.

[Dunit35]

It's out now. Don't know whether it's made its way to Oklahoma yet or not. Ask your local store owner.

I did. She said it wasn't on their distributors list for them to be able to purchase.

I would say that your retailer has erroneous distro information. Or the distributor is an idiot. Whichever.

I want to teleport to whereever you guys are and set up a blind tasting to prove to you that cans are superior to 12oz. bottles for many styles.

I want you to teleport to where I am and bring along some of the treasures you more than likely have cellared right now.

But yes, cans are good.

Oskar Blues beers convinced of that long ago.

I did. She said it wasn't on their distributors list for them to be able to purchase.

It could be held up in a regulator thing.

Every beer that is sold in Texas has to be approved by TABC. They have strict labeling requirements and that will sometimes cause delays with beers coming here. I would imagine Oklahoma has an assbackwards institution that is similar.

Bought Pop-Up IPA in the six-pack can fashion. Tasted just fine to me.

The cans are the bee's knees.

Love drinking BLVD on the golf course.

Oh, trust me..I still enjoy beer out of a can.

I just like the taste from a bottle more.

I've had The Calling and Heavy Lifting a few times lately, and love them both. The Calling is most similar to Tank 7. Heavy Lifting is more hoppy.

is this in cali?

What? Nothing tastes better out of a can. WTF?

I just disagree, both beer and soda tend to taste more crisp out of a can to me. Add that to the fact that cans are easier to store, throw away, recycle and use...i just dont get why so many beer is in bottles. Also, beer tends to foam up much easier in bottles
