No Boulevard Chocolate Ale Next Year.
Oh, crap. I love this stuff.
Link June 20, 2012 On Wednesday, Boulevard Brewing Company announced that Chocolate Ale, one of the brewery’s Smokestack Series offerings, will not be produced in 2013. The announcement does not mean that the beer has been permanently retired, only that it won’t be a part of next year’s lineup. It’s no secret that Boulevard faced challenges during the two previous releases of the popular seasonal beer, not least of which was satisfying surprisingly strong consumer demand. The company is actively working on several initiatives to help overcome these challenges, for Chocolate Ale as well as its other Smokestack Series seasonal and limited release offerings. Boulevard will keep consumers informed over the coming months through its website and social media outlets. In the meantime, fans of the Kansas City company can look forward to some new additions to Boulevard’s portfolio, including 80-Acre Hoppy Wheat Beer and Reverb Imperial Pilsner, both of which should be available later this summer. |

I think this calls for some backlash. We should burn the brewery.

If people actually liked it, they'd keep making it.
It's a bullshit beer. For girls who think "Ooh! Chocolate!"

I actually do think that they were unhappy with the product this year (I believe there were some quality control issues involved), which might account for this suspension. But to act like people don't like it is completely counter to reality. That being said: I'm not a fan of it.

I had this last year in their tasting room and it was pretty good. I look forward to picking up a sixer in the store.

I really need to get down to Boulevard's factory and take the tour. I wonder if they would still have it available there?

Boulevard in KC and Schlafly in St. Louis are Missouri's best two breweries. Both make fine beers and are good companies. Each represents their city well.

As a company, Boulevard is pure win. Great products and the company stands behind them completely.
