Food and Drink Boulevard is now distributing in Colorado!

**DaFace** · 08-15-2009, 09:56 PM

I've heard that they were for the past few months, but it wasn't until tonight that I finally found them in a liquor store. Colorado, generally, has Kansas beat when it comes to good brews (IMHO), but I've always missed a good Boulevard Wheat.

Before moving out here, I hadn't really branched out into many of the craft brews, so before today I hadn't tried any of their beers OTHER than the Wheat. So I picked up the sampler, which includes the Wheat, the Pale Ale, Single Wide IPA, Lunar Ale, Bully Porter, and Zon.

Sampling the Lunar Ale currently. It's not too shabby. I like the unfiltered taste, and the aftertaste is very pleasant.

Anyway, just thought I'd share in my excitement over something a majority of you all have had for years.

Now locate the Smokestack Series aka the real reason for Boulevard to exist. (Well, Bully! Porter is a great reason for it to exist, too).

Congrats.

Even backwoods AR has had Blvd. What does that tell you about Colorado? Huh? I thought so.

Boulevard has some great seasonals. Irish Ale (Spring) and Nutcracker Ale (Winter) are great IMO. Also love Bob's 47, their Autumn brew ...

It tells you they were too scared to try and break into this market in the past because there are too damn many competitors!

Colorado has some damn fine breweries. I like Breckenridge and Great Divide.

Outside of the Smokestack series, if you live in Colorado, don't even WORRY about Boulevard.

CO is one of the very best beer states in the nation. I might not be able to count on two hands the number of great craft breweries from that state. Great Divide, Avery, Odell, Left Hand, New Belgium, Oskar Blues, etc.

Not quite. Nobody in CO makes a better porter than Bully! Porter, and Single-Wide IPA is a better American India Pale Ale, imo, than any CO brewer puts out.

Have you tried their red ale? I hear it is fantastic ...

Boulevard and New Belgium started showing up in my grocery store on the same week.

Eh, I don't disagree, but I think you missed my point. Have you tried Altus' wine?

What was your point? Also, I have no idea what Altus wine is.

Boulevard Zon is one of the worst beers I've had. I just didn't like it at all.
