Boulevard Tasting Room Rosemary IPA joins Sample Twelve

Boulevard Tasting Room Rosemary IPA

Boulevard Tasting Room Rosemary IPA joins the brewery’s Tasting Room Series this fall.

As the name suggests, the Tasting Room Series got its start in Boulevard’s Kansas City, Missouri Tasting Room. A selection of test batches, one-offs and other experiments that could one day be a full production brew.

Some of the beers are so well received in the Tasting Room, they get a small promotion to the brewery’s Sample Twelve Mixed Pack, that does see distribution. This fall, Boulevard Tasting Room Rosemary IPA is a part of that pack.

Inspired by a beer from Cerveza Granizo tasted during a judging session in Chile, Boulevard Brewmaster Steven Pauwels became intrigued with the idea of using rosemary in a hop forward beer to explore the interaction between bright herbaceous/savory flavors and punchy/fruity hops.

You can taste the result yourself in the fall Sample Twelve Pack, that ships to all Boulevard markets. Boulevard Tasting Room Rosemary IPA is a 12 ounce bottle release, joined by a new Milk Stout in the box.

Style: IPA (w/ Rosemary)
Hops: Chinook, Simcoe, Citra, Cascade

Availability: 12oz Bottles, Mixed Pack only
Debut: August, 2016

6% ABV, 59 IBUs

Boulevard Tasting Room Milk Stout joins fall pack

Boulevard Tasting Room Milk Stout

Boulevard Tasting Room Milk Stout is a part of the brewery’s Sample Twelve mixed pack this fall.

The series is named for beers found only in Boulevard’s Kansas City Tasting Room. That was, until the brewery started taking a few hand select winners and putting them into the Sample Twelve pack. The mixed box changes seasonally.

Boulevard Tasting Room Milk Stout is brewed with Cara 100, 120 and 300 malt, plus Patagonia Black Pearl. Those malts give the beer strong flavors of chocolate and caramel that compliment the creaminess of the lactose milk sugar addition.

Tasting Room – Milk Stout opens with aromas of bittersweet chocolate, espresso and toffee that transition to flavors of the same. The addition of lactose, a non-fermentable sugar, works with the rolled oats to deliver a creamy, lingering finish.

Boulevard Tasting Room Milk Stout is a 12 ounce bottle offering in the fall Sample Twelve Pack (alongside Rosemary IPA) and in the brewery’s Tasting Room.

Style: Milk Stout
Hops: Bravo, Cascade
Availability: 12oz Bottles, Draft. Limited.

Debut: August, 2016

5.5% ABV, 12 IBUs

Boulevard Red IPA Hits Tasting Room Series in April

Boulevard Red IPA

Boulevard Red IPA is going the brewery’s Tasting Room Series in April, 2015.

Red IPA joins Boulevard Blonde Ale in the Sample Twelve Pack. The variety pack features (3) bottles of Unfiltered Wheat, along with (3) bottles of 80 Acre Hoppy Wheat or Single Wide IPA and the two current Tasting Room options.

Our latest experiment with IPA variants, Tasting Room – Red IPA features dank, punchy, fruity notes from late hopping with Chinook, Simcoe, Equinox and 6300. Dry-hopped with Simcoe, Amarillo and Citra, our red IPA is 5.8% ABV and 75 IBUs. For inspiration on the malt bill, our brewing team took cues from Irish Ale and chose Cara 120, Cara 300, Munich, Amber and Chocolate malts to complement our base pale malt. The blend of hops provides complex, fruity notes to offset the blend of malts.

Boulevard Red IPA will be available in the Sample Twelve mix packs in starting in April.
