Boulevard & Odell Brewing Announce Collaboration

During the SAVOR this week, Boulevard Brewing and Odell Brewing announced a special collaboration between the two breweries.

Odell and Boulevard opened a day apart, initially focusing on English-style beers. With that in mind, the breweries will create an English strong ale to be released in November, 2014.

“Back in the late ‘80s, there were only a handful of us crazy enough to start our own local breweries,” said John McDonald, Boulevard founder. “We leaned on each other to talk through ideas, brewing techniques and distribution methods. I’ve always respected Doug’s path and – looking at what Odell Brewing has become today – I’m proud to call him a friend and colleague.”

To celebrate the anniversaries, both breweries are planning special dinners, and tastings surrounding the release. 750ml bottles will release in Boulevard’s 25 states of distribution, and Odell Brewing’s 11 states.

Style: English Strong Ale
Availability: 750ml Bottles

Sierra Nevada’s Yonder Bock with Cigar City

Sierra Nevada’s Beer Camp is stepping up their Beer Camp Series. Coming this summer, Sierra Nevada will release an epic Beer Camp Across America Mix Pack featuring collaborations with breweries across America.

Sierra Nevada Yonder Bock is a can collaboration with Cigar City Brewing.

Brewed in collaboration with Cigar City Brewing in Tampa, FL, Yonder Bock is a Latin-inspired twist on a traditional Maibock. Cigar City finds inspiration in the Cuban roots of their hometown, which is a long way from our hometown, which is a long way from our home base in Chico, but our friends down yonder in Florida sure can brew a great beer. Yonder Bock blends a silky malt body with bright, fruity hop aromas of guava, mango and passion fruit from the use of Calypso, Azacca, and experimental 366 hops as a nod to Cigar City’s tropical locale.  

Yonder Bock is one of twelve offerings coming this July in Sierra Nevada’s Beer Camp Across America Mixed Pack.

Style: Maibock
Hops: Magnum, Azacca, Calypso, Experimental varieties
Malts: Vienna, Munich, Pilsner, Honey
Yeast: Lager
