Boulevard’s Session IPA Hits This Week

Boulevard Pop-Up IPA

Boulevard Brewing Company (Kansas City, MO) is releasing Pop-Up Session IPA this week. This isn’t just any IPA either. This offering is meant to be a sessionable offering at a mere 4.2% ABV. Think of it as the lighter hearted sibling of  Single-Wide & Double-Wide brews, with a fruity hop heart. You’ll see this year round in 12oz bottles and draft.

Boulevard Pop-Up Session I.P.A. joins its big brothers Single-Wide and Double-Wide in our trailer park of hop-centric beers. This “session” model is built for frequent excursions, with a very drinkable character and relatively low bitterness tucked behind a big, fruity hop aroma 

Style: IPA
Availability: 12oz bottles, Draft. Year Round

4.2% ABV, 42 IBUs

This Is Sierra Nevada’s Beer Camp Sampler 2013

Sierra Nevada Beer Camp 2013

The next release of Sierra Nevada’s Beer Camp is upon us. Lucky attendees make a pilgrimage to Chico, California all year long to try their hand at brewing. The best of the best make it into a sampler pack. This August, look these beers in the 2013 edition (See L-R):

#93 IPA–This IPA sacrifices nothing for its drinkability, flexing big time flavor and complexity. The light color disguises the depth of the malt backbone, a pillar that balances the potent whole-cones of the piney-citrus Cascade and tropical fruit-like Citra hops.
#94 Belgian-style Black IPA–This beguiling black IPA takes a tropical detour with a dose of new world hops, featuring lemony Sorachi Ace and fruity Nelson Sauvin varieties. A Belgian yeast works with the exotic hop profile, emphasizing its complex and fruity flavors.

#95 Imperial Red Ale–Our aggressive Imperial Red Ale is a massive mix of smooth malts and West Coast hops that have no patience for the lupulin leery. This crimson beer starts with caramel-like malt flavor that can’t suppress the assertive, citrusy hop finale.

Sierra Nevada Beer Camp Beers are available in 12oz/12 pack cases, and very limited draft offerings.

Styles: IPA, Belgian-Style Black IPA, & Imperial Red
Arrival: August, 2013
