Tank 7 Farmhouse Ale - A long time employee favorite, this saison from Boulevard’s Smokestack Series is one of the best Belgian-style ales brewed in the country. Beginning with a big surge of fruity aromatics and grapefruit-hoppy notes, the flavor of this complex, straw-colored ale tapers off to a peppery, dry finish.
Heavy Lifting India Pale Ale -This is one of Boulevard’s newest beers in it’s year round line up! Heavy Lifting explodes with flavor from a huge helping of five remarkably zesty and piney hops (Centennial, Citra, Amarillo, Topaz and Cascade). Packed with a big, hop forward punch and a huge aroma this beer is stays perfectly quaffable.
Calling IPA - This may be one of the best double IPA’s to emerge this year! The Calling is Boulevard’s most heavily hopped beer ever, bursting forth with unmistakable tropical fruit and pine hop aromas and flavor supported with a slightly sweet malt character, tapering to a crisp, dry finish. This beer is the hop lover’s delight.
