Create New Wish ListWe have just confirmed that Boulevard Brewing Company, the pride of Kansas City, Missouri, will be shipping their beers to Binny’s! The tentative release date is mid-April, and we are anticipating four year round beers in six-packs, as well as one seasonal beer available in six-packs. Also soon to be en route are four beers from Boulevard’s Smokestack series, available in 750ml corked and caged bottles and 4-packs. Since Boulevard has eight year round, five seasonal, and nine Smokestack beers listed on their website, you are probably eager to see what Boulevard will be bringing to Binny’s. So without further ado, here is the list (included in the list are the brewer’s descriptions):
Year Round Six-Packs
Unfiltered Wheat – A slightly cloudy, light-bodied, straw colored beer with a sweet, bready malt flavor, low hop bitterness and a hint of citrus.
Pale Ale – A crisp, amber colored, light- to medium-bodied beer with a mellow caramel malt character and prominent hop flavor and bitterness.
Single-Wide IPA – A golden colored beer with a prominent flowery, grapefruit hop aroma, a moderate caramel malt flavor and a dominant hop bitterness and flavor.
Bully! Porter – A dark colored, medium-bodied beer with a prominent burnt, roasted malt aroma and flavor and an equally prominent hop aroma, flavor and bitterness.
Seasonal Six-Packs
ZON Belgian-Style Witbier – A cloudy, straw colored beer with a bright fruity aroma, a moderate sweet, bready malt flavor and a low level of hop bitterness and a hint of spice.
Smokestack Beers
Tank 7 Farmhouse Ale – A straw colored, light to medium bodied beer with an earthy, spicy, grapefruit aroma and flavor, a soft, sweet malt flavor and a prominent hop bitterness.
The Sixth Glass – A brown colored, full bodied beer with a complex fruity, estery aroma, a rich, sweet, caramel malt flavor containing notes of dark fruit and a low to medium hop bitterness and flavor.
Dark Truth Stout – This is a full bodied beer whose general characteristics include a black, almost opaque appearance with a rich chocolaty and moderatly fruity aroma. The flavor is has an intense roasted malt character, exhibiting elements of dark fruit, coffee and sweet chocolate. The hop character has a moderate, balancing bitterness.
Double-Wide IPA – An amber-brown, full bodied beer with an intense floral, citrus hop aroma and pronounced hop bitterness and flavor, backed up by a strong caramel, toffee-like malt flavor.
Which of the Boulevard brews are you most looking forward to? Is it the flagship, Unfiltered Wheat, or perhaps one of the Smokestacks?
Greatest news ever! I have been asking Boulevard when they would break into the Chicago market for a while now. Hopefully I can quit smuggling kegs back from Peoria!
It looks like your boot legging habit will be coming to an end.
Kyle,I don’t see it in here, but will you be getting kegs too? Preferably 1/6th barrels!
Any chance we’ll get the Rye on Rye (templeton/LDI barrels) or the Bourbon Barrel Quad?
Cant wait Tank 7 is one of my all time favorite beers!!!!!
The beer gods have answered my prayers! Now the only reason to go back to KS is drinking Wheat on tap…
Great news. Maybe some day Free State will follow.
This is great news! I took the Boulevard Brewery tour two weeks ago and asked them when they would be in Chicago. The guide’s response was “We’ll be in all 50 states before we’re in Chicago.” Apparently they tried once before to get into the Chicago market.Now if we can just get it on tap in Chicago!
Boulevard fan for a long time. This is a long time coming. Can’t wait to take home some tank 7 and double wide. How about the BB Quad???
are they just coming to binny’s or the Chi market ? i spoke with their VP of Sales a few months ago and they are pullling from markets due to lackluster sales and did not have interest nor capacity for chicago, guess that changed ? Cheers
I’m KC as I write this and enjoyed several of the Smokestack beers last night. Glad to hear they’re coming to Binny’s. Tank 7 is a wonderful beer.
/slow clap.
Terrific news, Boulevard Wheat is a favorite! Glad I don’t have to rely on friends and family to bring it to Chi any more.
I brought back 6 bottles of Tank 7 from St Louis since I couldnt get it here. One of my favorites!! Cant wait.
This the best thing to happen since I tried Boulevard Wheat!
Tank 7 has been on draft at Twisted Spoke sporadically for a few months now.
As a Kansas City native, the lack of a supply of our beloved Boulevard in Chicago has been painful. We were ecstatic last weekend to see that this had changed. The Unfiltered Wheat is definitely our regular choice, and Sixth Glass is my favorite of them all. Of course, I’d join the chorus requesting the BBQ from the Smokestack Limiteds. I also hope you get some of the Smokestack seasonals like Harvest Dance Wheat Wine and Chocolate Ale. Zon and Irish Ale are my favorite of the regular seasonal. It’s hard not to like all of their beers.
I went to school in Missouri and drank all their styles with frequency. This is super exciting.
