    Long Strange has been out of the GA market for over a year, I thought it was already retired.

    I always thought Imperial Stout used an American yeast strain, not Belgian like Dark Truth. Either way, sad to see the DT go, it's a great beer.

    A barleywine is an exciting prospect.

    Imperial Stout is fermented with a Scottish yeast strain.

    First off, thanks a ton to @TheJermis for consistently responding to concerns and/or questions related to Boulevard Beers. Also wanted to apologize for my over-the-top response a couple months ago to Jeremy in regards to finding highly discounted Boulevard Imperial Stouts in Seattle.

    Grabbed some 'Funky Pumpkin' and 'Funkier Pumpkin' the other day. My personal opinion/taste is that Funkier Pumpkin was better, so not stressing too much over Funky Pumpkin being dropped.

    Also seeing FRESHER Boulevard Wheat Beer showing up in the Pacific Northwest, which is more fantastic news!

    Am I missing something? No more Tell Tale Tart?

    Tell-Tale Tart is being retired in 2017.

    I'm really excited for 4 packs of the Imperial Stout........maybe I missed the post but is BBQ going to be 4 packs or stay in the 25 oz bottle?

    Awesome, thanks. Love the plan of nixing the 25 oz bottle for that one.

    Year-round BBQ tastes just as good as once-a-year BBQ to me.

    Two Jokers was an imperial witbier, not an imperial pils.

    You and me both. I always thought Dark Truth was highly underrated. I'll be searching out a four-pack as a sendoff.

    As to the rest, I think they're really going in an amazing direction. I am hesitant on an imperial pils since I feel imperializing a pilsner is basically counter to everything pilsners are about, but I will hold off on final judgment until I actually taste it myself.

    A year-round koelsch is extremely welcome.

    Scotch on Scotch will be great, I'm sure. I want more scotch-barrel aging (and I still want more wine barrels involved in non-wild, non-saison styles).

    It's a great beer, but there are so many incredible stouts I'll be ok. I just need to find a good option for a Belgian stout and am very open to any suggestions for a replacement.

    I find it very different than lots of other stouts, even other Belgian stouts, so for me it won't be as easily replaceable.

    I would say you should seek out De Struise Black Albert, De Struise Cuvee Delphine, Allagash Black, and Great Divide Belgian Yeti.
