Boulevard: Most Under hyped Brewery There is?

I was always underwhelmed by Boss Tom's. No skin offa me.

 

Boulevard has some solid offerings. I personally see a fair amount of their beers posted on WBAYDN, not a ton, but there's a lot of breweries to go around! They hit fairly wide distro, so I think thats part of the reason you don't see them in the ISO:FT forum. Back in the day when Saison Brett was a top 100 beer, it was in the ISO:FT forum fairly often. A lot has changed over the last few years though, and now that place is packed with hoarders primarily looking for Whalez bro deals. Doesn't mean Boulevard doesn't make great beer.

 

Well, I think this year's Love Child releases should be ISO:FT. I'd imagine so, at least.

 

You can taste the hype around here in Pittsburgh my local House of 1,000 beers charges 5-7 dollars for singles of sixth glass and tank 7. You have to drive all the way to Ohio to pay a fair 3-4 dollars for these offerings.

 

Two Jokers terrible? Man I loved that beer last year and really wish they were brewing again this year. To each their own though.

 

Two Jokers was...fine. But Entwined was a rare flop, for certain.

 

I am very happy that we're starting to get a lot of their stuff here. I've tried most of their beers that we get and I've been impressed overall. Some are good, some are excellent. Thought Love Child #4 was delicious!

 

We just got them here recently also so I've only had a few but Love Child #4 was one of the best sours I've had (also ISO lol). I would say they are very underrated on their limited releases, and Tank 7 is very solid year round saison. I personally didn't like Sixth Glass though....

 

I've got a bottle of this I'm sitting on, for no real reason. @TheJermis any insight on now, later or anytime for Rye on Rye?

 

I will agree with that. I like the concept of Entwined but the beer was just not very good. They redeemed themselves, however, with Hibiscus Gose. Pumped for this summer when I can get that and Ginger Lemon Radler in cans!

 

I live in a frustrating beer market. The Hibiscus Hose got some play around here, along with Tank 7. Their BA RIS and other limited releases pretty much never make it to my corner of VA. Dark Truth came and went, which is a tragedy. The wheat was pulled off the shelves when it sold poorly during the Winter.

I'm nostalgic about the wheat. I spent a lot of my life in the KC area and that was my beer to alternate with stouts from March-September. Nothing like it on a hot day with the ole KC style lemon wedge thrown in. Are they surprised it didn't sell well in nJanuary! Hope it and Dark Truth comes back for the Summer.

 

If you've never had the beer fresh, definitely drink it now. We strongly believe in releasing beer that's ready to drink. We've already done the work of aging it for you.

 

I spent a week in KC and was ready to stab myself if one more bartender said something like, 'oh you like microbreweries? have you ever heard of Tank 7?'

 

Well, before too long, if you happen to return to KC they should have some more breweries elevated to a higher distro level for bartenders to discuss. I figure they're almost there with KC Bier Co, and not too far behind with Martin City, Cinder Block, and the brand new Torn Label. I hope Big Rip gets out there sometime soon as well; I really enjoy their stuff.

 

You gotta try the Lovechild...any of them!

 

They need to scale their production back, maybe by 90%. Then they'll be the Best Beer Ever.

 

Love Child and Saison Brett are amazing beers. They sit on shelves for most of the year here which is fine by me!

 

I've read so many mixed reviews of the coffee stout and am very anxious to try it myself. No distro for Boulevard here in VT yet, but have a bottle coming in trade so I'll get to judge for myself. For the folks out there who have tried it, how pronounced is the coffee flavor? I've read both extremes and in between.

 

They rolled out in fla market a while back. Bought a single of each one. Outside of the hoppy wheat I loved all their beer. That tank 7 is unreal. I'll give them props anytime I can

 

Boulevard is great imo. I dont have a opinion on weather or not they are hyped enough. All I know is Tank 7, Double Wide,
Dark Truth, and Collaboration 4 were all awesome, and Sixth Glass is good. So far although that is a limited sample of beers from them, and mostly flag ships, it's still a dang good batting average.
