BREWERS ASSOCIATION AMERICAN CRAFT BEER LIST FOR CRAFT BEER RISING 2019





(subject to change)

Boulevard Brewing Co, Kansas, 

Bourbon Barrel Quad  11.2%
Barrel-Aged Belgian Quadrupel Ale.  Abbey-style quadrupel is separated into a number of oak bourbon barrels where it ages for varying lengths of time, some for up to three years. Cherries are added to make up for the “angel's share” of beer lost during barrel aging. Selected barrels are then blended for optimum flavor. The resulting beer retains only very subtle cherry characteristics, with toffee and vanilla notes coming to the fore.

Tank 7 Farmhouse Ale 7.2%
American Saison. 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.


Whiskey Barrel Stout
Over-the-top but urprisingly approachable, this twist on the classic style starts with several types of malted barley, rye, oats and wheat. Robust flavors of vanilla, espresso, whiskey, chocolate and roasted grain are balanced by hints of date and plum, with just enough hops to round it all out. Roughly one-third of the final blend is freshly brewed beer; the rest is aged for up to a year (or more!) in both first and second use whiskey casks.
