Boulevard Collaboration No. 5 to Be Released Soon
Boulevard has had a lot of success collaborating with other breweries, so there’s no doubt their Collaboration No. 5 will be a big hit.
The newest collaboration started with a rollout of Boulevard beer in Florida. Cigar City hosted a tap takeover and Boulevard was impressed with their hospitality, kindness, and, of course, their beer. Cigar City has a lot of knowledge using tropical fruit flavors and Boulevard makes the best pale ales, so Collaboration No. 5 was a no brainer – Tropical Pale Ale. The ale is slightly tart and super citrusy due to it being briefly aged on passion fruit and grapefruit. It’s 7.3 ABV and 55 IBUs and was dry hopped with Lemondrop, Azacca, and Pacific Jade hops making the finish slightly tart with bright citrus character.
Boulevard will be hosting a Release Party in their Tasting Room on Friday, September 18. Music, food, and the beer will be available from 4pm until 7pm. The Collaboration will be available in stores the week of September 29, and will be the first time it’s packaged in 4 pack 12 ounce bottles. It will also be available in 1/6 bbl kegs.
