Boulevard in Cans
Just in time for National Beer Can Appreciation Day, Boulevard has announced they will start selling their beers in cans! January 24th is National Beer Can Appreciation Day and while you can’t enjoy Boulevard in a can just yet, you can appreciate the fact that beer has been sold in cans since 1935.
Boulevard has listened to their fans and is currently in the planning stages of bringing canned Boulevard beer to stores in 2015. They are finalizing details, but their goal is to release six packs of 12 ounce cans of Heavy Lifting IPA, Ginger Lemon Radler, Pop-Up Session IPA, and their ever-popular Unfiltered Wheat Beer.
Heavy Lifting IPA is based on the successful Tasting Room beer, Mid-Coast IPA. It will be a year-round offering available in both cans and on draft. It features massive late and dry-hopping with Centennial, Amarillo, Topaz, and Citra hops.
So, tomorrow, celebrate by popping open a can from Tallgrass or whatever can beer you enjoy and dream of the day when you can drink a nice, cold Boulevard can of beer.
Torn Label is primarily a production brewery, but has plans to open a tap room in the future. They tapped their first beers – Alpha Pale, House Brew, and Hang ‘Em High – at Waldo Pizza in December to a welcoming crowd. They are the first Kansas City, Missouri brewery with statewide distribution since Boulevard. Their beers include Alpha Pale (A hopped-up, sessionable pale ale), House Brew (a coffee wheat stout with Sumatran toddy from Thou Mayest Coffee Roasters), Monk & Honey (Belgo-American single brewed with honey from Peculiar, Missouri), Hang ‘Em High (a West Coast-style IPA), and Quadjillo (Belgian Quadrupel brewed with Guajillo chiles)
