Another new Boulevard Smokestack is due out next week.  Boulevard Collaboration No. 1 is an Imperial Pilsner from the mind of Orval master brewer Jean-Marie Rock.  Boulevard master brewer Steven Pauwels invited Rock to KC so the two could brew this beer, which is currently receiving rave reviews from those lucky enough to get a preview. If you would like to preview this yourself, Boulevard would like to invite you to the Oread in Lawrence, KS on Monday (1/18) to sample the beer and have an opportunity to interact with Pauwels and Rock.  The event starts at 8PM and all Boulevard fans or general beer enthusiasts are welcome.

It has only taken a year and a half, but I finally broke into the Flying Saucer’s Top 10 alcoholics in KC. I also have the strong urge to change my name to the Six-Fingered Man for the next week or so.  To celebrate, I’m going to go drink some beer at a bowling alley this evening. Only 15 more beers until I get my saucer on the wall.  When my daughter grows up and asks why I wasn’t around much for the first two years of her life, it will be nice to be able to take her into a bar and show her all that her father has accomplished.

Toad’s Pub & Perk

I can’t say the idea of a coffee/public house combo is something I would be interested in visiting.  Using a graphic of a frog licking a fly on your signage makes sure the closest I get is dropping my wife off for a hair appointment.

While my wife and in-laws play with my daughter at the lake, I am sitting in a dark basement, watching football, drinking some of Minnesota’s finest and eating an entire buffalo chicken Red Baron.  Can three will be arriving shortly.

Black Clover Beerfest is going down tonight at the Riot Room.  I’ll be there with the wife.  If you see us, wish us a happy anniversary by letting us get in the tasting lines in front of you.

After weeks of finding nothing on the shelves, I resorted to begging a Boulevard employee for a taste of the highly anticipated Seeyoulator doppelbock.  The beer was smooth and the cedar aging is something you need to experience for yourself.

I like how it looks like he is stiff-arming the Tallgrass Köld.  I wish my tastebuds could have done the same thing.

Another new Boulevard.  Another pry-top.  I’m liking the trend.  As for the beer itself?  Most of my pilsner experiences these days involve pouring half a can of V8 into a Miller Lite.  That is not necessary here.  I will probably keep some handy at the house through the summer months.

Chronicles of Beernia #1 - Abita Jockamo IPA. Ack.  I picked up a six-pack of this a couple months ago on the way home from work while desperate to try something new.  Abita had never done me wrong with offerings like Turbodog and Amber.  This logo is vaguely racist, but the only thing being discriminated on are my tastebuds.
