Boulevard Smokestack Rye on Rye....$11.99 / 750ml


Why Rye? This assertively flavorful grain is more often associated with whiskey than beer. Even in that arena, it has largely been eclipsed by corn and barley, the sources of Bourbon and scotch. But when we procured some seasoned barrels from our friends at Templeton rye, we asked ourselves, "Why not? Why not brew a rich, tawny rye ale, then mellow it in the warthm of charred oak rye whiskey casks? Two kinds of malted rye provide a spicy sweetness, giving way to notes of caramelized wood and the citrusy tang of Perle, Magnum, and Saphir hops before easing into a dry, lingering finish." -- back label






Boulevard Smokestack Dark Truth Stout....$8.49 / 750ml


"Throughout the ages, man has been fascinated by the quest for hidden knowledge, the search for the secret to transforming the elemental into the extraordinary, the simple into the sublime. Ladies and gentlemen, we present for your consideration this exotic, inky concoction, the almost magical creation of our modern day alchemists who have turned humble grains -- barley, wheat, rye, and oats -- into black, liquid gold. Layers of complex flavors slowly emerge from the glass: espesso, roasted fig, creme brulee. Belgian yeast provides a plum-like fruitiness, noble German hops reveal spicy, herbal notes, while rich, velvety mouthfeel mellows to a day, smoky finish." -- back label

Boulevard's facebook page is indicating a mid February release for both the rye and stout.

That is what my rep just said... "Looking at mid-February though if all goes well."
