Sample the Boulevard

BOULEVARD

Boulevard Brewing Company’s is changing up how you will get their newest beers. It will be in their “Sample Twelve” package which “will feature three bottles each of two exclusive Tasting Room beers.”

I don’t normally buy sampler packs.  Space is an issue (because my fridge is usually pretty full).  But also because there are sometimes clinkers in the pack.  Something you now have three or four of to drink or pawn off on someone else.  But….

More from their press release: “The first two new beers included in the pack are Westside Rye Ale, a sessionable beer with a slightly spicy character, and Mid-Coast I.P.A. —at 100-plus IBU’s, the hoppiest member of Boulevard’s current family. Unfiltered Wheat Beer and 80-Acre Hoppy Wheat Beer will round out the initial Sample Twelve lineup.”

Because, we in L.A. are just getting some Boulevard and I happen to see this sampler, it will be all new beers for me and will be good to split with a drinking buddy.  (looking at you, Cap’n)

The 12 pack will be  “rotated with new selections in early 2014.”
