Kansas: Boulevard Brewing Company, 80 Acre Hoppy Wheat
The original Boulevard Brewing Company began in an old brick building. Using equipment from a closed Bavarian brewery, the brewery combined German traditions and American heritage. Going back to Prohibition times, the brewery focused on providing locally produced beers to the surrounding region. Over time, the local beers were becoming favorite with people far away from Kansas.
Today, Boulevard Brewing Company is part of a larger beer organization. Even with its larger backing, the flavors and foundation that started the brewery remain. From lighter pilsners to robust ales, the brewery offers a variety of flavor profiles. One interesting fact about the brewery is that several of its beers have been certified kosher. Boulevard Brewing Company is considered one of the largest Midwest craft brewers.
Many of Boulvevard Brewing Company’s beers have a farming theme. If you are not sure which beer is right for you, the Boulevard Brewing Company website has a perfect beer match maker. Using terms like crisp, hop, malt, roast, fruit, and sour, even the beer novices or non-beer drinkers can find a beer that is perfect for their taste profile.
One of Boulevard Brewing Company’s most drinkable beers is the 80 Acre Wheat. This wheat beer offers all the wheat flavor without feeling like you are drinking a loaf of bread. By combining a wheat style with IPA notes, the resulting hybrid is perfect after a long day in the Midwest sun.
Since Kansas is known for great barbecue, the 80 Acre Wheat would be great with a big stack of ribs or even a decadent macaroni and cheese.
Boulevard Brewing Company beers are available at various retailers. Check the company’s website for a retailer.
