Here are the previous releases in stock from the Boulevard Smokestack series..
The Sixth Glass Quadrupel...$8.49 / 25oz
"Do you know what dwells in a glass?" asks Ole, in Hans Christian Andersen's The Watchman of the Tower. Better known for stories such as The Little Mermaid, Andersen wrote this short, cautionary tale for a somewhat older audience. Our quadrupel ale, also meant for the mature connoisseur, is a deep and mysterious libation, dark auburn and full-bodied, its sweetness deceptive. As Ole describes the glasses in turn, their contents become more ominous until, in the sixth glass..." -- Boulevard

Long Strange Tripel..$8.49 -- 25oz
Belgian Tripel Style Ale
"The Tripel style originated in the Trappist brewery of Westmalle Abbey in pre-war Antwerp province. Its numeric moniker results from the old Belgian practice of naming beers based on the amount of malt used in the brew. A "Simple" was the lightest-bodied brew. Doubling the malt bill resulted in a "Dubbel", while a "Tripel" contained three times the amount of malt (and, as a result, three times the amount of alcohol.) True to style, our Long Strange Tripel is a golden ale with estery aromas, a dense, creamy head and a sweet finish." -- Boulevard

Double Wide I.PA....$8.49 -- 25oz
Double India Pale Ale
"Double-Wide I.P.A. uses Zeus and Magnum hops for both bittering and aroma with Ahtanum hops added for aroma. There are two additional dry hopping regimen, employing Ahtanum, Centennial and Chinook hops. The resulting beer is hop forward aroma, redolent of peach and apricot. The assertive flavor bursts with the citrus qualities of blood orange and lemon with a slight caramel malt backbone to balance the intense hop flavor. There is little restraint in the flavor of this beer; it is certainly not for the pedestrian palate." -- Boulevard
Rated 96 percentile on http://www.ratebeer.com/
Saison....$8.49 -- 25oz
Bottle Conditioned French style ale.
"Saison is the French word for "season," in this case referring to beer brewed during the cool winter months for consumption during the warm working season, when a scarcity of potable water demanded that a thirst-quenching beer be readily available to satisfy farmers and field hands" -- Boulevard
