The brewmaster for Boulevard was in St. Louis not too long ago and mentioned that they were doing a collaboration with another brewery -- he would not divulge any more details. I asked him: was it with another American craft brewer? European? He would not say.
And then this week --
Jean-Marie Rock was in Kansas City visiting the brewery? Could that be the collaboration? Jean-Marie Rock, the brewmaster of the famous trappist brewery -- ORVAL? Boulevard would not confirm the rumor. We will have to wait and see, but that would be one exciting collaboration!
Right now, you can enjoy the great beers separately:
"The gustative sensations will gain in nuance depending on the age of the beer. Young beer is characterised by a bouquet of fresh hops, with a fruity note and pronounced bitterness, light on the palate and a less firm collar than a beer of six months. The latter will feature a bouquet consisting of a blend of fragrances of yeast and old-fashioned hop. The bitterness is more diffuse and the taste has moved to a slight touch of acidity accompanying yeast and caramel flavours. Served without its sediments, a beer of six months or more, has a particularly bright appearance." -- Orval
