Boulevard Collaborates with Deschutes - WHITE IPA

BIG NEWS from Boulevard!!

Collaboration with Deschutes!

(Deschutes has announced that it plans on distributing in Missouri this year)

Coming this Summer to The Wine and Cheese Place- watch for it

Boulevard Brewing (Kansas City, MO) has teamed up with Deschutes Brewery (Bend, OR) to produce a Collaboration beer---actually two!  (This rumor has been out there for awhile).  Each brewery will brew the same recipe for the "White IPA" at their respective breweries.  Boulevard will release theirs in the 750ml Smokestack Series and Deschutes will release theirs in 22oz Conflux series.

The big question -- will Deschutes be distributing in Missouri by the time this beer is released so that we can get both beers?

Boulevard Smokestack Series Collaboration No.2.

"Boulevard Brewing Company and Deschutes Brewery are jointly crafting a beer described as a "White I.P.A.," slated for release in Summer 2011.  Combining Boulevard's expertise at making Belgian-style witbiers with Deschutes' skill at brewing hop-forward ales, the beer puts a new spin on the idea of collaborative brewing.   Working from a single recipe, brewmasters Steven Pauwels of Boulevard and Larry Sidor of Deschutes are producing two separate beers, more than 1,600 miles apart.

Pauwels and Sidor first began exploring the idea of working together after they frequently crossed paths at the craft beer events around the country.  The two have much in common in their brewing philosophies, each pushing the envelope whenever possible, yet remaining dedicated to the time-honored traditions that keep them consistent and grounded.
Despite the beers' shared recipe, each of the two versions will develop a distinct, unique identity, to be reflected in their naming and packaging.  Boulevard's half of the equation, christened Collaboration No.2, will be distributed throughout their 20-state region in kegs and 750ml bottles, as part of the Smokestack Series seasonal lineup.  Brewed at their Bend, Oregon facility, Deshutes' effort will be the second beer in their new Conflux collaboration series, and will be distributed throughout their 18-state region in kegs and 22-ounce bottles.
