All Boulevard beers begin with specially selected, carefully inspected ingredients. Their brewing process is designed to maximize flavor, from the brew house to the bottle. Every step along the way is evaluated for its contribution to flavor and quality.
At Boulevard, they employ a time-honored technique known as bottle conditioning to help their beers taste fresher longer. The master brewer, ferments, and filters the beer as usual, then a small amount of yeast is added to the beer just before bottling. The packaged beer is transferred to their temperature-controlled warehouse, where it is held for two weeks to allow a secondary fermentation to take place in the bottle. This secondary fermentation consumes much of the residual oxygen, greatly enhancing the stability and longevity of the beer, and producing a remarkable and otherwise unattainable depth of flavor.
