I've alwasy really liked their beers. The Bully Porter being my favorite, followed by the Irish Ale, the Nutcracker in winter and Zon in Summer.
I first had one of their beers as part of a sampler I got when I had a subscription to Beer Across America fifteen years ago. A year later I went on a trip to KCMO and tried just about everything they offered at the time! Back then, good beer was more of an exception than the rule in the Midwest. Goose Island was just a small brewpub back then and many of the Midwestern breweries you think of today - Great Lakes, Bell's, New Glarus, Sprecher, Two Brothers - either didn't exist yet or weren't selling in my area yet. Summit and Blvd. are very similar to me, and not just b/c they both use squatty twist off bottles.
Because of that memory, Blvd. has always had a soft spot in my heart. I always stock up on their beers when I'm in MO, b/c you still can't get them in Chicago.
