I enjoy several of the Boulevard Smokestack series of beers. One of the local liquor stores where I live had a 4 course dinner set up with each course including a beer pairing from Boulevard. Unfortunately I was unable attend.
I did attend the same liquor store's "Spring Beerfest" today which included over 75 different beers. I'd probably pick O'Dell's St. Lupulin as my favorite beer tasted there that I had not had before.
What imperessed me the most, however, is that Boulevard founder/president John McDonald was at the beerfest serving beer and visiting with anyone that wanted to talk about beer. I realize it's not that big of a deal, but I did appreciate the fact that we was willing to just hang out and chat with folks while he could have just as easily been on his way back to KC after the dinner event.
If you've not tried any of the Boulevard Smokestacks, I'd recommend that you give them a chance. May not be to your liking, but I do enjoy them.
