Kansas Citians can get a whole new morning perk-up starting next Tuesday. That’s when Boulevard’s Coffee Ale – a collaboration with the Roasterie that is the latest in their Smokestack series – will start showing up on store shelves. By the end of next week, It should be everywhere that regularly stocks Boulevard beer.

Back in February, The Pitch wrote about how the collaboration came to pass and what led Boulevard to forgo making a coffee stout or porter. If you’re hoping for a caffeine fix, though, you’ll have to look elsewhere, because Boulevard’s Elizabeth Belden estimates that you’d need to drink 9 pints of Coffee Ale to equal the caffeine in one cup of coffee.
