Boulevard’s Bourbon Barrel Quad now on shelves

Boulevard Brewery’s Bourbon Barrel Quad (BBQ) was a Smokestack Series beer released in two small batches last year. But a quick sellout and local demand means it’s back on store shelves this week.

“After the success of last year’s Limited Release Bourbon Barrel Quad, we decided it deserved a reappearance,” says Jeremy Ragonese, Boulevard’s director of marketing. “Many of our loyal fans were unable to secure a bottle of the first batch, and though the amount we’re able to produce is still relatively small (largely dictated by the number of barrels used for aging), we’re all glad to see it return.”

The beer is a quadrupel that draws a lot of taste from fermented cherries and the oak bourbon barrels in which it’s aged for up to a year.
