Boulevard’s Imperial Stout to hit shelves next Tuesday

The difficulty with barrel-aged beers is that they require so much patience. Well, the wait is almost over for fans of Boulevard’s Imperial Stout — the seventh entry in the local brewery’s Smokestack Series. 

“We tried to make it bolder than it was in 2009 and also noticed that it has some wild yeast characteristics,” Boulevard brewmaster Steven Pauwels says.

Imperial Stout will begin appearing on local liquor-store shelves as soon as Tuesday. But depending on the delivery schedule of the distributor, Central States Beverage Company, it might not show up until later in the week.
