Last Wednesday we went on a
Free Public Tour of the
Boulevard Brewing Company.
Brewery production and new
construction.
In a turn of the century brick
building on the Historic South-
west Blvd., a vintage Bavarian
brewhouse was installed in 1988
with the mission to "produce fresh
flavorful beer using the finest
ingredients and the best of both old
and new brewing techniques.
Production began fully in 1989.
The Brewery offers three types of tours.
The Free Public Tour and Tasting which
is first come first served. Arrive early!
The Smokestack Tour and Tasting by
reservation only, focuses on the Smoke-
stack Series Brew-"a bigger, bolder and
higher alcohol content brew."
The Unfiltered Tour by reservation only,
this tour goes more in depth into the
brewery and it's production.
Plus they have 3 event spaces to rent for
weddings. receptions, meetings etc.
Are you ready?
Tickets for the 11:00 tour.
I'd like to introduce Bob--our tour
director.
The famous Smokestack.
Bob told us that back in the day
this used to be a laundry facility
for the railroad.
On the way up the stairs.
A look
inside the
brewery production line.
Boulevard is best known
for their Unfiltered Wheat
Beer, which is what is on
the line in the pic.
Not everyday that on finds their maiden
name on a beer poster.
Jazz and beer go together just right
for Kansas City. This was taken from
their beautiful patio.
Guess who? Getting really good
at the "Selfie thing."
Part of the tour is a tasting of two
beers each. They had a board
with a number of brews available
for that days tasting.
They were pretty good but not at
all used to drinking beer at 11:45
in the morning.
Fun place to tour. If you are in KC
check it out.
Friday we will finish with the
Vacation Highlights.
~Keep on Dreaming~
That sounds like fun! I'm not sure I could start drinking that early, but hey, you're on vacation :)
