Full article in link.

Boulevard will introduce its beers in New York City on March 2 — Tank 7 Farmhouse Ale, The Sixth Glass, Dark Truth Stout, Long Strange Tripel and The Calling IPA, along with a handful of Limited Release and seasonal Smokestack Series beers. Then it will promote the beers at about 40 events throughout the city from March 3 to 5.

Let me rephrase, perhaps I was a bit careless in my wording. Pliny is a good beer. It's got a cult following that it just silly at times. When craft beer wasn't such a crowded business, it did really stand out. But as craft has grown, other brewers are putting out beers that are just as good or better.

If you enjoy Pliny, I would encourage you to seek out something like Zombie Dust by 3 Floyds, or Heady Topper by the Alchemist. When considering California beers specifically, I'm also a big fan of FW Union Jack and any of Alpine's offerings, Duet and Nelson being my particular favorites.

I reeeeeallly want to get my hands on some Zombie Dust. I hear it is wonderful.

Zombie Dust is very tasty. I'm also a big fan of Alpha King by 3 Floyds, a super balanced American Pale Ale. Keep your eyes open for PseudoSue or Golden Nugget by Toppling Goliath too, their beers are causing quite a stir in the craft beer community. They are currently having some growing pains as a business though and I hope it doesn't cause them to fade off.

I still prefer Pliny to Heady Topper. Also, I can get Pliny on-tap pretty much whenever I feel like it. Mwahahaha.

phisherman · 02-27-2015, 03:32 PM

I prefer the citrus character of Heady to the super-dank piney character of fresh Pliny.

I'll give Pliny one thing, it sure looks a heck of a lot better in a glass than Heady does.

I've come to learn that I really like "Piney" beers. Not sure why..

You'll have quite the beer boner then when you try The Calling, Boulevard's new replacement for Double Wide.

Giggity... is it in stores yet?

I've got a poker game tonight, I might just have to swing by Gomers and grab some if so. You're welcome to join if you don't have anything going. It's at Sweet Will's place. $10 tourney. Would be good to BS with you..

The Calling hits stores on March 3rd. It's already out in kegs.

Try the doublewide IPA, or my personal favorite the Pop-up Session IPA.

I'm in Omaha this week and picked up a six of the Single-Wide IPA. I'm not a huge fan of IPAs any more, but it is really, really good. Thanks for the recommendation (even though I got single-wide).

phisherman · 03-04-2015, 04:47 PM

Oh well, it's better that you liked the Single Wide anyway. The Double Wide is being discontinued in favor of a different imperial IPA, The Calling. Just picked up a 4 pack of it today and it's delicious.

I can't get that shit in Joplin. Why the **** does NYC get it?

Fish · 03-04-2015, 05:49 PM

The Calling is incredible.

Sure you can. Not necessarily on tap but Boulevard is everywhere.

You ever go to Instant Karma or Blackthorne?
