Boulevard Turns 26!

Posted November 13, 2015

Category: Beer News

On November 17th, we’ll celebrate the 26th anniversary of John McDonald delivering the very first keg of Boulevard Pale Ale to Ponak’s Mexican Kitchen & Bar less than a mile down Southwest Boulevard. Every brewery employee who’s been lucky enough to be involved with the Boulevard story has tons of great beer memories, but we recognize that none of this would exist without the amazing support from fans of great beer.

Because you’ve all been such a huge part of our story, we’d like to feature your favorite Boulevard memories as we celebrate our 26th year of brewing great beer. Send us a story, photo, or quick video sharing your favorite memory involving our beer. We’ll pick our 26 favorites and share them on our website and social media feeds. As a thank you, we’ll reward our favorites with guaranteed tour spots (no need to wait in line!) and a Boulevard Hall Pass good for beers on us and a special guest discount in our gift shop.

To submit your memory, simply tag us on Twitter (@Boulevard_Beer), Instagram (@BoulevardBeer) or Facebook between now and December 12th. Winners must be 21 years of age and no purchase is necessary to enter.

- Jeremy Danner, Ambassador Brewer

"My memory with Boulevard: for our wedding, my husband and I tried to be frugal and save money where we could ($90 wedding dress, no flowers, no matching dresses) but skimping on the bar was not an option. What kind of celebration would it be without a hometown brew? Thanks for always being there for every big event, Boulevard!"

We're amazingly honored to have been a part of your special night and thank you for being a part of the Boulevard story!

Like a lot of us in Kansas City, Ty from Twitter was overcome with baseball fever this fall. We salute his dedication to celebrating (and showering) with great beer.

This memory likely wasn't intended to be a team submission, but we laughed so hard, we had to select both Lauren and Ian Freudenburg as winners. Congratulations and we hope you're not still in trouble, Ian.
