The Brew SiteThe news came out yesterday that Deschutes Brewery and Boulevard Brewing Company will be brewing a collaboration beer; I posted the press release which has the details, but the gist is that they’ll be working together on a “White IPA” (a counterpoint to all those Black IPAs?): it “combines Boulevard’s … Continue reading
Deschutes Brewery and Boulevard Brewing Company today announced that they will release two versions of a new collaboration beer later this summer. The style, which is described by brewmasters Steven Pauwels of Boulevard and Larry Sidor of Deschutes as a White I.P.A., combines Boulevard’s expertise in making Belgian-style witbiers with … Continue reading
