Boulevard Brewing Introduces Rye on Rye Maple as Next Limited Release

Posted on by mashingin

BoulevardLogoBlackBoulevard Brewing Co. (Kansas City, Missouri) has officially announced that it will begin the Limited Release of Rye on Rye Maple on April 6.

The result of “patience, great barrels and creative brewers,” Rye on Rye Maple takes Boulevard’s Rye on Rye — “a complex yet approachable ale that defies categorization” — and ages it “to perfection” in barrels that were “used to age Templeton Rye 4, then filled with Vermont maple syrup for two months, then re-filled with whiskey to create Templeton Rye Maple Cask Finish.”  This treatment produces a multilayered Rye Beer that is “bold and complex, with aromas of maple syrup (duh!), caramel, butterscotch, hazelnut and oaky vanilla that emanate from the glass.” Weighing in at a massive 13.2% ABV, Rye on Rye Maple “is deceptively smooth for a beer with these epic levels of robust booze character.”

“This year’s blend comes from aging [Boulevard’s] Rye on Rye base beer four different ways:”

  • 31% – Templeton Rye Maple Cask Finish barrels
  • 35% – Templeton 4 year barrels
  • 27% – Templeton 4 year barrels with Maple syrup added after 8 months
  • 7% – 2018 Rye on Rye, double barrel-aged

Rye on Rye Maple is scheduled to hit the Greater Kansas City area on April 6 with wider distribution to follow shortly after that date. You can expect to find this Limited Release available in 4-packs of 12 oz. bottles at select craft beer-friendly establishments located within Boulevard Brewing Co.’s distribution area.  Prost!
