2017 Boulevard release calendar

This chart raises a lot of questions:

Milk Stout is already confirmed for next year, although it just made it's debut in the Sample 12 packs. Either Boulevard's tasting room feedback has been super great or their not really listening to consumer feedback.

Why keep Funkier Pumpkin around if Funky Pumpkin is getting the boot? It is weird to keep the name if the reference beer will no longer be around. I much prefer Funky to Funkier, but that aside, my issue is purely with the name.

It's nice to see ZON on the list but I am kind of annoyed they announced they were eliminating it. Boulevard claimed they intended to end production of ZON this year but "found time in their production shedule" to fit it in. I bought more than I would had I known it would still be around. Whether it's an intentional marketing thing or not, kind of annoying.

Barrel Aged Blend looks like it might be the successor to the not yet released Collaboration #6 with Firestone Walker. Either they're jumping the gun or they co-developed another barrel aged blended beer along side Colab. #6, as I don't think FW's beers will be featured in an official release. (though fellow DM subsidiary Ommegang's Three Philosopher's Ale does feature Liefman's Cuvee Brut (Kriek) and they're owned by DM as well.)

Goodbye Tell-Tale, Dark Truth, Funky Pumpkin and Deep Dive.

Super excited for the sours, the cider and Upper Crust Fruit Tart, whatever that is.
