Boulevard Brewing Co. will soon be in the Big Apple.
The company has signed agreements with Union Beer Distributors and Craft Beer Guild Distributing of New York.
Steve Mills, Boulevard’s vice president of sales, said in a statement: “New York City has been on our minds for some time. But we had to wait until we could do it right, to wait until we had the capacity and the right partners in place to support this important market. We’re really excited, and look forward to being part of the area’s happening beer scene.”
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.
