Boulevard Chocolate Ale... Enjoy it! But don't be that guy!

Boulevard's widely acclaimed and publicized Chocolate Ale is being released this week. The beer will be on tap in the Kansas City area starting today! Boulevard has promised just under half of their entire production of this beer to be kept in the Kansas City area. This might be because previous year's releases went to other markets and sat around unsold, while there was extreme shortage around here. OR the reason could be that Boulevard loves us and wants to treat their home market. You decide... Unfortunately, due to inclement weather, bottles of the Chocolate Ale will not be in stores until Wednesday at the earliest. It was supposed to come out tomorrow.

Regardless of how you feel about the beer, this is a limited release beer. I believe there are, or at least should be a code among craft beer drinkers.

Here are a couple starter suggestions for the code:

  1. When you hear of good beer on limited release, let others know.
    • This may be counterproductive if you think about potentially not getting the beer you want.
    • But think about it this way:
      • Helping others always makes you feel good
      • Maybe one day they help you find a beer
      • Who knows they could buy you that beer
  2. No matter what, DON'T BE THAT GUY!!!

    • This guy is a jerk and probably has a big truck because he might be compensating for something
    • The resale of alcohol without a license is illegal, so I wouldn't advise it
      • Excuse my language but anyone that would do this is a money grubbing asshole and I wouldn't want to be friends with that person anyway
Now if you are looking for the beer on tap:

I will also add a section for places selling the Chocolate Ale in bottles.
