From TheKCGuy

I finally got to try a bit of Boulevard Pilsner a few times over the last few weeks and I'm a big fan. I actually don't usually fawn over everything that Boulevard produces. In fact, I can think of at least two beers that they make that should be grounds for some kind of class action suit. But, their pilsner is worth a try.

Given the amount of coverage that the local bloggers have given the pilsner, I was pretty interested in it. Here are some of the posts that I can recall reading over the past month about it:

• Bull E. Vard threatened to mow his lawn just so that he could experience the refreshment afterwards
• Owen from Fat City seems to have been just one step smarter and convinced two other guys to mow his lawn before sampling it.

My solution was to do no actual manual labor, but to just stand outdoors for a moment while I enjoyed the first few sips of one. Then, I was back to the air-conditioning. Indoors or out, I can confirm that Boulevard Pilsner blows doors off of the reborn Schlitz for about the same price, and unlike PBR, it's not necessary that it is kept near the freezing point to be tolerable. Thanks, Boulevard. Please keep this one in the year-round rotation.
