Beer Me!

Chad and I took the afternoon off from work this past Friday and headed to the Boulevard Brewery for their monthly Brewmaster Luncheon.  This was our first time at the brewery.  We had wanted to take a tour of the brewery a few times, but it requires reservations and they are always booked months in advance.  So we opted for the Brewmaster Luncheon instead...a monthly event hosted by one of their brewmasters, who gives you a mini-tour.  The brewery brings in a local restaurant who creates a beer-paired lunch.  The tour starts off with a brew or two in their tasting room.  Here's a couple pics of the mini-tour...

The lunch created by National Golf Club north of Kansas City was superb!  Here's a few pics of the menu and food.  Each course was paired with Boulevard beers...one of them being a special collaboration beer brewed with Pretty Little Things gypsy brewers in Massachusettes.  

Afterwards you can hang around for another brew on their patio outside.  Even though it was sweltering on Friday afternoon, we chose to take in the view of the city!

We enjoyed ourselves so much!  We'll definitely be heading back there for another luncheon soon...maybe in the Fall when we can enjoy the patio a bit more!
