November 18, 2015 PHOENIX, AZ- Boulevard Brewing Company and Hensley Beverage Company today announced plans for the formal introduction of Boulevard Brewing Company to Arizona, beginning with several state wide launch parties on December 9, 2015. Following the excitement of these parties, the Arizona craft beer community will be able to enjoy Boulevard Brewing’s year round Smokestack Series on shelves and on draft, with additional offerings from the brewery’s core lineup to follow later in 2016.

 “With the addition of six new 1,000-barrel fermentation tanks, plans to expand our distribution territory can become a reality,” said Bobby Dykstra, Vice President of sales for Duvel Moortgat USA. “There has been a strong and persistent demand for Boulevard beers in Arizona for quite some time and Kentucky is seeing an explosion of craft beer excitement. We’re thrilled to bring the taste of the Midwest to these states.” In addition to Arizona, Boulevard also announced 2015 expansion plans for Kentucky with several additional states to follow in 2016.
