The Super Bowl is right around the corner and for many of us this means two things – beer and football. No matter how loud your cousin Steve yells at the television screen, beer will flow like the waters of the Kaw, and nacho cheese will drip down our chests as Patrick Mahomes leads the Chiefs into their first Super Bowl in 50 years. So, whether you’re heading to a Super Bowl party this weekend, planning to watch the game from the comfort of your La-Z-Boy, or foregoing sports altogether, here at Flatland we’ve got you covered.

Tap News

Boulevard Brewing Co. recently announced that its popular Tank 7 (ABV 8.5%, 38 IBU) farmhouse ale will also be distributed in cans. The new packaging for Tank 7 hit shelves earlier this month and comes in four 16-ounce “tallboy” cans.

This release follows an announcement made by Boulevard back in 2015, when the company declared its intention to make canned Boulevard beer a reality. Since then, Boulevard has featured a series of canned beers, including their Steep Drop Milk Stout, Jam Band Berry Ale, Easy Sport Rally Ale and Tropical Pale Ale.

The canned Tank 7 represents Boulevard’s clearest sign yet that it can evolve beyond the long-standing perception that truly great beer cannot be canned.

“We’ve been around for over 25 years and we’ve seen a lot of changes in the beer industry, including amazing advances in canning technology,” said Jeremy Danner, former Ambassador Brewer at Boulevard, when the company first announced its canning strategy. “Evolution of our brewery is super important.”

Tap Notes

Boulevard Brewing Co.’s Tank 7 (8.5% ABV, 38 IBU) is a classic farmhouse ale with notes of grapefruit, hop, and green apple. If you haven’t had this beer before, what are you waiting for? Grab a six-pack in glass bottles or a four-pack of tallboy cans!

KC Bier Co.’s Dunkel (5.1% ABV, 18 IBU) is a Munich-style brown lager with strong notes of sugarcane, maple syrup and french toast. 

Free State Brewing Co.’s Oatmeal Stout is a delicious English oatmeal stout (6.1% ABV, 42 IBU) with notes of cherry and chocolate on the front end, followed by notes of pecan on the finish.

Public House Brewing Co.’s Elusive IPA clocks in at about 6.8% ABV (60 IBU). This beer is crafted with carefully selected hop varieties, and tastes like lemon, ginger and cinnamon.
