Boulevard Brewing’s Bourbon Barrel Quad (BBQ) starts hitting shelves this week.  BBQ is loosely based on Boulevard’s The Sixth Glass quadrupel, aged in bourbon barrels, and a part of theSmokestack Series. Cherries are added to beer during barrel aging.  The best barrels are chosen and blended together.  The 2010 edition sat in the barrels from 8 months to 3 years, and was the first 100% barrel aged edition.
