Really excellent interview of John McDonald, the founder of Boulevard Brewery in Kansas City, MO, who is celebrating their 21st birthday this year, and has really been knocking it out of the park lately with their Smokestack Series beers. My wife is from KC and so we head down there quite a bit to visit family. Iif a place has Boulevard on tap, I’ll order it, even though I never order it or buy...
