Tap List | Boulevard Brewing Co.’s Latest Release Aged In Tequila Casks Mariachi Moonshine Release To Benefit Mattie Rhodes Center

A beer that has spent nine months in bourbon barrels and an additional six months in tequila casks deserves your time. Boulevard Brewing Co. has teamed up with Mattie Rhodes Center to create Mariachi Moonshine. Every bottle sold will raise $1 for Mattie Rhodes, which “provides a holistic approach to individual and family well-being through social services, behavioral health counseling and the arts.”

Mariachi Moonshine comes in at 13.7% and is touted as a “barleywine like no other.” It will release Friday starting at 10 a.m. at Boulevard’s Beer Hall & Gift Shop. You can taste the beer on draft and purchase up to two 4-packs at the gift shop. There may be a few surprises for customers as well. 

If you absolutely can’t wait until Friday to get your hands on this beer, Boulevard is hosting a pick-up party in their Rec. Center on Thursday from 5-8 p.m. A $30 ticket to the event includes a draft pour, a bottle to take home, the opportunity to purchase up to two additional 4-packs before everyone else, and a poster designed by Edwing Mendez. While you’re enjoying the new release, you also can support Mattie Rhodes by bringing in art supplies anytime during the weekend.
