Boulevard Brewing Releasing Aronia Berry Kriek Ale

Introducing:

Aronia Berry Kriek

Wild Ale Aged on French Oak

In a unique collaboration celebrating local agriculture and Kansas City’s native plants, Boulevard Brewing Company has teamed up with Powell Gardens, Kansas City’s botanical garden with the release of Aronia Berry Kriek Ale. This limited wild ale offers a unique taste experience and shines a spotlight on the region’s natural heritage, featuring aronia berries—a fruit prized for its earthy, tart profile and deep connection to Midwestern ecosystems.

Brewer Brent Cox highlighted how the aronia berry’s characteristics complement the beer’s complexity. “We used a blend of wit beer and wild Saison that had been aging in oak for six months as the base. The slight acidity in the base beer pairs well with the berry’s tartness, bringing a wine-like depth with a cherry-like undertone. Aging it on the aronia berries has elevated those notes to a dry, refreshing finish that leaves you wanting another sip.”

This striking and delicious beer is now available, ONLY in the Tours & Rec Center. 4 packs are priced at $19.99.
