Wednesday, we stayed in and got take-out from Joe's Kansas City BBQ.
Thursday, I finally took the Boulevard Brewery tour, starting with a glass of Tank 7, and got to see the brewing operation.

Our tour guide showing where the brewery began. This section was the entire operation in 1989, but now is used for experimental beers. |
The tour ended with a beer and food tasting, featuring The Calling Double IPA and an open-faced ham sandwich with Clementine-Thyme marmalade, The Sixth Glass Quadrupel with brie and fig, The Bourbon Barrel-Aged Quadrupel (BBQ, made from The Sixth Glass aged in bourbon barrels and my favorite from the tasting) and goat-cheese cheesecake with blackberry, and The Dark Truth Imperial Stout and a chocolate chip cookie. All food came from KC restaurants and bakeries.
I picked up some yummy beer, including a four-pack of the BBQ, and a jar of the marmalade to bring home to Chicago.
I did a lot of writing - more on that (and hopefully some good news) later - and finished a couple books. Now, back to Chicago!
