MENU

Reception and Snack
Unfiltered Wheat | 4.4 ABV |
Boulevard Unfiltered Wheat Beer is a lively, refreshing ale with a natural citrusy flavor and distinctive cloudy appearance.
Steamed Edamame – Tossed with zesty black bean sauce and fresh herbs and sea salt

1st Course
80 Acre Hoppy Wheat | 5.5 ABV |
With roots in two of today’s most popular brewing styles, 80-Acre is a match made in heaven; delightfully distinctive ale with the aroma of an IPA and the refreshing taste of a wheat beer.
Cilantro Lime Chicken – Tossed with fresh veggies, garlic and a secret blend of spices in a tangy citrus sauce

2nd Course
Tank 7 Saison | 8.5 ABV |
Beginning with a big surge of fruity aromatics and grapefruit-hoppy notes, the flavor of this complex, straw-colored ale tapers off to a peppery, dry finish.
Fusion Roasted Pork Bao – delicately roasted pork, mozzarella and basil bao hand made by Chef Zhao

3rd Course
Double-Wide DIPA | 8.5 ABV |
Liberally hopped with toffee and caramel notes balancing out the lingering bitterness. Appreciate the complex blending of hop aromas, ranging from minty to citrusy, with subtle hints of pine.
Duck Fried Rice – House Tea Smoked Duck served with egg crepe

4th Course
The 6th Glass Belgian Dark Strong Ale | 10.5 ABV |
This quadrupel ale is a deep and mysterious libation, dark auburn and full-bodied, its sweetness deceptive.
Chocolate Pate with Pistachio Brittle – Hand crafted by Chef Kevin LaCivita of The Blue Goat Gastropub
