Wednesday, August 14 at 4:00 PM – Home States Celebration featuring Boulevard ZON – Smith Commons – 1245 H Street NE
Boulevard has teamed up with Smith Commons, and several local organizations representing natives of the central Midwest, to celebrate the territory that has sustained the brewery over its first 25 years in business. ZON Belgian-style Witbier is the home state's summer seasonal, a GABF Gold Medal Winner, and is very rarely seen on the East Coast despite its extremely loyal following back home. It will be poured alongside DC favorite Single-Wide IPA and the renowned Saison-Brett. Smith Commons will be paying homage to the KC faithful by featuring Cowtown's favorite cuts: brisket and strip steak. All specialty items will be available a la carte. No ticket required. Boulevard Representative "Heff" Matthew Heffernan will be on hand to sample and talk beer. Come enjoy this easy sipping wit in the summer breeze on Smith's large back patios, and raise a glass to the heart of the US.
