Drink of the Week: Boulevard Brewing’s 80-Acre Hoppy Wheat

With temperatures forecasted to top 100 degrees here in Portland, Oregon this weekend, we’re planning to keep cool with a frosty pint in hand, and today’s Drink of the Week—Boulevard Brewing’s 80-Acre Hoppy Wheat—is just the beer for the job. The latest release from one of Kansas City’s most popular craft breweries, this hybrid sipper fuses two refreshing beer styles—a wheaty hefeweizen and a hoppy IPA—for a thirst-quenching beer loaded with floral hop aromas and sun-toasted wheat flavors. Boulevard.com for distribution info.
