Andy Snead from Whole Foods Galleria posted on the STL Hops Forums that the Boulevard Saison-Brett is now available at the Whole Foods Galleria. I had some more of this beer while at the Augusta Bottoms Festival and it was still fantastic. It provides just enough Brett flavor to really make the beer funky without having too much of it overpower the entire palate.

I think this is one of those perfect beers to get people into beers featuring brettanomyces yeast without it being a funk bomb. I really wish this had come out earlier in the summer as I think it’s a wonderfully refreshing beer. Make sure to pick up your numbered bottle as I don’t expect this one to last long. I’d be very curious to see what some age will do on this beer.

Update: Andy informs me that what he thought was Saison-Brett was actually just Saison.  But Paul from Wine and Cheese Place seems to have gotten it in, so I expect Whole Foods to have it soon as well.

If you guys don’t know Andy Snead by now, well then you obviously have never bought beer at the Galleria Whole Foods. Andy is a good dude that is always willing to stand there and talk beer with you for a few minutes. He also is one of the few people selling some aged beer in St. Louis, you just need to nicely ask him what he has in the back!

Well, Andy and the Whole Foods Crew are trying to raise money for the National Multiple Sclerosis Society by participating in the Express Scripts Gateway Getaway Ride in Columbia Missouri on September 6th and 7th. This is a great cause and Andy is a great guy, so let’s see if we can get him to his goal of $500! Donations can be made HERE.
