Bottle Conditioning
At Boulevard, we employ a time-honored technique known as bottle conditioning to help our beers taste fresher, better, longer.
We brew, ferment, and filter the beer as usual, but then add a small amount of yeast to the beer just before bottling. The packaged beer is transferred to our temperature-controlled warehouse, where it is held for two weeks to allow a secondary fermentation to take place in the bottle. This secondary fermentation consumes much of the residual oxygen, greatly enhancing the stability and longevity of the beer, and producing a remarkable and otherwise unattainable depth of flavor.
