Boulevard Brewmaster Steven Pauwels has made significant impacts on the American craft beer landscape over the past 19 years with classic beers like Tank 7 farmhouse ale and others. In this conversation with Jamie Bogner, he discusses the recipe design of that classic beer, how the flavor of the signature Amarillo hops have shifted over the years, the impact of yeast on Belgian beer styles, their use of step mashing to dial in body and dryness in their beers, experiments brewing dry and effervescent Brut IPAs, the general high quality of craft beer today, and the challenge balancing innovation and efficiency in a large-scale production brewery.
