Released in January 2019, Space Camper was inspired by Boulevard’s desire to offer drinkers an escape from heavy-handed bitterness. Bursting with aromas of mango, peach and pineapple, the brew clocks in at 5.9% ABV and 50 IBUs, with flavors of fresh citrus, stone fruit and watermelon from Ekuanot, El Dorado and Galaxy hop varietals. Beyond the beer, Boulevard launched Intergalactic Planetary Attack, a throwback 8-bit video game. Space Camper’s mission: Save the Earth – The Only Planet With Beer, kicks off with an Arbor Day Foundation partnership and a commitment to plant 10,000 trees in 2019.
ABOUT DARK PHOENIX
In DARK PHOENIX, the X-MEN face their most formidable and powerful foe: one of their own, Jean Grey. During a rescue mission in space, Jean is nearly killed when she is hit by a mysterious cosmic force. Once she returns home, this force not only makes her infinitely more powerful, but far more unstable. Wrestling with this entity inside her, Jean unleashes her powers in ways she can neither comprehend nor contain. With Jean spiraling out of control, and hurting the ones she loves most, she begins to unravel the very fabric that holds the X-Men together. Now, with this family falling apart, they must find a way to unite -- not only to save Jean's soul, but to save our very planet from aliens who wish to weaponize this force and rule the galaxy.
