    I did a quick search & didn't really see anything posted on this (so, forgive me if it this is a dup post). Anyway, here's the details as far as I know so far.

    Black Party 2013: A Celebration of Black Beers

    I assume there's going to be some Limited Releases such as KBS/ CBS, but typically they don't pre-annoounce those (from my understanding).

    I will be there along with a few friends. Anyone else planning to attend?

    I will be there.

    Last year, it was a black IPA fest until later in the day when they busted out KBS and CBS. I'm hoping the morning this year will have a little more variety, but you can pretty much be sure that both K and CBS will be there again. They'll also have their milk stout (which is awesome), their oatmeal stout, and other more sessionable stouts like that alongside Imperial. Of course the IPAs will be there again too. I know in years past they had a barrel aged Imperial that I'd kill to have, so I'm hoping that makes an appearance too. According to the wait staff at the KBS release party, they saved some of the stuff they'd normally bust out at KBS for this, so I have high hopes for stuff I've never tried before. If not, well, I'll guess I'll just consign myself to lowly pours of CBS all night. Shucks.

    Their flyer says it all:

    I don't believe I've had the Rye Stout before, so that might be my session stout of the day.

    P.S. If they break out Black Biscuit, I'm going to lose my shit. Long, long, long time want of mine.

    thanks for adding the flyer... completely forgot to include that. And I agree, about the Rye Stout; might be my staple-stout

    Hopefully you're able to go in with realistic/low expectations...KBS and CBS are great 'worst case' scenarios I suppose :slight_smile:.

    All I wanted last year was KBS and/or CBS and after spending 4 hours there I ended up not being able to have either. Big disappointment. I might go again this year, but if I do it'll be much later than I went last year. Two years ago, they had the good stuff on right when they opened.

    list is insane this year. I know a guy who works there - trust me, it is worth a visit.

    I’m looking forward to my first black party. I really really hope that they have barrel aged Imperial stout! But I will be happy getting some KBS and some Founders draft only beers.

    By the way, it does say "KBS" on the flyer there, so that will 100% be on tap.

    Yeah, but will they tap it at 11am? 11pm? Sometime in between? They didn't tap it before 4pm last year.

    Right, and that part is unknown, but I think that once they tapped it it stuck around the rest of the night. I usually just keep an eye on the taplist online and what people are reporting here to see when something interesting catches my eye.

    I remember last year all the special taps were around 4. Doesn't mean it'll b the same this year. But, just an FYI.

    I know I'll be there, this will be my first Black Party at Founder's and looks like it will be an awesome time!

    Been to a few. Not going this year. I love it, way better than Darklord Day in my opinion. Have a blast!

    I've heard the same thing. One employee I talked to said he saw the list and there were many on there he'd not had before. Was very excited and told me "don't miss it".

    I'll be there when it opens. Hopefully KBS will be on right away, if not I will give the wife a hundred to go to Gun Lake Casino while I enjoy my beer.
