    Does anyone have, or remember the tap a list from last year? All I remember for sure is KBS of course, and being super impressed with BA Sumatra Brown. I can't recall if there were special tappings throughout the day.

    Yesterday they had "Diamond" Mountain Brown *Bling Bling*, as part of their Class 1 beers :wink:

    I don't recall there being any special beers put on later in the day. Seemed like the list didn't change. Then again, I was burying my face in mass quantities of BA Sumatra all day so I'm probably wrong.

    Yeah that was on tap last week. The whole taplist right now is the same stuff they've had since last week.

    Would love to see BS Sumatra on tap again.

    Anyone else crack a bottle yet? Had one last night and it started as amazing as I remember and it ended a pinch boozier then I remember. Either way, I'm not some yahoo that comes on here says Hopslam is more oniony this year but there was a heat that's either new or I forgot; probably forgot because my brain is clogged with malted hops and bong resin.

    I had two bottles on Wednesday and found it to be less boozy than last year which was pretty hot fresh. I was surprised how well the bourbon was hidden among the other flavors, you can definitely taste it on the back end, but I expected more heat up front like last year.

    No line for beer pickup, I was in and out in 2 minutes. Didn't appear to be a line for the bar, it's definitely crowded though

    Didn't crack a bottle yet, but I had it on tap last year and again this year and I think this year is better. More chocolate, not overly coffee loaded, more balanced bourbon flavor. I was impressed.

    No line whatsoever for bottle pickup yesterday (~2 pm). Having the bottle pickup area separate from everything else was a great idea. Bar and taproom were crowded but not overly so. Certainly manageable. Food line seemed a bit long at times. There was reduced bar service in the outside tent but no line here at all so this was the place to get KBS on draft. Employees were all friendly and helpful in my experience. Beautiful weather to boot. I know others might have differing opinions but I thought it was well run and they did a great job on Saturday. Kudos to Founders.

    First time at Founders. I thought everything was great. Got bottle within 5 minutes of getting there. Bottles in car about 5 minutes afterwards! Taproom never felt overly crowded. Draft line kept moving. Food took between 30-40 minutes but to be expected when taproom is at capacity. Really enjoyed everything. KBS on draft was great. $6 for 8oz pour, not going to get prices like that in Chicago!

    I was there from 11am-2pm.. did the tap list stay the same all day or did they add anything else in the later afternoon/evening.. I had a great time. just curious if anything was added after I left

    Got my bottles Friday evening in about 90 seconds. Floored by how efficient everything was from Founders. The event Saturday morning was great, as KBS was cheap ($6) and there was plenty of room until about 2 PM or so. The food line created a pretty big wait, but going to Hopcat solved that problem.

    A single like was insufficiently expressing how logical and honest this post was. Cheers!
