Founders next Backstage due in July

Whatever it is.....everyone will hate it and buy it all at the same time.

 

Blueberry version of Blushing Monk please!

 

That's the reason for the late summer/early fall Zhukov release, but all we can do now is speculate.

 

Oh my... Blueberry Blushing Monk. Drool yes please!

 

According to Founder's website regarding the Bolt Cutter release

I assume this is the exception to the rule

 

I've seen your drawings...You shouldn't be educating people on what a "pattern" is.

 

Angels Share(?) wheatwine in brandy barrels would be nice as would the dark Nemesis. (2010?)

 

Bacon maple breakfast stout.

 

RABBLE RABBLE RABBLE!!!

 

its going to be a tripple ipa. first of its kind.

 

Pretty sure they have this pattern to reflect the seasons of beer. They save the IPAs and Fruit Beers for the Spring/Summer. In the winter they release their more malt forward beers and stouts. The only beer they release that really doesn't follow these seasonal trends is KBS which comes out in the Spring.

 

My bet is anything that isn't fruit based. With them switching up cerise for Rubaeus they are already committing to a full time raspberry beer plus they wont want to roll rubaeus and blushing monk out at the same time (seems like kinda shooting yourself in the foot profit wise).

 

But they had Cerise in 2011 with Blushing Monk at around the same time. I doubt they have another barrel aged beer this time around is all I'm saying

 

I think they're due for a bottled beer with vanilla beans.

 

Wasn't trying to speculate, merely pointing out that, if the information that those in Massachusetts received was correct, that it was an interesting pattern (yes, pattern, as fruit beer, maple beer, fruit beer, maple beer would be considered a pattern). That's all. You could absolutely make speculations given that information, but I think that's part of the fun, as long as speculation isn't taken as fact.

And also Frangelic Mountain Brown that was released in July. But yes, you're correct that generally there is a certain flow of beer styles as seasons progress, I was just merely making an observation.

 

Rubaeus isn't a full-time beer. It's simply replacing Cerise during its usual two month release (July-Aug) because the cherry crops were so crushed last year. Plus...Doom was just release and Double Trouble is about to come out as well.

 

Well seeing how Doom came out I doubt Looking Glass is on the table right now so my hope is for Rye whiskey aged Reds Rye

 

Wasn't Newaygo County Cherry supposed to be bottled? I seem to remember a list of beers founders said would be bottled some time back. I wonder how that plays in to the cherry crop failure.

 

I second that notion! But it's going to be Spite, or Main Guy Mango... I'm pretty sure. It would have been Newaygo County Cherry had the cherry crop not been so decimated last year.

 

I hope it is something entirely new.
