Armsby Abbey Stoutfest 2014

I think the tickets will go on sale sometime this month and should be taking place in early April, that is all I know.

 

I will let everyone know after I have my tickets .

 

Is it a ticket event in totality this year? I went last year on the second day and there were no tickets.

 

I imagine that he is referring to the Founders breakfast that precedes StoutFest.

 

Just checking.

 

Tickets are for the breakfast only then everyone else gets in at 12

 

Oh yeah, sorry. I can't even think of Stout Fest without thinking of the Founders Breakfast.

 

I've heard that the Founder's Breakfast might not be happening as they have nothing to replace CBS. I did hear some options for another possible brewery...

 

Very wishful.

 

I would hate to see the Founders Breakfast go away because of a lack of CBS. The whole event isn't made by that one beer. I'd be almost as happy with a FBS, KBS, RIS lineup.

Heck, I'd try just as hard for tickets this year even if FBS was all they had on tap from Founders.

 

Crap. I really wanted the other breweries i heard it might be to happen more than Founders.

 

This is the 5th and LAST year for the founders breakfast event as we know it. We just scored the last case of CBS on earth plus we had some stashed away so the breakfast this year will be FBS, KBS & CBS. This is what's taken so long. Next year we'll do a stout "unicorn" breakfast to kick off stoutfest.

Menu and ticket info will be announced via social media and our website next week.

 

Details are up on there website

5th ANNUAL & FINAL FOUNDERS BREAKFAST
Saturday, April 5, 2014

SEATS WILL GO ON SALE VIA PHONE ONLY – 508.795.1012
SATURDAY, MARCH 22nd BEGINNING AT 9AM SHARP!

The 5th Annual, and final, Founders Breakfast with host Michael Bell of Founders Brewing Company will be held on Saturday, April 5, 2014. ALL guests must be 21+ with valid ID upon arrival. Please do not be late so that we can open the doors to all those thirsty guests anxiously awaiting entry to STOUTFEST 2014 which will kick off at Noon!

To give everyone a fair chance at purchasing seats for the breakfast, we are again placing a 2 seat limit per caller. On the plus side of things, this year with our newly expanded restaurant seating, we can accommodate 100 guests. When calling for seats, please bear in mind that it takes approximately 1-2 minutes per caller to capture all the necessary credit card information, and answer questions, to confirm your reservation. With the additional seats, we anticipate it taking at least 75-90 minutes to sell out, so keep calling and don’t give up hope! In previous years it took just under one hour to sell out 65 seats.

New kitchen, 35 additional seats, the very last bottles of Founders Canadian Breakfast Stout in distribution; this is going to be one hell of a breakfast and you can bet we will cap off 5 amazing years with Founders in style!

Cheers & Good Luck!

I'll be hitting this up on the Sunday. I did the same last year, it was awesome.

 

I plan to keep my seat from the Founders Breakfast as long as humanly possible... wife permitting.
