    Found the sweet spot is more like 70% FBS and 30% Rubeaus...or, go for the KuBeauS and sub in KBS for the FBS...not a blending fan but this one rocks!

    I'm still really disappointed Founders won't distribute Kleenex for your tears...

    If they did, I know they'd charge too much for them.

    I'm sure this is for some random tap takeover in new york or something, but on 9/7 they got keg labels approved for CBS, Blushing Monk, BH, FMB and Sweet Repute. MBG Fall Fest? Prob not......

    @mjshearer1 can also confirm this, as he inquired with an insider at Founders. They had a few keg collars that weren't approved. Just tying up some loose ends. Of course, it could just be a cover up.

    Yeah, as far as I was told, it's just a few house keeping items that they needed to get at. Of course, when I saw him at a later point and I told him I only half believed him, he had a shit-eating grin on which made me suspect that, while true, he wasn't telling me the complete story. I try not to bug him too much about it since I don't want to be THAT guy, but it's been gnawing at me.

    Regardless, I think that if they busted these out for any MBG fest, it'd be Winter since that's the biggest one.

    Woah, Sleeper Cell! Wish I could make it out there just for that, I love that beer. If anyone from the east side is heading out there I'd love to work something out for a growler....

    I haven't had Sleeper Cell. However, Double Trouble for me = no more griping about Founders taplist.

    I love Double Trouble, but I think Sleeper Cell is even better. I was blown away when I had it last year.

    Cool, I'll have to seek it out more actively.

    Ugh! Figures- I just had two growlers from my husband stopping by earlier this week and pickings were SLIM.

    I stopped in mid-afternoon on Saturday to grab a growler of Sleeper Cell and they were out. Oddly the tap list updated at 1pm and again at 8pm both had it listed, but the staffer I spoke to said they should have it again next weekend. One of my favorites from Founders.

    It was temporary, that's for sure. They've got it updated now.

    I'm also a little disappointed there aren't more taproot only brews when I visit. Maybe I'm crazy, but I swear there were way more unique brews when I first started going years ago.
