Founders next Backstage release-Big Lushious

I definitely want this brew!

 

I don't have a working dishwasher, only use warm soapy water, rinse it with warm water, and air dry. My beer glasses should be the cleanest dishes in the house.

 

My dishwasher has two jobs.. laundry included.. lol

 

Yup this is how I work. I may eat off of not-so-pristine plates because my stupid room mate puts dirty pots in the dish washer, but I'll be damned if I drink a good beer from a dirty pint glass.

 

On shelves in GR today! $14.79-$14.99 depending on location.

 

In Kzoo it is around & it's $15-$16/bottlle

 

lol wife joke.

 

So how's it tasting? 17 dollars otd in Htown today so i figured I'd wait and find some around 15..

 

ISO: that glass

 

Had it twice on tap today and I found it amazing! People on untapped are hitting it pretty hard for being too sweet, but I found it perfect and I'm not that big on sweet beers. Not quite a 5 perfect, but very close for me. I had a Raspberry Porter from Founders back in the day that I always wished would return and this is all the better in stout form.

$15 OTD from Founders and $16+ tax at a bottle shop nearby. Great price point for a 750ml in my opinion. I wasn't around for CBS, but this is probably my favorite backstage release I have actually ever purchased.

Think I'll try throwing a little bcbs in it once I get some this year!

 

People will always rate things higher if they like the brewery or lower if they hate it. i am looking forward to this beer, i don't care about the $, if i can grab 2 i will. do i think 17 is high for a fruit stout? personally, yes but the everything is going up. i can't complain because i'll spend $40 on a sour and possibly hate it. i have always said founders makes amazing dark beers, but i just think all their ipa's and pale's lacked the punch i wanted.

 

I had this yesterday and it was really good

 

Agreed on all accounts.

 

Anyone hit Founders yet for bottles and see a new glass for Big Luscious?

 

Couldn't agree more. Although, Red's Rye kills. So does Double Trouble. All Day is perfect for what it's used for.

But their standard IPA and Pale are not my cup of tea. I figured their IPA would taste closer to Mosaic Promise when I first had it. Unfortunately, it doesn't.

 

reds rye is solid, all day is ok, and double trouble lacked for me this year. just my opinion. not saying i know more then anyone, i just gave my opinion on it.

 

Having this on tap right now. It's amazing. Like dipping a fresh raspberry in Godiva dark chocolates.

Harvest ale tho.

 

Apparently you've never had Harvest Ale or super fresh All Day IPA.
