    Maybe that's what makes BB a more appealing Wale? Also, There's plenty of Wales out there that aren't in the top 10.

    You're reasoning means nothing to me. I want Black Biscuit and do not care to hear any reasoning why it should be released instead of BB.

    What? I don't care which should be released, I was just saying that CBS would be more of a clusterfuck/shelf-whale.

    They age in a gypsum mine under Grand Rapids. The complex is miles and miles long, so they're in pretty good shape when it comes to aging space.

    They rent space in the mine, so it is not like they have the whole mine to themselves. There is still space limitations as well as possible financial and logistic concerns.

    If they are releasing it, it was probably put in barrels about the time they sold it last year. There is no maybe about it, if they are releasing it, it's been in the works for a while. That said, it'll drop the whale status a bit if they release it again. Especially if it hits the kind of numbers that Better Half and FMB were made in.

    I cross my fingers as this is one of the few Founders Beers I've yet to try. KBS is so good, I feel like this beer could be every bit as good as hype says. :slight_smile:

    Would take Black Biscuit over CBS in a heartbeat (and I love CBS). BB might be in my top 5 of all time.

    The first batch of bottles were very, very good and I certainly love some CBS but I am a fool for variety and like kzoo said, Black Biscuit is a possibility. I would actually like to see something like Newaygo County Cherry before another CBS run. Maybe even Sappy Slappy Bastard. So many good Founders one-offs to go around, no need for more CBS bottles just yet. (but I suppose I would still leave work and try to get some before it sells out in 25 minutes, ugh).

    I wish they'd brew SZRP of Doom again

    God I hope this is true. I may actually have a chance of trying it instead of just dreaming about it.

    Why release that and steal any thunder from Bolt Cutter and the next Backstage release. Doesn't make sense.

    Id love to have a bottle of it to myself again....and id actually love to grab more than one bottle.

    And no, not as trade bait. Because 99 percent of the beer i buy is bought with the intent to be consumed. Always open for a trade though.

    I'm pretty sure Founders stated that Bolt Cutter is going to be the next Backstage Series release.
