    You guys weren't kidding about it being extremely coffee forward

    Not that far off with the "circus"

    DLD is the real circus. This is tame in comparison.

    No CBS today. Or at least that's what my server is saying

    Our server told us the same thing last year.

    That's what they always say until you hear "Oh Canada"!

    I think this years version is outstanding, as always.

    Just left Founder's. About an hour wait to get in. 10 to 15 minutes in line to get a beer. No wait to pick up KBS. The barrel aged curmudgeon is excellent.

    Asked a server, "you probably wouldn't tell me if you're tapping CBS today, right?" He replied, "not today." I followed up with, "100% sure?" He said, "yes."

    Take that for what it's worth. '17 tastes phenomenal.

    CBS was on tap all day and fantastic. Period.

    FAKE NEWS. The failing Founders Brewing bussed in illegals to drink all the CBS today while telling their regulars there wasn't any. I'm requesting an investigation. SAD!

    Walked right in today around noon with zero wait. Got a pour of KBS and BA Curmudgeon, picked up my beer and I was out in less than an hour. KBS is very heavy on the coffee this year which isn't a bad thing IMO.

    One additional thing I'd like to mention. From the lady who served me my beer to the gentlemen who checked my ticket and license for KBS, they were extremely pleasant and courteous and it really stood out to me. That can not be an easy job during a busy release like this and their efforts did not go unnoticed.

    Long day yesterday. Flight got into Flint at 5:30, got the gf home to Clarkston by 6:20, and left for GR at 6:30. Had my KBS by 8:20, then had a KBS on tap before heading back. No line lol, and I am guessing I was one of the last couple pickups.
    I bet I saw 300-400 deer between Flint and GR.

    Spent Friday-Saturday up in Grand Rapids. Another lovely 24 hours filled with fantastic beers and ciders. Did anyone make it up to Odd Side on Friday? Rye Hipster and Hazel's Nuts were both on and all their barrel-aged stuff was available to go with no-limits. It was worth the 40 minute drive.
