Founders 2020 Release Calendar

I loved Mas Agave and will be getting it again this year. There's a Grapefruit version this year that I will be trying also:

ABV: 9.7%
IBUs: 15
Availability: May-Jul

The cocktail inspiration lives on. Our imperial gose is brewed with agave and sea salt before being aged in tequila barrels. But it doesn’t end there. Once it’s pulled from the barrels, it gets a dose of fresh grapefruit juice to ramp up the tanginess and to pay homage to our other favorite tequila-based cocktail, the Paloma. Sweet, salty, and mouth-puckeringly delicious. ¡Más Agave… Grapefruit!

SN did something similar last year that I really wanted to try but I never came across it in my area:

Never saw that one either. I really enjoyed the original Otra vez And drank a case over that summer. The new flavor was not good for me. I saw cigar city has a margarita style Gose out.

Enjoy

 

Hopefully one of those “TBD”s turns into French Toast Bastard in 12-oz 4-packs!

I could use a replacement breakfast beer since Weyerbacher quit making Sunday Morning (I think?)

 

Workhorse Brewing has one out now too:

Margarita (Key Lime Gose) -

This kettle-soured Gose is loaded with complex flavors and aromas. Citrus notes from the addition of key limes during fermentation blend effortlessly with the subtle tartness of the Gose. A hefty dose of sea salt in the wort kettle adds a layer of brininess to round out this margarita-inspired beer.

I saw that, They are doing curbside and delivery. I had the vanilla coffee porter last year and it was pretty good. Not sure about their other stuff, reviews are just ok.

Have you had any of their beer? I could drive out there and grab a crowler or two.

Enjoy

 

I've had a few of their Lagers and all so far were solid and worth drinking.

 

I did pick up one of the grapefruit variants at the same time. Hopefully I will like that one better.

 

The head brewer at Workhorse is Nate Olewine (formerly of Victory and more recently Devils Backbone). IMO he is really skilled at making German style lagers. I thought the Oktoberfest he made in 2018 was outstanding and while the Vienna Lager style is not my favorite lager style I think that Nate’s Vienna Lager is ‘spot on’. He also produces quality beers of other styles. For example I think the Workhorse ‘NEIPA’ is very good.

There is always a BIG stack of Workhorse beers at my local Wegmans (KoP). They are in the four-pack/16 ounce can format (10 bucks for the Vienna Lager as one example of pricing)

Cheers!

 

SMS is coming back this fall.

 

Yeah let us know what you think.

 

Anyone have Green Zebra? Sounds pretty good.

 

That one has been around for 3 years now and has a Very Good rating here on BA. https://www.beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/1199/278457/ I had it once on tap and really enjoyed it.

 

It's excellent, one of my favorite summer beers.

 

Can you confirm this with fact? I so hope you are correct.

Enjoy

 

I hope so too. This is what got me into BBA stouts. And I still believe it’s (or it was) the best.

 

One of the distributors by me gets Workhorse cans and according to Untappd they have a couple of their lagers. Will have to pick some up if they are fresh. Thanks for the recommendation.

 

that beer is SO good

 

I am drinking the Grapefruit version now:

What beer are you drinking now? #2750

In one word excellent and I prefer this to the regular by far.

 

Just got a 4 pack tonight...will find out soon enough. I very much enjoyed the original.

 

Local spot just got it in. Will take your recommendation and snag a 15 pack.
