From the Cadre announcement: The Founders Advent Calendar box returns with 24 unique beers that are sure to bring a smile to your face. This year we have four Advent Calendar exclusives making an appearance along with eight rare Barrel-Aged beers and a few more surprises. Notes - only 192 will be available, limited to 2 per person, and cost is $125 per box. Not available until Nov 18. Probably not available after Nov 18, but I can't read the future better than anyone else. Still debating if it is worth it. What do you all think?
Seems like there was some disappointing talk in the thread after this box last year with too many shelf beers. I'm not interested. Edit: But maybe I'm thinking of some other brewery's Advent box. I can't find an old thread about a Founders box.
Fwiw here are the 2022 Advent Calendar beers I believe* Barrel-Aged Peanut Butter Stout Frootwood Ultimate Oktoberfest Breakfast Stout KBS Mango Magnifico KBS Espresso Backwoods Bastard KBS Hazelnut Barrel-Aged Nemesis Mas Agave Clasica Lime CBS (2019) Blushing Claus Mas Agave Clasica Grapefruit Highball Drifter KBS Cinnamon Vanilla Cocoa Mas Agave Clasica Prickly Pear Belgian Twist Call Your Mom (Calendar Exclusive) KBS Maple Mackinac Fudge French Toast Bastard Curmudgeon’s Better Half Brandy BA Big Luscious (Calendar Exclusive) Vino de Naranja BA Dubbel (Calendar Exclusive) *I did not purchase the box. Just a quick 'n dirty online search.
That's a nice line-up. Some are easy-to-find nice beers (but not their standard beers) and some calendar exclusives. I'd consider it if I didn't have to drive to GR with the chance that they'd all be already gone. (I don't do lines anymore.)
If it's truly of interest to you, I would be happy to pick you up a box. I'm leaning away from it simply because there are lots of other beers I could get with a C note that I would probably enjoy a bit more. But they are a 20 - 25 minute drive so picking you up a box would be easy and then we'd need to meet up again to swap beer.
Thanks for this. I already have half of those in my cellar so considering the likely core lineup would be duplicates, it's a lot of scratch for 10 or 12 regular sized (12 oz) beers, 3 or 4 of which are not available elsewhere notwithstanding.
Thanks for the offer but I will pass on this one. But that doesn't mean that we can't have a meet-up again. Let's figure out a good time to drink a beer or two.
Have you heard of innocent until proven guilty? Or prejudice? Sounds like you have already passed judgement on the entire company for the accused actions of an individual.
Look, I understand you just heard about the case from 6 months ago so maybe you should go back even further and do some research and draw your own conclusions. There is overwhelming evidence that there has been a pervasive problem with discrimination. You can choose to ignore it and say innocent until proven guilty, but by your logic ****** wasn’t responsible for the crimes of the Holocaust since he was never found guilty…
