Founders 2025 Release Calendar

I remember when Whole Foods in Downtown LA opened the had a party to celebrate them getting 2 cases of KBS.

 

Interestingly here CBS has never shelf turded, but Bourbon County definitely has for a few years now.

 

I spoke too soon. CBS is showing up on the website of the 'other' favorite store here in town. Thursday is usually the delivery day for Founders beers here in town, so I'm guessing they received it today.

 

My nephew just spotted 2025 CBS 4 packs in a liquor store out in rural western Maryland (town of Lavale…near Frostburg and Cumberland) . I’m sure if they dropped out in that distribution area, they be around most everywhere. My friends and I have been pulling out cellared bottles of CBS to drink every 6-12 months since last release. That beer is always delicious. Still one of my favorite stouts of any.

 

They quit packaging Red's Rye and only sell it on tap. Apparently that rye "bite" fades quickly and people were complaining that it was missing, that Founder's had changed the recipe. So they just don't sell it packaged any more.
Fun fact; it's been their biggest selling beer on tap at the mother ship for at least 7 years in a row.

 

Grabbed a four pack of CBS at my local Wegmans here in NJ. Nice surprise on the shelf!

 

TW Norfolk got quite a bit in as well... maybe a case or 2.

 

Saw a new one from them but only in 12 packs, a red ipa

 

Just DM if you need some.

 

I had CBS at the brewery last night. Fantastic!

 

I bought a bottle for a friend last year. $14.

 

Enjoying a CBS right now. Remembering on the last release, there was a kerfuffle about the language on the bottle hinting at artificial flavors wrt the maple. Did that change this time around? No change in taste that I can recognize. Still my favorite offering from them.

 

This is a BIG " HAHA " to all the posers complaining about them not bottling it

 

im assuming this is sarcasm??

Obviously we had Reds Rye in bottles distributed across the country before Founders was sold to corporate… and I can’t say I heard a single person complain about it. Certainly never crossed my mind to complain about it.

but hey any excuse for the billion dollar corporations to make an extra .09% on their yearly revenue! “People don’t want it” “we can’t afford it (even though the independently owned breweries did it for years without issue, but now Heineken can’t afford it. Tony Magee could afford limited brews and barrel aging but Heineken just doesn’t have the money… they’re struggling to get by…got it?

They can’t get the loans to do it. They have to work with the couple thousand dollars they’ve got in their account. Right?

but hey… have you seen the new Hazy IPA?!? Or how about our CBS that we decided we couldn’t afford to make how it was designed to be made… so we just add some maple syrup and call it a day. Nobody will even notice!
what should we bring back next?!? Oh cool to hear your suggestions.. we’ll never do any of that but thanks for the comments! CBS is enough hype… that should do enough we won’t have to bring back anything else. One is enough.
