    Didn't see this posted yet, announced on FB. Awesome they are doing this- looks like a trip to GR is needed next week.

    I live ten minutes away and work nights. I hope to get some bottles!

    I see that living in the harsh cold of western Michigan has some advantages. That looks amazing. Too bad I live in VA

    Founders tap lost has been crazy good lately. Had Cheef ipa, nitro frangelic stout, and backwoods bastard just the other day. Can't wait to drink more CBS!

    Should be fun. I can only make it out there for the weekend.

    Anyone who goes, can you post how they tapped these bad boys? On a schedule, all day, at a certain time, etc.

    Thanks!

    For what it's worth, they updated the poster and removed the fine print...[​IMG]

    From their Facebook post "any bottles being released will be done so in an unannounced manner, as surprise releases. No information regarding any of these releases will be available in advance.

    I'm really excited to check this out. When asking about potential CBS at the taproom in January a couple of weeks ago I was given the standard "we don't even know response" by a bartender and was also given a slight outline to this event by another. It looks to be even better than I expected it to be. I'm also excited to check the store several times in hopes to find some of those vintage bottles.

    I love the way they are doing this. If all goes as planned I will be there one day next week.

    I will be going once or twice after work and probably stopping almost every day at lunch to see what bottles they have. Let's hope they bottled a few kegs worth of CBS! On tap and a couple bottles would be awesome! Not holding my breath but you never know...

    I'm thinking a late stop by (after 8pm) on Friday night after work, stay at a hotel, stay all day Saturday. Founders, I love and hate you.

    They should have just left it as a complete surprise, now even with the possibility of bottles, it will be even more of a mad house.

    I would love to go to this as I live only 15 minutes away, but this is guaranteed to be a madhouse... Oi.
