    Confirmed that there are no bottles being released today (Tuesday). Just asked in the store (in-person) & she said "not today".

    And I got the day off tomorrow :slight_smile: I'll be with the 3 year old princess on a sugar high in hopes of taking your spot if there's a line.

    It is the whole bottle release that turns all of these events into shit shows. I am very happy they are being tight lipped about it.

    I am looking forward to going for rare drafts. If I am lucky enough to be there when bottles are for sale and the line is not crazy I might pick something up, but it is nothing I am sweating

    Founders just posted that the beer that will be featured on Brew Dogs will be available at 6 in the taproom tomorrow... perhaps it's the BA Cran that'll be on the show?

    A friend and I are planning on driving up Fri morning, mostly because I already had the day off, and I haven't been to the taproom since KBS day 2 years ago. I could care less if they have any bottles for sale, but looking forward to some pub exclusive taps and maybe a growler to-go. I personally cannot think one one bottle I would purchase even if given the opportunity. What is everyone hoping they have available?

    Nice way to make assumptions about people's motives. You know, maybe some of us have careers, wives, kids that get in the way of spending our time at the brewery drinking beer on tap? Maybe we enjoy the relative safety of our home for enjoying a beer rather than drinking 10% ABV beers and driving home?

    This was the exact beer, vintage and all, that crossed my mind.

    Not trying to make assumptions, but if one does not have hours to spend drinking in a taproom, does one have hours to spend standing in line at a taproom for bottle releases?

    They will not be doing growlers of any of the "cellar raid" beers.

    As long as growler-to-go doesn't include any of the special releases you're in for a very satisfying trip!

    Any bottle release(s) at Founders will be unannounced. I didn't stand in line last year at Bells for Black Note or BBA Cherry Stout, explain how this would be any different?

    Obviously...was thinking more along the lines of Cheef.

    Is it possible for any beers on nitro? Thinking no...

    They don't allow growlers of nitro beers. But, Cheef is awesome.

    Yes, it is. Like so many of their tap only releases it would be nice if they bottled them.
