    Can you reformat that statement? Ha. You are saying the line will die down as the day wears on? I am justrying ensuring getting a table. Founders twitter suggested arriving 30 min prior to opening at least

    Thanks for the info....Interesting. Looks like I will plan on arriving a bit earlier then 1140 being it will be a Saturday. They tap CBS at noon today and it kicked in a few hours I'd assume?

    I'm contemplating going tomorrow but it would be later in the day. How quickly did CBS kick when it was put on at 7 PM tonight?

    This years CBS tastes great, one sip and you can tell it's a fresh batch. I only had 2011 once, but I've probably had 2014 upwards of 30 times (I live 2 miles from founders). Lots of fresh coffee, smooth maple sweetness and chocolate on the back end. Definitely tastes hotter, probably because it's so fresh. Always an amazing beer, and I can't wait for the bottle release in December!

    Great to know. I wonder if there's any chance they'll have some on tap for the winter beer fest...

    Everything that I had at Founders yesterday was great but CBS and BA Honeystuff really stood out.

    Most of the beers are still available today, according to the website. If you're in the area and haven't tried the barrel-aged Curmudgeon, it's definitely worth a try.
