    I'm not sure if this thread has been done before, but I didn't feel like scrolling back years through the forums. What are your current top five favorite Founders beers?

    Mine are:

    1.) Founders Imperial Stout
    2.) Backwoods Bastard
    3.) Breakfast Stout
    4.) PC Pils
    5.) All Day IPA

    ....Aaaaand GOOOOOO!!!

    No particular order:

    Backwoods Bastard
    Curmudgeon
    KBS
    Porter
    Dirty Bastard

    Could easily switch out maybe Dirty Bastard for Breakfast or Imperial Stout. Still many of their brews I need to try. I'd like to pick up PC pils now that the weather is warming up.

    Cheers

    Wanted to fit Rübæus in there too, and fully expect CBS will be #1 when I can land some.

    I haven't tried them all, and in fact I'm missing a bunch of them that are readily available here. I need to step up my game. That said, of the ones I've had, my favorites are:

    FBS
    Mosaic Promise
    Sumatra Mountain Brown
    Backwoods Bastard
    Lizard of Koz

    Mango Magnifico did not make the cut.

    I only buy KBS and Harvest Ale, but FBS is a very good beer as well.

    I haven't had CBS and I've fallen out of love with Backwoods. Pass on the hoppy offerings.

    Sumatra brown-has the coffee FBS used to have. Love this beer.
    Porter-richest standard porter without adjuncts I've had. Just a classic.
    Breakfast stout-used to be #1. Weak coffee flavor even when fresh lately.
    Backwoods bastard-I should really have this above FBS at this point.
    KBS-loved the 17 vintage. Oddly enough, I've thought other years were hype machines and mediocre. Never got much chocolate or coffee until this year.

    Disclaimer: I've burnt myself out on barrel aged beers this week. Were that not the case, this list would probably be reversed. I'm craving a coffee beer right now

    1. FBS- perfect beer
    2-5 None. I can find comparable beers for all their other styles that I prefer more.
