    Grabbed 2-4 packs of CBS today at TW on Loop 410 by the airport. One of my favorites, one of only three beers I think I've given a 5 score. I'm pumped!

    I bought a 4-pack from the same Total Wine and didn't notice that the bottled date on the pack was October 2019. Was yours bottled in 2019 or 2020?

    I'm currently drinking the last bottle of the 2019 CBS that I bought around this time last year. I usually drink the pack in 3-4 month intervals over the course of the year and haven't been disappointed yet.

    I didn’t look to be honest, and now they’re all gone, and I hate everything.

    I do know whenever they were bottled they were solid with no flavor drop off.

    pretty sure no cbs has or will be bottled in 2020
    2019 was last batch (until they decide to brew it again)

    I picked up one bottled in 2019 several weeks ago and thought it was much better than one I drank upon release. Aging made it even better. Of course, when I went back to the Specs to buy the remaining singles they were gone.

    Seconded. It's my understanding, as well, that CBS won't be brewed in 2020 (not listed in their 2020 line up https://foundersbrewing.com/beer/barrel-aged-series/). Nor are there plans to brew it in the immediate future (at least that have been publicly disclosed).

    Interesting how it has seemingly hit all across the state. @ $40 a 4pk, still not reaching for it.

    Passed on CBS at HEB and grabbed two 4 packs of Mackinac Fudge KBS at $22 a pack.

    I hope it's gold-plated. That's wild. I was at Total Wine today and they still have CBS - $23.49 / 4 pack according to their app.

    Just saw cases of it at TW in Plano. I too was a bit confused as to the bottle date. Seemed a bit strange to still see that much 2019 sitting around.

    I saw a few of these pop up again at the HEB near me. Also, a couple 4 packs of Curmudgeon's Better Half....which was a 2018 release, right? interesting stuff.

    I remember seeing a St. As DR release like 2 years after the release here is SA. Up is down.

    Wow, didn't check the dates on Better Half, but I thought it was a current one, and was going to grab it next time I was there. I really liked that beer

    Did they make a new one? Anyway, I drank my last one within the last few months. Still a great beer.
