Foundation

Does anybody have any reconnaissance on Dark Side Corruption? There are 18 reviews for it, but it's not listed on Foundation's website so I'm wondering if it was just a really small bottling run? Thanks!

Send them an email, not sure if they are brewing it again.

 

Can art. In the words of one of the owners, the release "is still a ways off".

 

I'll be in Portland during the Epiphany & Wanderlust release.

Are the cans usually available on Thursday during the week of release? Do you think Epiphany will sell out the same day?

 

Probably. They sold out within hours of their last release but that was the Thursday prior to the Memorial Day holiday.

 

Thanks!! Sounds like I should I should plan to show up at opening.

 

Stopped by yesterday and picked up some Zuurzing. Fantastic!

 

Believe that's bottle art per description:

"Bottled in January 2016"
​

Suppose format could change though?

 

Good call, just saw the 500ml and assumed as that's what size their cans are, and so used to seeing their beer in cans my brain went right there.

 

The website says that cans of Epiphany and Wunderlust are being released from Thursday-Saturday (6/30-7/2). I'll be arriving in the Portland area on Friday 7/1 but I don't plan on getting to Foundation until Saturday. Is there any chance that cans will still be available by Saturday? If not, what about Friday if I can get there?

 

Doubtful on Epiphany but Wanderlust you'll probably be ok on. Every time I have been to BB for a Saturday release - Epiphany cans are always gone. Wish you luck though! It's a great beer - just wish they would lower the limits so more people could get cans instead of doing case limits.

 

or they could just increase their capacity :-)

But fully agree, right now, there's little to no chance Epiphany sees Saturday (in cans) ... probably will have draft.

 

What about Friday? Any chance cans last until Friday afternoon?

 

Anyone know if any cans are available today?

 

Their facebook page stated they still have Epiphany, but expect to sell out very early.

 

I'm in line now. They said they had a decent amount left. Wanderlust is gone.

 

Any predictions on what the line will look like tomorrow? I've only ever been to Foundation when they've had Epiphany cans, so I'm wondering if the absence of Epiphany cans generally results in a shorter line. Would appreciate any recent insight. Thanks!

 

I went last Friday (also no Epiphany cans), so this isn't an exact correlation to a Saturday (but it was after a big BBB release so maybe kinda?)... Anyways, there were not more than six people in line when I was there, another dozen or so enjoying themselves outside. About the same goes for Austin St around back. One of the two, if not both, usually has a food truck.

It's a little weird to be on Industrial Way without BBB, but it's a lot more laid back now.

 

"We are releasing our first fruited sour this weekend. This beer is a sour farmhouse ale aged with Apricots, and is called Pomology: Apricot. These are 500mL bottles, will be available at the brewery starting this Thursday, and will be $15/ea including tax & deposit."

 

Just bumping this old thread to say my stop at Foundation on Friday was as pleasant as can be. Inviting tap room, easy to get flight, and walked out with 4 4pcks. Epiphany is a top 3 IPA I've had this year. Blown away. Great brewery.
