    I just had a FBS a few hours ago and I honestly thought it was better than I remember it being last year. I'm prepared for the lynching.

    The new batch always seems better for me.
    It is a combination of anticipation and the fact that the last bottle I had of the previous year was faded.

    I can't wait for FBS to hit NJ

    Dear lord, a FMB artificial flavoring thread again? Who set the time machine for Fall 2012?

    Easy killer, I've never heard anything like this before. The whole point of the post is to see if anyone's ever heard of this. No ones trying to bash Founders here.

    Sorry --a lot of neg vibes for Founders on these threads. They seem to be one of the "good guys."

    So in regards to the OP's question, anyone with reliable info on a change?

    I bet Dogfish Head is glad that Founders is the new Dogfish Head of BA.

    I blame hipsters.

    Hop_King is usually a good source for information on Founders from what I've seen

    Ever since Founders hasn't released CBS for every backstage release they have been getting so much hate. Now people are just making up shit. It's like fucking high school rumor shit. My cousins, sisters, step sons, fathers buddy from some shit hole store said that Founders is using artificial ingredients which makes me think it doesn't taste as good as last year and they use child labor to run their bottling line and their mothers smell of elderberries.....

    The biggest problem seems to be that it is harder and harder to obtain any of their seasonal releases each and every year. And I am not just talking about KBS. When beers like Breakfast Stout, Harvest Ale and Backwoods Bastard started becoming gigantic chores to find, unless you are constantly scouting for them, people's expectations go up on what they are getting IMO and very few things can live up to what hype does these days.

    2013 release was at the end of March. I'm assuming it will be the same in '14.

    edit: ooops, meant kbs.

    I know they inject artificial flavoring into KBS. Barrel aged in a cave for a year? Ha.

    If they were using any artificial flavoring wouldn't they have to label it?? Or did Monsanto buy off some more congressmen...

    He wouldn't know that though, because the thread I had here with that picture got nuked when half of the people couldn't pick up on my sarcasm that FBS was infected and promptly shit their pants.

    I love this place....

    It's also because Founders is continually farting in our general direction.
