Founders Brewery Surprise!

Wow, I know they went through 2 kegs within 20 min a piece on Black Friday

 

It didn't get crowded until around 12:30-1. Plus, I was surprised at the number of people NOT drinking CBS or any of the other 8 oz. pours.

 

I lucked out when our local bar had a Founder's night. 2014 KBS, CBS, Harvest, Backwoods Bastard and Redankulous.

 

That's one hell of a beer to drink at lunch time! Of course, I'm a bartender and I work nights, so most times I've had it were during lunch. I usually have 2 pours and a French bread pizza, then I go home and take a nap. Kbs is on right now at the taproom FYI

 

I use "beautiful" quite frequently when I have something that really impresses me. I think it's a very appropriate description.

 

I was lucky enough to have CBS twice last year (first time Slows BBQ in January 2015) and again during 2015 KBS week when I picked up my 12 bottles of KBS I think on a Thursday... it was amazing and one of my overall favorites. Glad got to try it and not hunt that whalz in bottle form from 2011.

 

I got to try it here in Oklahoma a couple times, surprisingly, and I thought it was delicious! I liked it better than this years KBS

 

See "BA, what do you want for Christmas?" forum for my answer.

 

Because then he can't do "I just stumbled upon CBS and it is great!" brag

 

They brought a cask of CBS to the Decatur Beer Festival in Georgia about six years ago. My girlfriend, not a beer fan, insisted we wait in line again and again until they ran out. One of the best I've ever had.

 

Most lambic isn't just beautiful; they are pure sex

 

I had it a hand full of times there are other BA stouts I like better but I am glad I got the chance to try it .

 

was fortunate enough to get two 16oz growler fills, drank one about 15 mins later and the other about three weeks later.

EPIC

 

In the most non-dickish way, I have to agree that this ^ would give you more answers.

 

While we are all discussing this...here is a question for ya'll....

Do you think Founder's is still barrel-aging and brewing CBS to be sold exclusively in kegs to "better" craft-beer bars?

I ask because CBS was bottled and sold in 2011. Thats a whopping 4 years ago. And yet, even here in TX it'll pop up once in a VERY BLUE moon at some of our better local establishments. But the fact that it still is popping up, makes me wonder. 2011 seems like a damn long time ago in proportion to how often I feel it still shows up at a bar.

EX: Nobi in Friendswood, TX tapped a keg of it within the last 12-months for their anniversary.

 

I've never met you, but your in-put on most threads is damn near always well received on my end.

Thanks for always being the voice of reason!

 

Had CBS on tap at 2015 Hunaphu Day, it was on when the event started and I could not believe their was literally no line for it when I walked up. Sat and chatted with the Founders staff and had my fill , and I must admit it is one of the best beers I have had to date. Absolutely stellar stuff!
