Founders CBS 2017 Release

That was simple

 

Still tickets available for both weekends

 

I thought that website was horrible compared to Event Brite, kept crashing, etc. That said, I was still able to grab a ticket for the first weekend as I wanted.

 

Will be making the 2.5hr trip the first weekend. Can’t wait.

 

Was not aware of 4 Elf until now... thx, Mr White.

 

It’s pretty refreshing how available these tickets were to get. Granted, it’s still selling out within an hour probably, but not within a minute like many of us figured.

 

Looks like it took 40 minutes to sellout. Shouldn’t be much complaining among michigan (or FIB) BA’s about not getting a bottle.

 

I would feel pretty dumb if I drove 4 hours to Grand Rapids when I could have walked into my local Jewel store for a bottle...hard to tell what the Chicago availability will be like though.

 

Excited to make the trip

 

Nah! It's just a good excuse to head to Founders, visit the tap room and grab Michigan beers along the way. Avoiding the headache of what it will be like in Chicagoland is just a plus. If it's readily available here, that's even better. Will just be able to pick up more of this good brew.

 

That was great. The only thing I thought of when I bought the tickets was please God, don't snow

 

Asking for a friend. So if he still has a bottle of the 2011 CBS release, and got a tic for this release, can two bottles be called a vertical?

 

Well there was another release inbetween 11 and now and without the employee only bottle idk if i would call it a vert

 

Yeah app wasn’t showing any tix for me but was able to go through my phone’s browser at 10:02. Very excited for this

 

I wouldn't think so. I wouldn't call having a BC Rare 10 and a BC Rare 15 a vertical either. They are just two separate batches. I guess one was bottled after the other (in BC Rare case so I guess you could make an argument for that one either way) but in CBS's case there was also another batch in 2014-2015 that was never bottled.

 

What exactly is preventing ass holes from buying numerous tickets? They must scan driver's licenses like New Glarus?

 

It says duplicate names will be voided near the bottom...no refunds too, but I doubt they would enforce that. Sounds like fraud...

 

Yeah, I don't want to make the 3 hour trek in the snow either

 

Sadly he may want to drink the fresh bottle and use the '11 to brush his teeth with. All of Founder's Maple beers end up tasting like mint to me after extended aging. I plan on drinking all my CBS within the first year/year and a half. Mine we're all kept in a 50° temp controlled beer fridge fwiw
