Founders cbs is still out there

I just had King Henry at a bar yesterday for $28 for the bottle in comparison to $80 on ebay.. I still see KBS for $12 a bottle at certain bars and even BCBS Coffee and BCBS Bramble Rye for less than $30 as well. A nice quality of having certain bars being overrun by college kids who don't truly understand the gold available to them.

 

haven't seen a cbs, i have a king henry i'm hanging on to. would love to have some cbs myself.

 

You're not alone my friend. I'm in that club too.

 

word to this my friend founders is great but that is there one flaw. no one ever points it out ether

 

CBS is a great beer, but the hype behind this beer has turned into a monster. I walked into Blind Tiger in NYC two years ago and was able to order at least 3 or 4 glasses of CBS without a problem. That would be completely unhead of now. I traded my bottle of CBS for a King Henry a few weeks ago. Needless to say, I'm surprised to hear that it's still out there - especially for $25.

 

Was lucky enough to try it from the bottle on Tuesday after a buddy of mine somehow got a local shop owner to sell him her last bottle of CBS. We split it between 7 people, but every last drop was awesome. I agree that the hype surrounding this beer is out of hand, but it is (at worst) one of the top 5 beers I have ever tasted.

I can only remember seeing it one time on draft, and you better bet I ordered 3 glasses. A fine drinking night.

 

I got a lot more maple in the CBS I had a few weeks ago than I did in the one I had shortly after it was released. The blending issue certainly seems like a more likely cause for this phenomenon than the age bringing it out somehow.

 

KBS from a bottle hasn't impressed me since I was a noob and it was one of the first BA stouts I had.

 

Definitely. I had some on tap and sampled 2 bottles in the same month of the release. The tap version was incredibly sweet and chocolatey. It was almost like I was drinking Southern Tier Chokolat (blech!). The bottles were much more ashy/less sweet and one had a more noticeable maple flavor. Pretty pathetic considering what you have to pay to get it (trade, ebay, or siginificant retail mark-up)

 

Glad you guys enjoyed it!

 

Myth...

 

I hear CBS is still available in the backwoods of Ontario...
