Founders Next Backstage Release : Doom 2012

I wouldn't be surprised if they busted out an unannounced keg of this during the KBS release to get the hype train rolling, though.

 

I think I had this at Founders Fest last June, it was just called barrel aged Double Trouble if I remember correctly, it was a specialty draft sometime in the middle of the afternoon. Wasn't bad but wasn't anything crazy. Maybe someone can confirm that this was in fact on tap at Founders Fest last June lol?

 

i see this as an opportunity for me to enjoy IPAs again

 

I think you are thinking of the Red's Rye with Bourbon Chips. Here was the taplist from the festival of the hour+ lines:

Specialties:
Looking Glass
Blushing Monk
Frangelic Mountain Brown
Devil Dancer
KBS
Curmudgeon

On Cask:
Red's Rye with Bourbon Chips
Centennial with ginger

 

This is by far my favorite Founders beer. I am looking forward to this

 

Ahhh... it was Looking Glass I was thinking of, which according to BA is a brandy barrel double trouble

Yo OP! It's 2013 dawg. No excuses after a month!

Side note: Totally excited for this brew.

 

Ok founders lets step it up a bit cbh decent but doesnt compare to heavy hitting old ales and barley wines. frangelic was weak and I forgot what even came after that. They are dropping faster than pubescent testicles

 

Boltcutter.
Whales bro.

 

More like Ambergris

 

Oh yeh thats how great bolt cutter was i forgot about it. My connect offered me a few and I politely turned it down. # beer snob problems

 

Can't say that I'm terribly pumped for this style. I'll gladly try it if I come across it but to me a barrel aged IPA doesn't sound as appealing as say barrel aged founders imperial russian stout.

 

Have you even had Hand of Doom?

 

No El Diablo del Noche? Denied.

 

I'll look for it behind the Boltcutter's that are still on shelves..............................................

 

I am probably not going to search for another Backstage release until Black Biscuit or (wishful thinking) Cashew Mountain Brown gets released in bottles.

I would be more than happy to spend $40 on a bottle of Cashew Mountain Brown. Easily one of the five best non-sour beers I have ever had.

 

Black Biscuit!! I have been wanting that in a bottle ever since I had it at summerfest a couple of years ago

 

Not going to go chasing this one down, but if I stumble on to it with little effort I'll give er a swig.

 

So, Founders kicked BPT to the curb after the KBS debacle, and is now going with Eventbrite. They also pushed the ticket sales back a week. Be sure to bookmark the following page:

I'll probably give it a try once it hits shelves, but I will not be chasing trucks as others have said.
