    Hi Everyone, hope you enjoy start of summer.

    Alright pick one or the other I'll tally at end.

    To me, hands down Founders wins. Love their beers especially in comparison to Bells. But curious what you all think. Cheers!

    I think I'd go Bell's. Tough call though.

    Year rounds goes to Founders for sure. Founder's year rounds are fantastic.
    Stout goes to Founders with KBS, and BS
    IPA goes to Bells with Hopslam and Two Hearted.

    The true winner's are us, because I love them both.

    Bell's easily. A more diverse portfolio and they just do a wider variety of styles better. They easily have better IPAs and wheat beers, and they arguably have better stouts (at least a wider variety). They make a kick ass lager, oktoberfest, and berliner weiss (Oarsman).

    The only Founders has over Bells is their Old Ale with Curmudgeon and I think Third Coast is pretty close.

    Founders beers are good, especially when compared to the goodness of Bells beers. But Bells beers are good too, often when compared to other beers, or not, sometimes Founder.

    Damnit, what was the question?

    I give a slight edge to bells, and that's only because I just bought the mini oberon keg.

    That thing is badass!

    It's so one-sided that I don't even have to name the brewery.

    If it's strictly six pack offerings, Bells. Four pack offerings, Founders.

    Great question! Love them both, both are strong in their own ways, but will give the nod to Bells, again becauseTwo Hearted on draft is really hard to beat.

    Haven't tried anything from Bells yet, and really want to. But, they would have to be kick-ass for me to enjoy them better than Founders (my personal favorite brewery).
