Michigan Winterfest!

I have not like a single BA beer by Greenbush. I want to like them and I keep trying at festivals.

 

I've liked but not loved most of the ones I've had. I actually liked BA Doomslayer more than Short's BA Woodmaster at FBF (but the BA Maple Brown from Rochester Mills more than both of them).

 

A lot more lists posted today - Odd Sides and Right Brain off the top of my head for sure..

 

Odd Side:

Peanut Butter Cup Stout
Don’t Harsh My Mellow – Rocky Road Stout
Hells Yes! – Munich Helles Lager
Granny’s Apple Pie – Cider Beer
Bourbon Mayan Mocha Stout
Citra Pale Ale
Hop Gobbler – Extra Pale
Grounds Keeper Willie – Scottish Ale
Fire Fly – Pale Ale w/ Papaya & Habaneros
Morning Wood Stout – Bourbon Barrel aged Stout
Wrath of The Grapes – Belgian Strong w/ white grapes
Bean Flicker – Coffee Blonde Ale
Funk in The Trunk
Java Chip Mint Stout
Chocolade Koffie Stout
Wheatermelon
Instigator IPA

DAT BOURBON MOCHA

 

Beat me to it.

Also, I love Kuhnhenn in the Enthusiast hour. Going to be starting off my fest with lots of BB4D and BBBW.

 

Not trying to be "that" guy but i find the founders list kinda boring considering every beer they are bringing it bottled. OddSide is awesome. I really wanna try morning wood. we've been carrying OddSide for 3 years now and they have gotten better and better. We just got Mayan Mocha Nitro today. I can't wait to tap it this weekend

 

You should try harder.

 

I'm one of the biggest Founders fanboys out there, and I can say with 99% certainty that I won't be stopping by their tent this year. Maybe for KBS if I happen to be in the vicinity and it's pouring. All of the beers they're bringing are great IMO, but there's no interest there for me. Too much other stuff around.

 

Same exact thing here. But there will still be an insanely long line for them.

 

Good. Let everyone else get in line (and at GB) while the rest of us bath in KBE, BBBW, Witch's Hat BB NF variants, etc

 

Did they have plenty of KRE after Enthusiast Hour? I'm not an Enthusiast member but am hoping to try KBE (I've always gotten into other festivals early by other means, so I've never bothered to become an Enthusiast, but I don't think I have another early-in this time).

 

KRE was easy for me to get last year. I only had one, though, as my sobriety wouldn't have tolerated many more than that. I assume KBE would be as easy to get if you're in early.

 

Yes It lasted well into the afternoon.

 

Hopefully the Eisbock isn't served as cold as it was last year. It was cold enough to taste a bit medicinal and was better when I warmed it with my hands.

 

If you let a beer warm in your hands...you're doing WBF wrong.

 

I did get a bit of a medicine flavore from the kre as well, still liked it though. Too much work trying to warm beers up there, just drink and move to the next beer!
