    I don't hate Founder's--quite the opposite--I'm just confused as to what they are doing.
    I've made many trips over the years to their taproom,and I live 2 hrs away, just based on the taplist.

    Mosaic is waaay better on draft than in bottles IMO. I feel like they threw all day into the bottles and just put a different label on it.

    I am saving my hate for the next Backstage Pass release. A beechwood aged pilsner.

    Agree with this 100%. However, I had this on tap right at Founders last October and now I'm drinking a month old bottle. There's definitely a huge difference between drinking a month old bottle and having a fresh draft straight from the source.

    Just had a Mosaic bottle last night and it blew my hair back, I never thought it would be that good. Absolutely love it.

    I've been doing that for awhile and love it. I actually like FIS and Rubaeus myself as slightly better blending flavors.

    Agreed, I love but it bears NO resemblance IMO to All Day or Yosemite Scooter, more like a light version of Freedom of '78.
