Yeah I mean I get that but to not have one cool offering basically 365 days a year is weird. Bells does, Oddside had a ton of differnt stuff on, basically every brewery I've been to always has something unique u can't just find anywhere which is what I like in a brewery. Not looking for cbs or anything like that just something different. But yes they were pouring rubaeus as fast is they could
Every time I have gone they had beers that weren't bottled on tap. Usually multiples. I have seen beers that were test batches that later ended up in backstage series. Backstage Series beers that were sold out most everywhere on tap. Also to visit a prolific brewery that is very nicely done and has yummy food isn't a bad thing either. I'm sure if I lived there I'd still go a lot. Not all the time, but for what they offer I have a nice time.
Id go to Perrin 100/100 times or Vivant ...can't agree with you. I've been to founders 5x and each time the list is garbage. Which whatever now I know to skip it.
I must be lucky when coming from TX. It's also nice that I can get fresh versions of their beer when I visit.
Go to Perrin first. The Vivant for the burger add bacon n cheese . You will thank me
Never heard of them. I need to check it out. Some of their growler fills are silly expensive!Go to Perrin first. The Vivant for the burger add bacon n cheese . You will thank me
I mean kinda yes but consider it like getting a growler of bcbs. Their malted milk ball is unreal , lil griz and blCk goat too.
not exactly on bcbs level but honestly not far off! U won't be disappointed.
My distro told me a couple weeks ago he will have a keg or two for me...But was told to keep it shhh.
Nice. I also heard it from a few people but filed it under the "I'll believe it when I see it" folder.
Wish I would have done the same. Might be SOL because of stupid old work.
yes this much...! plus i hear shitty rumble i wont get to see MarcatGSB at 17
Might have to plan a retreat to the Fitz when this is tapped.
Thank you John.WE’RE BRINGING BLUSHING MONK BACK IN MARCH 2015
Posted on December 11, 2014 by Sarah
We plan to re-release Blushing Monk, a decadent Belgian raspberry ale, in March 2015 to mark the twelfth installment in our popular Backstage Series. Blushing Monk was the original Founders Backstage Series beer, released in July 2011; prior to that, it hadn’t been bottled for four years. Like all of Founders’ Backstage Series beers, Blushing Monk will be sold in 750mL bottles, with a suggested retail price of $16.99 per bottle.
Blushing Monk is brewed with a ridiculous amount of raspberries and with a Belgian yeast strain that keeps our head cellar operator from sleeping for a week. It pours a stunning deep berry red and, at 9.2% ABV, has a surprising kick. The perfect dessert beer, it can be enjoyed on its own or paired with fresh cheeses, fruit, cakes and more.
“People keep asking us if we’re going to bring any of our Backstage Series beers back—and now we have,” said Co-Founder and President Dave Engbers. “It seems as though we brew Blushing Monk on a four-year cycle. Our cellar crew hates brewing it because it’s brewed with a different yeast strain from all of our other beers, but we think it’s worth the sleepless nights. It’s an absolutely gorgeous beer.”
Founders’ Backstage Series is made up of boundary-pushing, experimental beers. The intent of the series is to take the diehard Founders fan experience to a wider audience—though all of the beers are released in limited batches. Since its introduction in the summer of 2011, Founders’ Backstage Series beers have quickly become some of the most sought-after releases in the industry.
Blushing Monk will be released in limited quantities across our distribution footprint beginning on Monday, March 2, and will be available at the brewery’s taproom the week prior. This will be the first Backstage Series release from Founders in 2015; beer enthusiasts should expect two more releases from Founders later in the year.
I dunno, I can just drink NG Raz Tart whenever I want. Still don't understand the retroactive hype on this one.WE’RE BRINGING BLUSHING MONK BACK IN MARCH 2015

You may be able to, but, everyone in Founders distro footprint will be able to purchase and enjoy this.
I suppose there's that but I just never got the hype over a fruit beer.
Was way better than NG to me. Totally different taste. More decadent and jammy.
I don't really remember it that well but it'll be nice to try it again.
