Love MM, one of my favorite backstage beers. Srs.

I'd like to see FMB again with real hazelnut and Black Biscuit to finally see a bottle.

Or, you know, bottling CBS again would be cool.

That's just too obvious.

Right. A way better use of maple bourbon barrels is to age an imperial black IPA. TOTALLY.

 

[MarcatGSB1]

Just give us Imperial Stout aged in Bourbon barrels. People cream.

But we could put nitro pale ale in bourbon barrels instead!!!

I hope they bottle date this batch, otherwise how will I tell which is the new one vs the old one on my local shelves.

Not saying that was the answer. You can still use the backstage series to do other things.

Right. But our only repeats so far are Blushing Monk (some demand) and now Mango (still on shelves throughout the bistro footprint). I have no idea what they're doing.

Highly likable post. Much clicks.

Good news, when I asked on Founders Instagram, they said this batch will say "2016" - this way we'll be able to tell (aside from the dust on the bottle)

They actually responded? Fantastic troll.

Anyone planning on hitting this Cellar Raid thing going on today through Sunday? I'm going to be at my parents' in Kzoo Saturday so I was thinking of either coming up Friday night for it or hitting it at open Sunday before heading back to Chicago. Not sure if it will be worth it. I guess I'll be able to see what is tapped the next few days...

I'm sure the taps are worth it, but its all relative to what you like, or what have or haven't had.

For instance, KBS and CBS will be on everyday. Today's new taps are BA Honeystuff, a BA honey wheat wine aged in bourbon barrel for 1049 days. And KBS Blast. KBS aged in Blis Blast hot sauce barrels. Every day brings new beers and vintage goodies.

I've scanned the internets and found nothing about KBS week/taproom bottle release for 2016. Anyone got info on this?

Do we know what the dates of the release are?

Was this info available somewhere and I'm just a dufus? Or are they keeping it on the qt for some reason? I recall it being pretty publicized in years past.

It was posted briefly in Eventbrite, but then pulled down.

Here's the full info (from that other website)

KBS: What we’ve got here is an imperial stout brewed with a massive amount of coffee and chocolates, then cave-aged in oak bourbon barrels for an entire year to make sure wonderful bourbon undertones come through in the finish. Makes your taste buds squeal with delight.


We will be selling this product in our taproom using a controlled five-day, pre-ticketed release, similar to previous releases. Tickets go on-sale Saturday, February 13, 2016 at 11am EST.

So much caps

 

[Lansman]

Only including the CAPS portion of the middle of the message gets the point across surprisingly well without the need for all that additional text.

KBS:

THREE KBS ONLY, ONLY ONE. ONE KBS ONLY ON THE DATE, IN PERSON. CANNOT BE TRANSFERRED - NO EXCEPTIONS.
