Has this DKML been on at the tap room before? Thoughts?

Yes, as Summer Sizzler. I never tried it myself.

Almost tagged you

Just wondering why this was the choice. Seems like such a bad combo.

Just when you thought it couldn't get any worse...

Yep, an imperial malt liquor aged in bourbon barrels.

IIRC, it was well received as a one off taproom only beer, not sure if it was BBA'd or not on tap. Personally, I'm not a fan of malty sweet barley/wheat wines which is what I suspect this will end up tasting like.

They haven't announced anything, but the way they're milking it with merch and videos of Dave and Mike reminiscing about old times, I'm sure there will be a party.

Founders Adding NEW Barrel-Aged Series Project Pam, Bolt Cutter & Sweet Repute



This morning you get your very first look at a new release coming to the Barrel Aged Series from Founders Brewing in Grand Rapids, MI. This is Project Pam and it is a black IPA that is aged in Maple Syrup Bourbon barrels and packaged in 750ml bottles. This beer was previously released as part of the Founders Back Stage series and I expect it will remain close to it’s previous 10.8%-AbV. Stay tuned here for release info. We also have another new Barrel Aged series beer called Sweet Repute. This beer is also a returning Backstage Series brew and it is a wheat wine ale that will be aged in Bourbon and Bourbon Maple Syrup barrels. We also have another returning beer that will hit the Barrel Aged Series. Bolt Cutter was formerly Founders' 15th Anniversary beer and it is a barley wine ale. This is also a 750ml bottle.

People seem so certain of this. Did some info leak that I missed?

Also, am I the only one not that excited about CBS? Never understood why that beer got so much love.

I ended up at a Founders tasting at Ale Mary's after work a few months ago and the rep flat out said that CBS will be the last beer this year.

The real question is... will it be in 12oz bottles?

Should follow the same format as the other Barrel Aged series beers.

From Founders email yesterday

Cadre,

As you know, we’re celebrating our 20th anniversary this year. We’ve hosted contests, commissioned custom artwork and reminisced about our humble beginnings. But, what would a celebration be without BEER?!

Following on the heels of Deca for our 10-year anniversary, Bolt Cutter for our 15th, we’re happy to share our 20th anniversary beer…

Tank Bender
eisbock aged in bourbon barrels

Tank Bender is our first foray into the rare style known as eisbock. This style involves freezing water off the beer, resulting in ultra-concentrated flavor, deeper body and, in our case, a bent tank from collapsing ice. A liberal addition of Munich malt highlights the toasty and dark fruit notes while a stay in bourbon barrels tames those intense flavors.

We will be selling special Tank Bender bottles and gift sets on-site at the brewery. They will be sold near our Education entrance off of Williams St. beginning at 10am on October 14 and running through 11pm or until we run out – whichever comes first.

• First come, first serve – that’s right – this should hearken back to the good ol’ days.
• There will be two options:
  • 750mL individual bottle ($20 each) OR a gift set, which includes (1) 750mL bottle, (2) commemorative glasses, a custom box and booklet ($60 each).
  • Each customer will be limited to purchasing either (2) 750mL bottles OR (1) 750mL bottle and (1) gift set.
• • Tank Bender will also be on draft during the party. Details below.
  
  
  
  
  Save the date for our 20th anniversary party! We’ll be celebrating in our taproom as well as the street out front
  • October 14, 2017.
  • No cover charge.
  • Party starts at 1pm in both the taproom and the street out front. We’ll close the outdoor party at 11pm and continue in the taproom until 2am.
  • Live music from the FBC All Stars and more!
  • Food trucks and special offerings from the Founders deli.
