They're the ones who have a minority stake in Founders, too, right?

Correct.

I've never really liked any Schmaltz beer I've tried, but resistance is futile against the Star Trek theme. I assume Lutter can appreciate where I'm coming from.

That's one membership I will happily avoid. No, you aren't missing anything.

I have ~5 bottles of Nightcap left. Some day that beer will become amazing.









I hope.


CS has become a madlibs of beer style, adjunct(s), barrel(s).

The pils in cans is really good too

They need to make a beer with prune juice called "Warriors Drink" to legitimize this series in my mind...

That and a Blue/tinted Barrel Aged Romulan Ale. I know the previous license holder did exactly that, but maybe make it not suck this time....

Maybe a beer with Earl Gray Tea or a Quark's bar reference. I feel like there's a lot of wasted opportunity with the license so far.

I like a lot of Crooked Stave beers and his distribution company but holy **** that is a rip off.

It's like HF Collected Works, only the exact opposite.

Well that is pretty ****** up, but I guess not surprising in America circa 2017...

 

[FTowne1]

Bingo. Racism and bigotry are back in style.

Bingo. Racism and bigotry are back in style.

It never went away, we just paid less attention for a while.

It never went away, we just paid less attention for a while.

I didn't say it went away, I said it was back in style.

 

[Der Fuchs]

It never went away, we just used to be smart enough to shun them and not embolden them. Thus keeping them hiding in the dark where they belong.

Ftfy.

Thanks obama.

Is this year's CBS good? When I had the first batch it was the best beer I had ever had. When I had it on draft in like 2015 it ******* sucked, it was so bad. If its actually good, I want to go get some this year.

Great. Question answered. I will be chilling at home and eating breakfast instead. **** you Founders. Bring back 2011/2012 whatever it was CBS.
