Founders Brew Schedule

Definitely one of the cooler websites for a craft brewer that we've ever taken five seconds to look at:

http://foundersbrewing.com/founders/beer/brand-calendar

The brand calendar actually lists when their beers are available and since they distribute to many states outside of Michigan, head down to your local brew pub/beer store and see what you can find. 

For March, the Kentucky Breakfast Stout is going to be available and being here in KC, we know exactly where we are headed to bong this beer - Blanc Burgers + Bottles (4710 Jefferson, KC, MO 64112), where Bryan always treats us with "mad love" and respect.  I have a feeling that if this beer is even only slightly better than the Founders seasonal beer Breakfast Stout, that we might end up as Pookie from "New Jack City" - cracked out and dead...I mean buzzed and enlightened.

One thing that we've both found interesting about Founders Breakfast Stouts is that despite the color and abundance of coffee, they aren't overbearing at all.  The original Breakfast Stout is 8.3% ABV, yet it goes down dangerously easily, to the point that you too might wake up with one shoe on/fully clothed, with the remnants of yet another late night trip to El Rancho next to you, and the stink of shame hanging in the air.  KBS checks in at over 10% with hints of bourbon/whiskey, so be sure to bring your fork, knife, and capacity for subtle "clearance burps".

  1. If KBS is anything like Nemesis, it may be released in March, but KC won't see any until May or June. Not sure why.

  2. Thanks craftbeerkc...We've been holding out hope that KC will see it "on time" due to the fact that Founders Breakfast is a seasonal and was available pretty much right on schedule with the Founders Brew Calendar.

    I'm going to cross my fingers from now until March - could cause some problems with my normal, daily activities but it should be worth it
