    Those poor dudes in Ramparts can attest to its quality, too!

    Descriptions:

    Year Round

    Dirty Bastard:
    8.5% ABV, 50 IBUs
    So good it’s almost wrong. Dark ruby in color and brewed with seven varieties of imported malts. Complex in finish with hints of smoke and peat, paired with a malty richness and a right hook of hop power to give it the bad attitude that a beer named Dirty Bastard has to live up to. Ain’t for the wee lads’.

    Centennial IPA:
    7.2% ABV, 65 IBUs
    Get ready to bask in the glory of the frothy head’s floral bouquet. Relish the citrus accents from the abundance of dry-hopping. This one’s sweet, yet balanced. Malty undertones shake hands with the hop character for a finish that never turns too bitter.

    Red's Rye PA:
    6.6% ABV, 70 IBUs
    Serious hop bitterness along with unyielding grapefruit bouquet from the Amarillo dry-hop. Balanced with the malty richness of four varieties of imported Belgian caramel malts. Pours a spectacular crimson with a creamy tan head. A generous addition of rye malt accentuates a spicy crisp finish.

    Pale Ale:
    5.4% ABV, 35 IBUs
    A testament to Cascade hops in a bottle. This medium-bodied pale ale has a distinctive floral hop aroma and refreshing citrus flavor. You’ll notice a slight malty sweetness with a balanced hop finish. Perfect to enjoy anytime, anywhere.

    Porter:
    6.5% ABV, 45 IBUs
    Pours silky black with a creamy tan head. The nose is sweet with strong chocolate and caramel malt presence. No absence of hops gives Founders robust porter the full flavor you deserve and expect. Cozy like velvet. It’s a lover, not a fighter.


    Seasonal

    Double Trouble:
    9.4% ABV, 86 IBUs
    An imperial IPA that was brewed to turn your world upside down. Hops have got you coming and going. Pungent aromatics up front paired with a malt balanced backbone and a smooth bitter finish.

    Cerise (Summer Seasonal!)
    6.5% ABV, 15 IBUs
    You’ll have a soft spot for this one. Using only fresh Michigan tart cherries, this beauty tantalizes with intense flavors combined with a no hesitation malt bill. Adding fresh cherries at five separate stages of fermentation achieves the ultimate balance between tartness and sweetness.

    Breakfast Stout:
    8.3% ABV, 60 IBUs
    The coffee lovers consummate beer. Brewed with an abundance of flaked oats, bitter and imported chocolates, Sumatra and Kona coffee, this stout has an intense fresh roasted java nose topped with a cinnamon colored frothy head that goes forever.


    Specialty

    Imperial Stout:
    10.5% ABV, 90 IBUs
    Brewed with ten varieties of malted barley, this stout is smooth as silk yet complex and rich in body. Serve this guy at cellar temperature. Put another log on the fire and sit back and enjoy the friendship of this ultimate winter warmer.

    Kentucky Breakfast:
    11.2% ABV, 70 IBUs
    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. Make your taste buds squeal with delight.

    Curmudgeon:
    9.8% ABV, 50 IBUs
    Think classic sea fairing ports, local pubs, and weathered old fisherman. This old ale is brewed with molasses and an insane focus on the malt bill, then aged in oak. The result is a strong, rich, malty-delight that’s deceptively smooth and drinkable.

    Devil Dancer:
    12% ABV, 112 IBUs
    When you dance with the Devil the Devil don’t change. You do. Massive in complexity, the huge malt character balances the insane amount of alphas used to create it. At an incredible 112 IBU’s it’s dry-hopped with a combination of ten hop varieties. This one can age with the best of them.

    Harvest Ale:
    6.5% ABV, 70 IBUs
    This liquid dream pours a hazy golden orange straw color with a large puffy white two-finger head. First sip of this beer rewards with a super juicy hop presence bursting with fresh orange and lemon citrus then continues to introduce toasted malt undertones.

    Backwoods Bastard:
    10.2% ABV, 50 IBUs
    Big and delicious for your ‘perty mouth. Expect lovely, warm smells of single malt scotch, oaky bourbon barrels, smoke, sweet caramel and roasted malts, a bit of earthy spice and a scintilla of dark cherries. It’s a kick-back sipper made to excite the pallet.

    If you can get any bottles of the Canadian Breakfast Stout, I'd definitely want some of that.

    And if anyone likes complex, oaked beers, Backwoods Bastard is seriously one of the best out there. I'd want more but I'm sitting on 5 bottles right now. Should last me until the next winter release.

    Just the mere mention of Founders' Kentucky Breakfast Stout makes me weak in the knees.

    You can buy Founder's in our area. Champane's, Parkway, Cloverleaf, and Holiday Market (all within 8 miles of ICHQ) pretty much carry it all. Heck, I know where you can get some KBS if you want to pay $30 for 4 bottles. I'm sitting on 5 bottles of the Backwoods Bastard, I might bring one over in case anyone wants to try one of the finest barrel-aged beers around.

    We don't get the fancy special releases they get at the pub but everything else makes it out here.

    Yeah, and it was the fancy special stuff i was hoping to get but I was sadly surpised that they dont have any of their fancy stuff in bottles lately. Sometimes the local microbrew stores have a case or two of the specialties. I'll go searching tonight.

    At one place we saw they had Double Trouble, Backwoods Bastard, Red's Rye, Curmudgeon, Cerise, Imperial Stout, IPA, Pale Ale, and I think that's it. We'll check more places tomorrow. Anyone interested in these listed?

    If the variety pack is still an option, I'm way cool with that. I'm looking forward to trying as many different beers as I can.
