Michael Bell of Founders Brewing will be coming to our store—on Wednesday, June 3 at the Forsyth location.

Open House style tasting from 6:30-8:00.

Here is what we are scheduled to taste from Founders:


Dirty Bastard, Porter, Reds Rye, Centennial IPA, Curmudgeon, Double Trouble, and Cerise




Founders Dirty Bastard 6pks
"Founders flagship beer. Dirty Bastard is an absolute beautiful beer to behold. Dark ruby in color and brewed with ten varieties of imported malts this beer continuously lives up to its reputation as a bold and powerful ale. Dirty Bastard is complex in the finish with hints of smoke and peat paired with a malty richness, finalized with a good bit of hop attitude. This beer ain't fer the wee lads" -- Founders
ABV = 8%


Founders Centennial IPA 6pks
"Selected as a benchmark for the Beer Judge Certification Program used in all American based beer judgings. Centennial IPA has quickly become the IPA of choice. Pour yourself a pint of this complex flavorful ale and bask in the frothy head's floral bouquet. Relish the immense citrus accents, achieved by the abundance of dry hopping. This ale's sweet, malty undertones balance the hop character with a finish that never turns too bitter." -- Founders
ABV = 7.2%



Founders Curmudgeon Old Ale
"This Old Ale conjures up thoughts of classic sea fairing ports, there local pubs and the weathered fisherman that frequent them. In traditional style Curmudgeon is brewed with an intense focus on the malt bill creating a very strong, rich, malty characteristic and a sweetness indicative of its cousin the barleywine. We are especially proud of the balance in this beer making it deceptively smooth and drinkable at 9.3% alcohol by volume. Specs: 9.3% ABV " -- Founders




Founders Red Rye


"Pours a spectacular crimson red with a creamy tan head. Brewed with four varieties of Belgian caramel malts imparting a sweet richness. Red's Rye is impressively balanced with its hop bitterness and huge citrus bouquet achieved from the immense amarillo dry hop. The generous amount of malted rye used accentuates a spicy crisp finish." -- Founders


ABV = 6.4%

Founders Double Trouble -- Double IPA
Founders Porter
Founders Cerise -- Cherry




Plus hopefully we will see these eventually:
Founders Breakfast Stout
Founders Kentucky Breakfast Stout
Founders Imperial Stout
Founders Black Rye

Now that is what I'm talkin bout!
I'm glad they didn't use the time honored excuse of "we had trouble getting our label approved in Missouri." Great micro breweries will come to MO/STL and the ones that don't probably don't need to anyway. The STL needs players not pretenders.

I don't think we'll be seeing ruebus (sp?) or Devil Dancer any time soon. The replacements for those are Cerise and Double Trouble.
