Something Great Brewing

[bradh]

There ya go! Nice call Bob!

Ps- I've been tweeting back and forth w/ Founders and Tapwerks and it looks like Tapwerks is tapping a keg of KBS April the 16th. If you are a stout fan, you need to make your way down there. Once KBS is gone, it's gone until the next year.

What time will this be going down? I love barrel aged beers (probably because i love bourbon so much)

Not sure of a time yet, all they would give me was the day.

The time will be important though... When Prairie had their tap takeover a couple weeks ago, one of their most popular beers (Pirate BOMB!) was tapped in 21 minutes. I know because the guy in front of me got the last one. I had to "settle" for BOMB! and Pirate Noir.

So is this a limited time thing, like once this beer is gone it is gone until next year? Or is it something that will be regularly available?

For KBS, yes, it's extremely limited. For Founders in general - no, we're getting year-round distribution of all their wonderful beers.

Settling for BOMB! That's a pretty good thing. Glad to see BOMB is starting to become more common in OKC. Republic has it on tap right now. Beer advocate rated it a 100 or world class beer. You've gotta be careful at 14% alcohol! That stuff will knock you off your feet! Really enjoy seeing OK breweries doing well.

A very good thing! Prairie is really making a name for themselves. Not just nationally, but internationally. They've done collaborations w/ Mikkeler (a fantastic brewery out of Copenhagen) and Evil Twin (an good brewery out of Copenhagen).

I actually happened to be in Copenhagen last summer on business and stopped by the Mikkeler brewpub (had a couple Beer Geek Brunch Weasels, a VERY good beer). The bartender asked where I was from and I mentioned Oklahoma. His face lit up and he said "Prairie!!". Kinda crazy.

Ps- Urban Johnnie has BOMB! In bottles. 10 bucks a pop... But remember, that's more alcohol than 4(!!!) 3.2 beers!!

Wow, another IPA. We don't have near enough of those.

Haha, very funny!

Seriously though, I know it's a bit ridiculous that all American brewers seem to know what to do is just dump more hops into brews, I've already gone through IPA to Stout/Porter back to IPA cycle. I too grew tired of over-hopped-ness, went to stouts and porters for a while, but found myself wanting hops again.

KBS is one of the best, if not the best, Barrel Stouts out there. This is pretty awesome.

I usually consider myself a beer snob, but have not had anything from Founders. I'm excited if they're this highly regarded.

Thats a good complaint to have. I had the same issue and was glad to have to "suffer" through it.

Cant wait to try this KBS.
