Founders Has Arrived!

The coming of Michigan-based Founders Brewery is the buzz of the beer community the past month or so. Well, they’re here.
The most highly touted beer in their arsenal is the Breakfast Stout. This beautiful beer pours rich deep black with a light brown quickly dissipating head that caresses the glass.
Aromas are: a little malts, a little roasty, and a whole lot of coffee.
The beer’s bitter coffee flavor is strong out of the gate, but finishes silky smooth. It’s a mysteriously dark handsome coffee beer, with sex appeal. Beer can be complex. Beer can even be sophisticated. And yes, beer can be sexy.
At 8.3% abv, enjoy curled up in front of a romantic fire with steamy companionship.

Just finished the Founders Red’s Rye P.A., an outstanding hopped-up rye ale. The scotch ale is nice too, the IPA is just pretty good.
