KBS Spicy Chocolate Banka

Skipped the bottle on these. Not too bad on draft

Mortal Bloom Banka

Last night post show check in

Canadian Breakfast Stout (CBS) (2023) Banka

Flip cup and beer pong (not with this beer though). Nostalgia.

All Day IPA Banka

Will’s baptism shindig

KBS Banka

On draft (and serving over 8 oz pours 🥴) - tastes like it maybe the hazelnut variant but this place is poppin’

Canadian Breakfast Stout (CBS) (2023) Banka

Maybe it’s because I haven’t had a fresh CBS in 4 years but more coffee forward than anticipated. Will sit on the other three I imagine.

KBS Blueberry Banka

Introducing Ms Marcy D. to this goodness

Double Oaked KBS Banka

Decent but when drinking with the Mole and a CBS it loses its luster.

KBS Mole Banka

Missed out on the advent calendar by an hour 😢. Still got a 4 pk of CBS and a chance to enjoy KBS’ birthday celebration. Choco cutting the spice on this nicely. Off to a decent start.

KBS Blueberry Banka

Upping this a bit. Reloaded for a reason.

Mothership Series Barrel-aged Marvelroast Banka

Breakfast beer.

Canadian Breakfast Stout (CBS) (2019) Banka

Couldn’t not have one of these!!

Red's Rye IPA Banka

I need to get down on these more often. A solid go-to when available.

Breakfast Stout Banka

Dad’s birthday celebration

Canadian Breakfast Stout (CBS) (2019) Banka

A little cellar dive for the evening.

KBS Blueberry Banka

Better than the last wave of KBS variants. Blueberry comes through nicely giving a tart bite.

All Day IPA Banka

Gina’s luncheon

Panther Cub Banka

Enjoyed more this go around. Thanks, matt s.

Canadian Breakfast Stout (CBS) Banka

Specialty draft. Yes please. Took a swig of Kristin B.’s

4 Giants Tropical Treasure Banka

Name doesn’t lie. Tropical goodness. Pineapple champion.

Mischief Maker Banka

Brewed for the Nain Rouge parade. Kristin B. tried her hand at creating a beer on UT. Nice work, Love.

Barrel-Aged Imperial Stout 2023 (Mothership Series) Banka

Took a sip of Kristin B.’s. Trying to figure out a way to purchase a 4 pk and get it back to the car parked on the other end of town. Damn good choco

Kentucky Bourbon Stout (KBS) (2021) Banka

Hell of a beer weekend that hasn’t ended yet 😇. Find it hard to believe I never checked this in.

KBS Espresso Banka

Thanks, Debbie and Mike for the bday 4 pack.

BA Marvelroast Banka

Roasty toasty. Diggin’ this in a barrel. Thanks, matt s.

Chocolate Cherry KBS Banka

Feel like this series has gotten thinner with each variant. Espresso and Mackinac Fudge still had the KBS volume but this and the hazelnut just aren’t on the same level.

Canadian Breakfast Stout (CBS) (2017) Banka

Let’s start this year off proper

French Toast Bastard (Barrel Aged Series 2022) Banka

Last one in the stash. Still sweet, boozy, delicious….but wasn’t expecting anything different

Ultimate Oktoberfest Banka

Centennial IPA Banka

If you were wondering….the “craft beer” area has not upgraded since last season but Centennial is solid. Justin - are you in the house today?

Ultimate Oktoberfest Banka

Packs more of a punch than I anticipated.

Blushing Monk (2019) Banka

The last one of Ms Marcy D.’s leave behind when she was in MI last year. We appreciate your sacrifice. Day 1/3 of Andrew/Andrea’s wedding celebration in the books.

All Day IPA Banka

MFn’ Crüe!!

KBS Espresso Banka

Yeah….didn’t last too long on the overpriced Comerica purchases. At least we withheld on the $50 t shirt prices. Poison and Crüe!!

Canadian Breakfast Stout (CBS) Banka

The corner tap room?!?! Yes please. Comerica upping their beer availability.

Canadian Breakfast Stout (CBS) Banka

On draft 🤘🏻

KBS Hazelnut (2022) Banka

Not a bad nutty stout but nothing worthy of the KBS brand.

Kentucky Breakfast Stout (KBS) (2022) Banka

Errands complete. Kickin’ off the evening with a classic. Always solid, always satisfying.

Canadian Breakfast Stout (CBS) (2018) Banka

Drinking my 2020 birthday gift from my mother-in-law. Had a lot of help from Kristin B. on the gift selection 😇

Canadian Breakfast Stout (CBS) (2017) Banka

Time for a heavy. And oh what a heavy. Miss that Mountie.

Canadian Breakfast Stout (CBS) Banka

Still enjoy watching the Pats get blown out.

Canadian Breakfast Stout (CBS) Banka

Don’t know the year but on draft yes please

Frootwood (2021) Banka

Cooper Kupp looks like a Viking with short hair. Makes me want to listen to Amon Amarth 🤘🏻

Frootwood (2021) Banka

Ugh….hate when my weekend ends with the Packers in prime time (Tripp ). But I shall enjoy a fantastic beer anyways.

KBS Espresso (2020) Banka

Didn’t get a chance to share this with the in-laws yesterday so we’ll enjoy it today

Castle Black Stout Banka

Subtle chocolate and bourbon. Not a bad find.

Dirty Bastard Banka

Catch up check in. Ran into other Herman Moore jersey wearers!! #HM84

Canadian Breakfast Stout (CBS) Banka

Labeled as a 2020 but on nitro. Yes please.

Blushing Monk Banka

Freebies and inheritance has been a theme of mine lately so with that being said. …..thanks, Ms Marcy D. for buying too many to last you your last trip to the mitten 😄

All Day IPA Banka

Bout time I got into the case I inherited from Lil Pickles’ wedding!! I didn’t know the brother-of-the-bride was entitled to gifts 👍🏼

KBS Cinnamon Vanilla Cocoa Banka

Made it to the destination. Time to remove the training wheels and get into some heavy boys. It does sadden me to rank KBS’ on the decline with each variant. It’s not bad but it’s not really good. Maybe take time & get the brand back to brilliance.

Big Luscious (2020) Banka

Depleting a little inventory. One more of these bad boys left from my mother in law.

Big Luscious (2020) Banka

Stash throw in for the evening. Definitely gets better with Age.

KBS Espresso Banka

Love a place that offers this up. Hells yeah

Más Agave Prickly Pear Banka

Think the original edges this one out but not by much. They’re all “sweaters on your teeth” beers.

Maple Barrel Aged Frangelic Mountain Brown Banka

Solid choice to continue our evening

Maple Barrel Aged Frangelic Mountain Brown Banka

Won $184 on a fight parlay. Don’t get too excited....they were pretty much picked randomly except the underdog in the main event and only because he was one of the few fighters I still recognize 🤘🏻

Panther Cub (2021) Banka

We had already bought this after I got the alterations for my suit done before we decided to go to Founders. Not quite what I was hoping but not bad. Can’t pinpoint some of the flavors

Maple Barrel Aged Frangelic Mountain Brown Banka

Day-of changes to our errands took us to Detroit so we added a stop!! Nice, smooth and boozy. Deep inhale on the aroma front each pre-drink.

Marvelroast (2020) Banka

Finally clearing this out. Great beer (when fresh)

Campfire Amplifier Banka

The last one was supposed to be our last for the evening but couldn’t have that filth end the night

Canadian Breakfast Stout (CBS) (2019) Banka

Have two left.....drinking this one then putting the other in our “cellar”

Campfire Amplifier Banka

About to bust out the stockings

Canadian Breakfast Stout (CBS) Banka

Apparently we goin’ hard tonight. 🤣🤣🤣

Marvelroast (2020) Banka

Not that we were aging these....just happened to sit on a couple....definitely better fresher. (Is that proper English?)

KBS Maple Mackinac Fudge (2020) Banka

I think Kristin B. felt bad watching me choke down that nasty-ass GC seltzer so we decided to get into something better.

KBS Espresso (2020) Banka

Mini-vert complete. The Lions actually are going to pull this out.

KBS Espresso (2019) Banka

Mini-vert in the Banka household.

Big Luscious (2020) Banka

We didn’t mean to drink this much tonight but we did a supplemental uno game 🤷🏼‍♂️

KBS Maple Mackinac Fudge (2020) Banka

Mini-Racko series is happening. I need a win here. And about to enter a food coma....we made the free turkey from work today. Came out great!!

Big Lushious Banka

Lifetime Xmas movies calls for a beer 😇

Blushing Padre Banka

Missed this at Wixom Liquor. Good to get caught up and enjoy lunch with my Dad while the ladies are at my cousin’s bridal shower at The Townsend (ooooh)

Big Lushious Banka

Depleting some inventory. We made an awesome stout run over the past week that I’m looking forward to getting into tomorrow.

KBS Espresso (2020) Banka

Pretty delicious. Don’t know which I prefer yet....think I’m leaning this one.

Canadian Breakfast Stout (CBS) (2019) Banka

Coolin’ off? Bust out the stout

75 Minute IPA Banka

Still checking in Friday night beers.... 😇

All Day IPA Banka

My beer for my participation in giant pong

Frangelic Mountain Brown Banka

One of the “nice nuggets” at the reboot of Castle Wine Shoppe.

75 Minute IPA Banka

Shitty ciders done...back to the good beers

75 Minute IPA Banka

Finally been able to try this. Post check in from FaceTiming ms Marcy D.

Marvelroast Banka

Tried to give this to matt s. but he was good. Thanks, dude I’ll relish it. Delicious

Canadian Breakfast Stout (CBS) (2019) Banka
