Breakfast Stout Ayres

Well.... it IS breakfast time. 🥓☕

KBS Espresso (2021) Ayres

12% breakfast beer on a rainy Saturday morning? Coffee. Bourbon. Yup. Such a fabulous Founder's offering. 👌

Porter Ayres

Now let's get it started. A nice revisit of a good ole reliable. A great example of what a porter should be.

Utopias Barrel - Aged World Wide Stout (2021) Ayres

17.3% & 70 ibus? Sounds like a recipe for success! Haven't had this in a long while. Also a treat to find some DFH Utopias. 👍

KBS Maple Mackinac Fudge Ayres

Mmmmmarvelous. A Founders gem, imo. Sweet fudge, mega malts. A near-perfect offering. 👌

Grolsch Premium Lager Ayres

Crisp n' clean. The Leafs better play like this beer in the third if we want two points tonight 🙏🏒

Breakfast Stout Ayres

Breakfast stout.... for lunch! ☕

Grolsch Premium Lager Ayres

....and another! 🍺 Down 1-0 after the first. But UP 3-2 after five. 🏓 The Rail Trail Cup is up for grabs. Just need one more win.... 🏆

Grolsch Premium Lager Ayres

Crisp & refreshing Leafs pregame brews with Patrick. I hope the Leafs absolutely wreck the woefully suckish Sens. But somehow... I still worry. Stupid brain....

My compatriots are sluggish this morning. Come on boyz! It's festival day. Warm up your liver. Amarathon awaits. Breakfast beer!

Props to Kevin B. for bringing out an aged DBF souvenir. Love, LOVE the coffee hit in this KBS variant. YUM!!! 👏

KBS Ayres

BFTW-three back-to-back 10%+ stouts? You know where this is going. KBS is always spectacular. The 12% is perfectly hidden. A near perfect stout, imo. 🎊

KBS Hazelnut Ayres

Mmmmmmarvelous as always. A 12% nutty malted nectar. Pregame Bulldogs brews!

French Toast Bastard Ayres

An 11.1% Bastard. Quick hit of big maple immediately, with dry cinnamon creeping in behind. Vanilla is more on the nose than in the flavour, imo. Its bloody good, and very rich. Another BIG beer!

World Wide Stout Ayres

A beautiful 5th experience with this epic 18% gem. Saved it to share with my Down Under brother. Smooth. Subtle. Extremely dangerous.

KBS Cinnamon Vanilla Cocoa Ayres

A beauty KBS variant. The right amount of cinnamon, subtly sweet vanilla, and bitter dry cocoa. Superb combo. 👌

Breakfast Stout Ayres

Breakfast! A warm & sunny Saturday morning start-up. The Founders baby can't be wrong, can he? 👶🍻

A mega-awesome 12% revisit with Terence as we board the subway downtown. Creamy nutty goodness! Amazing.

Bottled 09/10/21. Aging beautifully! 👌 Happy to introduce Joel to this Founders beauty! Coffee to the max! Awaiting the arrival of Blanchard & Zizzle for Leafs-Habs tonight! Go LEAFS Go!

KBS Espresso Ayres

A 12er after a 14.7% may not be the best birthday strategy.... but they're so damn delicious. Suds has landed! Gonna be a great day! KBS!!!

World Wide Stout Ayres

Introducing Pete D. to the 18% malted black happiness that is WWS. I love this beer. Wish we had more regular access to this DFH gem. 4.30☆

Mmmm... Maple! Mackinac! Mudge! A KBS to seek and find. Marvelous! 🍻

90 Minute Imperial IPA Ayres

Dogfish Head on a Friday night makes me happy. Very happy.... x90.

An 18% malted gem! And worthy of the last beer of the 2022 poker table. So good. Just soooo good. 18%??? Well blended and disguised in the flavour profile. Tastes like.... yum.

KBS Hazelnut Ayres

A beautiful 12% hazelnut coffee nectar. I ♥️ KBS and all their variants. Nutty. Malty. Deeeeeeelicious. 👌

KBS Maple Mackinac Fudge Ayres

11% Christmas Magic. See my two previous check-ins for this one. Yup. It's THAT good. Find it. Love it. Repeat.

KBS Cinnamon Vanilla Cocoa Ayres

A KBS for dessert? Hell ya! Another luxurious variant that all KBS lovers should seek out! Uber smooth 12% is barely noticable. Its laced wonderfully within the dry, DRY cinnamon, rich vanilla, and bitter cocoa flavors. A guy could get pretty wrecked...😛

KBS Espresso Ayres

KBS Espresso. Enough said. 🎤

KBS Maple Mackinac Fudge Ayres

Introducing the joy of KBS to Pete D. while playing brain games. Note to self: Massive stouts and intelligent strategic choice-making don't make the best companions..... 😛

BFE- How could this NOT be my first check-in with the DBF Boyz? 🎉

Campfire Amplifier Ayres

Eagerly awaiting the arrival of the final two pieces of the puzzle! ETA 4:22pm! A great revisit to a nicely malted DFH offering.

4 Giants IPA Ayres

A nice revisit. Wanted to step back on the high octane stuff. We still have a long day ahead of us! This 9.2% bitter piney IPA hits the spot.

KBS Maple Mackinac Fudge Ayres

OMG.... Picture KBS, and then dissolve an epic block of fudge into it. Then push the abv northwards by a few points. Yup. It THAT good. 🎉

Lil' Red IPA Ayres

$3 pint to start? Sold! We are stateside and at a familiar haunt. I♥️Founders! This Red IPA is like a quality version of a Rickards Red, with a better hop hit. Tasty!

KBS Ayres

Damn....so good. Coffee & chocolate. Founders. Stout Ridiculousness. Bam!

Breakfast Stout (2021) Ayres

Nectar of life! So happy I went big and stocked up during Summer Brewventure. Props to Jeremy P. for encouraging me to splurge while we were there. Worth every penny. Rich, thick, malted darkness. 👌

KBS Hazelnut Ayres

Mark K. delivers a post-game homerun! A 12% beauty that I just recently had AT the source. ALWAYS happy to see KBS, especially after a Bull Dogs victory! 🥎

Campfire Amplifier Ayres

A tasty DFH repeat. Its deliciously underrated.... and repeatable! 👍

KBS Hazelnut Ayres

Another day, another KBS. Yup. Hazelnut variant rocks. 12% of KBS awesomeness. Creamy, nutty, smooth, malted black gold. Bam! 👏🍺🎊

Campfire Amplifier Ayres

Another Michigan adventure find with Jeremy P. #brewventure2022. A DFH that's new-to-me... and most everyone within my Untappd range of influence. If you like DFH and Stout, seek it out! Not epic, but really good! Sweet malts & creamy goodness. Yup! 👌

90 Minute Imperial IPA Ayres

A Milton Delaware gem... 90x over. Sooooooooo good. Hoptastic. Enough said. 👌

KBS Espresso Ayres

OMG.... from the source. It wasn't tapped when we were there, but they had some in the bottle shop. AMAZING. Strong bitter coffee balances the 12%. KBS....on steroids. EVEN better as it warms (if that's possible) ☕

4 Giants Hazy IPA Ayres

BFE-A mighty fine IPA at the source, before heading to the Ypsilanti beer festival. A hoppy selection that satisfies. 👍

Pineapple Gose Ayres

Oh...that's candy! A beauty palate cleanser. Sucks the moisture from your mouth, makes it pucker for the slightest moment, and then replaces it with a pineapple Jolly Rancher. Yup. It works! As advertised. 👌🍍

Hazacca IPA Ayres

THAT'S a nice NEIPA! wasn't expecting much, but its a tropical hop pop! Juicy, juicy offering! I'd take that home in a growler! 👌🍺

Ales For ALS (2022) Ayres

A middle-of-the-road IPA, but brewed for a good cause. West coast piney hop hit. Its an IPA, but nothing memorable. 🤷‍♂️

Nitro Breakfast Stout Ayres

Oh damn. So smooth. So nice. I should just buy the vacant lot next door, set up a tent, and become the beloved Founders hobo. WISH we could easily source Founders black gold north of the 49th.... 😔

Frangelic Stout Ayres

Uber smooth coffee on nitro. Like a Guinness, but with a smooth nutty interior. A mighty fine start to the day.

KBS Hazelnut (2022) Ayres

Damn.... so smooth for a 12% offering. Founders does stout soooooo well. KBS on steroids. The addition of hazelnut is epic. Like a magical elixir!

Kentucky Breakfast Stout (KBS) (2019) Ayres

A rare shelved brew, keg-cracked at the source. OMG.... it was so worth tom h. and his international taxi search to get us here. WTAF. Canada! USA! Get your shit together. It shouldn't be this hard. We're next door neighbors FFS. KBS Awesomeness. 👏

KBS Ayres

OMG! Beer Valhalla. KBS coffee +the ultra smoothness of nitrous? Mind. Blown. 🤯 No words describe this....

KBS Hazelnut Ayres

OMG.... Mark K. What. A. Find. 🎊 Massive coffee. Beautiful creamy nutty hazelnut. What a pairing! Founders impresses.... again. 👌🎊🍻 #pokernightbeers

Y U B Sooo Extra? Ayres

Fresh Start Ayres

A decent NEIPA. Not spectacular, yet fruity & tropical enough to keep me interested. Another Matt C. bringalong. The young 🦗 has good taste. Wax on! Wax off!

Fresh Start Ayres

A middle-of-the-road IPA. Tasty, yet standard fare. A good beer to kick-off a Saturday night.
