Chip Pollock

90 Minute Imperial IPA (2023) Pollock

Doing it for the badge. Sadly, the badge is for 60 minute.

Nitro Imperial Breakfast Stout Pollock

Far right. So ridiculously delicious.

Nitro Breakfast Stout Pollock

I’m not a fan of nitro beers because they usually just taste flat but this is absolutely delicious. The nitro actually brings out the coffee and chocolate even more. One amazing beer.

Citrus Squall Pollock

I’m kind of feeling this. I get the Paloma they were going for but they don’t hit you over the head with it.

All Day Grapefruit Pollock

Pretty darned tasty for a session.

Crimson Cru Pollock

Quite tasty. Better than expected based on other ratings.

Mortal Bloom Pollock

Decent but far from the best of Founders.

KBS Hazelnut (2023) Pollock

You can never go wrong with a KBS.

Breakfast Stout (2023) Pollock

This would be my morning coffee if I didn’t have a job to attend.

Breakfast Stout (2023) Pollock

One of the best easily accessible craft beers ever.

KBS Blueberry Pollock

I want to love this one but it’s not as good as the last 2. Missing some barrel, still sweet but the blueberry isn’t as a fresh blueberry, and the coffee isn’t as rich as the others. Very good but not great.

KBS Hazelnut (2022) Pollock

Tastes like pouring hazelnut creamer into KBS…if hazelnut creamer was good.

Kbs (2023) Pollock

Left. Very excited to do a KBS tasting with Junior. Showing her new beers and hearing her thoughts is awesome. Beer is awesome.

KBS Spicy Chocolate (2023) Pollock

Really wanted more “spicy.”

4 Giants Tropical Treasure (2023) Pollock

Not my favorite from Founders, but pretty tasty.

4 Giants Tropical Treasure Pollock

Past its prime and full of floaters.

KBS Spicy Chocolate Pollock

Nice touch of heat on the back but lacking the chocolate, coffee, and barrel I expect from a KBS.

KBS Pollock

Never gets old.

All Day Haze Pollock

Good for a session, I just don’t like most sessions as the are too light and bland.

KBS Blueberry Pollock

Definite blueberry and coffee but not getting much barrel. Still very tasty.

Bottle Shop Series: Mango Magnifico Pollock

I know this beer gets a lot of hate, but I like it. Overly sweet mango on the front, but balanced out on the back by the heat. Just wish for a tad more heat.

Sweet Repute Pollock

Very tasty. I’m a much bigger fan of wheat wines than barley wines.

Sweet Repute (2022) Pollock

Other than Bigfoot, I’m not a fan of barley wine, but I do like wheat wine. This is really tasty. Another solid Founders creation.

Chocolate Cherry KBS Pollock

Rich cocoa, classic KBS base, but not much cherry. Still very tasty.

Ultimate Oktoberfest Pollock

Nice take on the style. Love the barrel.

Mandarin & Mango Crush Pollock

Nice and orange-y. A little touch of mango. Nice.

French Toast Bastard Pollock

By far the best scotch ale I’ve ever had. By far the best French Toast I’ve ever had. My last check in for this just disappeared.

French Toast Bastard (Barrel Aged Series 2022) Pollock

By far the best scotch ale I’ve ever had. By far the best French Toast I’ve ever had.

KBS Cinnamon Vanilla Cocoa (2021) Pollock

Super tasty.

Punkin Ale (2022) Pollock

A yearly favorite. Better than I remember the last two years being.

Oktoberfest 2022 Pollock

Great as always.

Oktoberfest Pollock

Not a huge fan of the style but this is nice. Quite malty as expected. Nicely sweet.

Highball Drifter (2022) Pollock

Amazingly tasty Old Fashioned cocktail beer. Another great offering by Founders.

Bottle Shop Series Highball Drifter Pollock

Didn’t expect to have these in the same night, much less back to back on a work night but this stuff is delicious. Goodnight. No hint of the 11% considering the close relationship it has to the cocktail.

Hazy-O! Pollock

Super smooth for the ABV but pretty malty. Hoping it’s just an old can—can’t read the date.

Hazy-O! Pollock

4 Giants Hazy IPA Pollock

Great find today.

4 Giants IPA Pollock

One of Founders more underrated beers. I really like this stuff.

4 Giants IPA (2022) Pollock

Underrated in my opinion compared to the overall ratings on here. Very tasty.

Frootwood (2022) Pollock

Cherry and maple…me likey.

KBS Hazelnut Pollock

Nearly perfect. I’m pretty sure Founders could make KBS Butt Sweat and find a way to make it awesome.

KBS Espresso (2021) Pollock

Day 1 of advent calendar. Pretty great start, I’d say! Thanks brad h. and April!

Velvet Rush (2021) Pollock

Coffee, chocolate, and a hint of barrel. Totally delicious!

KBS Espresso (2021) Pollock

I could drink this beer forever….daily!!!

Punkin Ale 2021 Pollock

Love that they change the artwork yearly!

Mango Smoovie Pollock

Nicely tart and definite mango.

Más Agave Grapefruit (2021) Pollock

Love the grapefruit and the tequila barrel. Smooth and super sweet.

Más Agave Prickly Pear Pollock

Very sweet initially, followed by salt and some tequila barrel. Odd but very tasty. A bit thick and syrupy.

Más Agave Premium Hard Seltzer Strawberry Pollock

Kentucky Bourbon Stout (KBS) (2021) Pollock

Delicious as always! Getting a bit more licorice than I remember.

90 Minute Imperial IPA Pollock

Maltier than I remember.

SeaQuench Ale Pollock

Más Agave Premium Hard Seltzer Lime Pollock

A solid seltzer but nothing close to the original Mas Agaves or other Founders releases.

Bottle Shop Series: Nemesis Pollock

Not a huge barley wine fan but this is quite good. A tab too acidic but good.

Panther Cub Pollock

Definitely feeling this stuff!

Panther Cub (2021) Pollock

Definite maple and vanilla but little barrel but it’ll likely open up as this warms. Been wanting to try this and glad I found it. Kinda feeling this tiger king.

Big Luscious (2020) Pollock

I’m a big fan of raspberry stouts. Super fruit forward. Great!!!

Better Half 2020 Pollock

Nice and boozy. Very rich and maple-y. Not generally a fan of the style, but when done well, greatly enjoy it.

Moon Rambler IPA Pollock

A poor effort by Founders is still a good beer. Nice creamy mouthfeel and tropical flavor followed by an unbalanced amount of bitterness. Odd.

KBS Espresso (2020) Pollock

A nearly perfect beer. TONS of coffee, a bunch of chocolate, and a bourbon boozy finish. I hate that CBS is gone, but this will make everything ok as it definitely fills the void.

Underground Mountain Brown (2020) Pollock

Awesome.

KBS Maple Mackinac Fudge Pollock

Delicious. I’ve been waiting to find this and it didn’t disappoint.

Punkin Ale Pollock

A yearly ritual.

Marvelroast (2020) Pollock

Coffee, chocolate, and vanilla. Creamy mouthfeel. Totally delicious.

Mas Agave (2020) Pollock

Margarita in beer form. Celebrating another Grad School class completed and a new job!

Marvelroast Pollock

I know I’m supposed to be mad at Founders, but holy 💩 is this good! Coffee, chocolate, and vanilla with a creamy mouthfeel. Awesome!

Más Agave Grapefruit Pollock

Oh yes...very sweet but super tasty. Definitely grapefruity and salt.
