Unraveled IPA LaFollette

Torn between 3.75 or 4.0 so rounded up. This may become a warm weather standard; not too heavy but plenty of flavor.

Red's Rye IPA LaFollette

Picked up a growler about 2 weeks ago whenI was in Grand Rapids. I asked for Li’l Red, but received Red’s Rye. I’d had it before but it’s been awhile.

KBS Cinnamon Vanilla Cocoa LaFollette

Thanks Becky & John! Very good, but prefer the traditional KBS. Combination of flavors makes the vanilla taste like coconut.

90 Minute Imperial IPA LaFollette

Very good. Occasionally you have to go back and taste an old standard to compare some of the newer beers too. 90 minute is my benchmark imperial IPA.

Curmudgeon Old Ale LaFollette

Missed my flight so what better place to wait in Grand Rapids than Founders tap room? I’m doing a side by side of curmudgeon and curmudgeon’s better half...mix the two and it’s ideal...
