Recap of Founders 2015 KBS Week and Blushing Monk Release
Founders Brewing Co. is continuing to make 2015 a year for fans of craft beer to remember, most recently with their weeklong KBS release fresh on the heels of the Backstage Series return of the Blushing Monk Belgian raspberry ale. Blushing Monk makes a welcome return being the beer to first launch the series back in 2011 and one that fans have been clamoring for in the four years that have passed since Founders last brewed it. In making my rounds this year, I enjoyed my first snifter of Blushing Monk in Holland at Hops at 84.

Recap of Founders Firkin Freezeout 2015
Founders has been having a great year so far. Late 2014 saw a limited draft re-release of fantastic Maple Bourbon barrel-aged CBS (Canadian Breakfast Stout) which has been making numerous appearances both at the pub and at local bars and restaurants. On top of this, Founders really rolled out some favorite vintage beers for their weeklong Cellar Raid event in January, as well was recently visited by and tapped a collaborative release with the Scottish hosts of the Brew Dogs television series. In the midst of the flurry of activity at the brewery, I paid a visit to Founders in early February for yet another highly anticipated event, the 2nd annual Firkin Freezeout.
