Arguably Founders Brewing Co’s most sought-after release, KBS is a barrel-aged version of a variant of the brewery’s Breakfast Stout. Massive amounts of chocolate and coffee combined with the character the bourbon barrels impart are what make this beer so popular but it’s the difficult brewing process that make it a labor of love for the brewers.
The beer ages in first use bourbon barrels in a cave 120 feet underground for over a year. It’s constantly tested and sampled until the brewers give the go-ahead for each barrel to make the 30-minute elevator journey back to the surface.
Look for Founders Brewing KBS all week in bars and restaurants throughout Chicago.
