Founders CBS Chicago Release Events
Founders CBS takes the same base beer as their KBS and ages it in bourbon barrels that have previously held maple syrup. And what's more Canadian than maple syrup, eh? Often described as one of the best beers in the world, CBS blends rich maple syrup, roasted coffee, and smooth chocolate for a mesmerizing drinking experience.
This beer is very limited and we recommend making a plan of attack to seek it out. See the list of the release dates and times below.
Please note: CBS will be available at retail locations besides those listed below. Contact your local beer-purchasing retailer to find out if they will have CBS in stock.
