The Line For Founder’s CBS Could Be Seen From Space

Ok, so probably not. However, I’d bet you 10 bucks there were a lot of beards in that line. The big talk post GABF medals right now in the beer world is Founder’s Canadian Breakfast Stout hitting bottles for the first time EVER. On October 1st, the brewery held a release party for the coveted beer. An intrepid photographer climbed up to the roof and took this picture of the line. People hate good beer dont’ they?
