FOUNDERS KBS
Tucking into a bottle of the Beer Advocate rated A plus Kentucky Breakfast Stout with Ripped at his son, Beer Lad’s, 3rd birthday party. Insane notes of coffee, vanilla, and chocolate. It’s all the fun of Kahlua… Without the snide comments from your friends. Sublime. 4 Hops…all the way.
ALL THE PRETTY THINGS
