Caffeinated Barrel-Aged Stouts

The Founders KBS Espresso Stout is Made with Premium Beans

— November 17, 2019 — Marketing
The Founders KBS Espresso Stout has been unveiled by the brewery as an expansion of its existing barrel-aged lineup of stouts that will offer consumers a caffeinated option that's sure to please. The beer is brewed with espresso beans sourced from Grand Rapids-based Ferris Coffee & Nut, which adds a touch of caffeine as well as a premium chocolate flavor. This makes the beer ideal for enjoyment in the colder weather when heavier brews like stouts are more palatable.

The Founders KBS Espresso Stout features a 12% ABV and will come in 750ml bottles or four packs to make it perfect for bringing to holiday get-togethers. The beer is positioned to launch later this month and will be available until February.
Trend Themes
1. Caffeinated Beers - The popularity of caffeinated barrel-aged stouts indicates a growing trend of infusing coffee flavors into traditional beer recipes.
2. Premium Ingredients - The use of high-quality espresso beans in specialty beers presents opportunities for breweries to experiment with unique flavor profiles and attract discerning consumers.
3. Seasonal Brews - The release of the Founders KBS Espresso Stout highlights the trend of breweries creating limited-edition beers specifically tailored for colder weather and holiday celebrations.
Industry Implications
1. Craft Beer - Craft breweries can explore the potential of incorporating coffee into their beer recipes to tap into the growing market of coffee enthusiasts and beer connoisseurs.
2. Coffee - Coffee suppliers can partner with breweries to provide premium beans and capitalize on the demand for coffee-infused beers, offering new revenue streams.
3. Hospitality - Bar and restaurant owners can leverage the popularity of seasonal caffeinated stouts to curate unique beer menus and attract customers looking for innovative flavor combinations.
