    Saw it on shelf this morning, though I didn't check if it was this season's, but almost sure it is.

    FIS has never been my favorite imperial stout. However, I was able to get a four pack of both 2014 and 2015 last year, so I'm looking forward to getting a 2016 four pack and trying them as a vertical.

    I'm in Austin and have about 2 cases of last years that I've been aging at my shop.

    Hit NorCal early last week, best Founders beer I've had since they started distributing here. All their other beers are disappointing and way overrated.

    My plan was to go out on a beer run tonight, but since being half-mauled by a dog I don't know if I'll be going anywhere but the hospital. But when I do go out, and it might still end up being tonight, I'll check back in on the Columbus, OH front. I doubt we've got it yet, but man oh man would I be psyched if we did.

    Here in Northern Virginia, we received FIS mid to late December. I've picked up a couple of 4 packs and it is tasting great.

    Founders distribution is hitting southern CA this year, hoping to see FIS and KBS.

    I'm in a Boston apartment where space is at a premium so I appreciate the store's having cellared the brew for me.

    I found a bunch of year-old bottles of Goose Island Sofia and Matilda at the same place once. I'm not sure if they just lose track of the stock or if they put them out like Easter eggs.

    This is my favorite beer, HANDS DOWN.

    Picked up 2 4-packs at the brewery today for $24. Bottle date says 12/2/2015.

    Can't wait to crack one open tonight.

    I've been aging some 2015 bottles and am starting to drink it now. It's amazing. I can't wait to compare it to this year's.

    I haven't seen this year's edition yet but I can always drive five miles down the road to my local grocery store and pick up a 4-pack of last year's batch if I need a fix.

    I think I'll make this the last 4-pack of founders i add to my collection before i move to Denver. having a couple of these to age will be mighty fine.

    I am ALL for them BBA-ing it. It's quite interesting that they haven't given the fact that they have an absolutely massive brewery.

    Absolutely love this beer - my favorite non BA RIS, although the drop in IBUs makes me nervous...:rolling_eyes:

    I received 22 stitches to my mouth, from being bitten on the mouth, and the dog also bit my arm, but otherwise I am 99% fine. I don't think saying I was mauled is accurate, since I'm pretty much fine, but just saying I got bit by a dog doesn't seem to do it justice.

    And yeah, doc said no beer afterward, so I suppose it will have to be tomorrow. :wink:
