Founders Harvest - Any Word?

Hahaha, I've loved this stuff so much in the past that it's one of only two releases that I've fretted over finding this year, which has prompted me to check the various Founders Harvest threads here day after day after day.

(The other one was the Boulevard/Pretty Things collaboration Stingo that was released while I was on vacation, which still remains shelf-available in my area two and a half months later. If only I could sleep on Founders Harvest for a week and still find some...)

 

So much yes to this.

 

UnseeN in Central Ct still

 

so guess they shipped it prior to their harvest fest after all if maine got it 10/10.. earliest us here in NJ will see it is 10/22 : /

 

So true... My "beer guy" is awesome as he's always making sure what I want is available for when I pull into the packy at 5:30pm. Last time was Ithaca's Flower Power and the time before that was Founders' Breakfast Stout.

Funny thing was when I went to pick up the FBS, I saw some other guy grab the last 2 packs of it... Fortunately, I had my own cached stock thanks to the "beer guy"...

 

My beer store has it! Central Vermont, picking some up on my way home from work tonight. Have never had it before, can't wait.

 

I got the last 4 pack at my local Hy-Vee. I loved it last year and was only able to get 2 4 packs then. I guess I have to like it less this year if I want to make this 4 pack last. Yeah...that's not going to happen.

 

Picked some up in Portland, ME last weekend. I dig the beer, especially the aroma, but it's pretty under-carbonated. Not sure if this was what they were going for or not. The aroma would have come out much more at a higher carb level. All in all a very good IPA though. Cheers

 

^hmm it was well carb'd last year.. don't like the sounds of it being under carb'd this year : /

 

Nice, I didn't see it at Stowe Beverage today, but I'm gonna take a stroll down to the local store and see if it's in stock

 

So let me get this straight... northern new england has Hill Farmstead, Heady Topper, Maine Brewing Company, Lawsons, and all those great beer bars.
AND they get Founders Harvest before the rest of us.

Yeah, that's fair.

 

Their punishment is that they have to live in northern new england

 

I agree COMPLETELY!

 

Shut up bubbles! Kitties aren't spose to smoke cigrettes!

 

Not sure it'll help, but I walked into the same store on KBS release day in march and was in and out of there in 5 minutes with a case, plus two 4-packs. It was on the shelf, the store was dead, so I figured why not?

Also, that store is now carrying Hill Farmstead bottles too. Picked up two Annas on my way home from work last night. Twilight of the Idols is coming in a few weeks, they said. Good addition, it's hard driving 2 hours to HF. Glad I can get it right next to where I work

Rumor I heard from my beer guy is that the Bruery is close to adding Vermont too. Take it with a grain of salt, but...

Also, Founders Harvest is AWESOME. Really, really good. More expensive than I thought it would be...I paid $13 for the 4-pack. That about normal?

 

Heh- yeah, that helped a lot.

But hey- all of us in NE can be happy about the beers being brewed here now.

And, I'm sure Founders Harvest will show up in MA. Hopefully it's still fresh-ish by the time it does!

 

eh i think harvest was 13-15 here in NJ last year.. think i paid 13.99 or 14.99.. maybe a few shops will have it at 12.99.. not quite sure

 

Was at Vinnin's in Swampscott and Busa's in Salem on Wednesday. Both places have the entire line of Founder's that we can get in MA. Talked to the delivery driver at Vinnin, said maybe next week. I know they don't have the buying power as some other stores, but usually get first crack at limited releases in the North Shore. I picked up 2-4 packs in Maine last night, looking forward to bustin those bad boys open when I get home.

 

I have Founders Harvest at $11.99 at a little natural food shop in Scarborough ME.

 

what is said store you speak of? I found harvest at the white river coop today but really curious about the HF...
