    Pulled from the net today..... this would be so awesome.


    "Big news today from Founders Brewing Co. in Grand Rapids, Michigan. The news site mlive.com reveals that the brewer of Kentucky Breakfast Stout and other fine beers has announced its fourth major expansion in its five years of existence.
    Here’s the exciting part for Florida craft beer geeks:
    “Next year, the company expects to produce about 175,000 barrels of beer. Founders also plans to expand distribution to other states around the southeast, such as Florida, Tennessee, Maryland, Delaware and West Virginia.”​

    Awesome news, hopefully in time for their fall releases next year! I wonder who the next big name will be to hit Florida. Will New Belgium ever make the leap across the Georgia state line?

    This is awesome news! I travel to Alabama for work on a regular basis so I'm able to get Founders there, but would love to be able to get some at home too! No more shipping myself FBS, KBS, Imperial Stout, Backwoods Bastard, etc....

    Just ship FL all the KBS, the other states may keep the rest of their beers.

    I enjoy KBS, but Im ok with just having FBS, Harvest, Backwoods, and Imp Stout, and Curmudgeon.

    If i have to trade for KBS, id just make that same trade for BCBS.

    Well, BCBS is supposed to be a year round beer soon. So you'll be able to pick up a pallet at your convenience.

    yea but I would bet that it wont be in NC for a while. Honestly, I would rather see our market flooded with Sofie before BCBS. But ill take both.
