    Found some FIS this year but they really need to make that one at the very least a seasonal again. Just a terrific non adjunct Imperial Stout

    I still haven't seen FIS here.

    I seriously miss it showing up in mass quantities every winter. It was my go-to imperial stout before I tried Narwhal and Expedition, and now that Founders is gone Narwhal only shows up every other year for some reason and Expedition shows up at about one store, not to mention the price difference...

    I don't see Old Carmudgeon anywhere. Please don't say it's been cancelled?

    I just saw FIS show up on a local Beermenus account. I will probably go pick up a pack.

    If you mean the regular Old Curmudgeon (not Better Half), it is indeed retired, maybe for a couple of years now.

    Hopefully I’m not the only one who would like to see a return of Dissenter! Very bad ass beer

    I would like to see the return of Mango Magnifico, specifically in four packs. Pepper beers have really grown on me over the past few years, but I don't need 25.4oz of anything.

    Their overall best beer and value is Dirty Bastard. Great brew at $8.99 for a sixer.

    Agreed, hands down insanely delicious.

    I know I'm in the minority for this but I would really like to see Rum Runner and Doom make a come back, I really liked those beers.

    Ever since Red's Rye moved to draft-only I have never seen in on draft only. Wish it was a seasonal packaged beer or something.

    Founders produces good beer, but they never put anything out that I would look for. CBS and KBS are their best, but way overpriced. FBS is good, but I can get Pizza Boy's Sunny Side Up cheaper and it is better IMO.

    Did you ever have Founders Imperial Stout? When it was produced, it was one of the best non-BA stouts that was better than a lot of small brewery's limited release stouts at like half the price (4-pack compared to bombers)

    No, I have not. But by your post, it sounds like it is discontinued.

    It had been discontinued for some time but they have just re-released it again. In fact, it should be hitting their distribution footprint now. Keep an eye out for it as it is a very good imperial stout (imo).

    This has my vote, but 12oz please. Those 750ml bottles were pretty pricey for what it was.
