    UPDATE: We are under contract negotiations in three new states right now: Texas, Florida and Maryland. It is our hope and intent to get Founders beer on shelves and on draft in all three states in the month of April. Stay tuned.

    Yup, been rumored for a while. It will be good not having to trade CCB for Founders! :wink:

    I hope it works out. The few Founders that I have had were pretty good!

    Hasn't Larry Bell said he'd never distribute to certain states? I think I'd be right in assuming MD is one of those (and given how shitty our distributors are, I can't really blame him).

    I emailed founders and they said they would be in Florida hopefully by April.

    And yet Michigan can't get Three Floyds.

    Damn you Three Floyds.

    I hate you, Three Floyds.

    I'm sorry. I love you, Three Floyds.

    I know Founders are known mostly for their stouts, but how are their IPAs? All I have ever had from them is of course is their Breakfast.

    Centennial IPA is very good.

    Thanks I will definitely have to give that one a shot. I was reading the reviews for the Centennial and it sounds like a solid IPA.

    Great news for this Floridian. It will be interesting to see who gets the distribution service in the Tampa area, and what kind of cooler and shelf space Founders will be given in the retailers. Also, I have no idea of their pricing. What does a sixer of Founders Porter go for? Smutty and Anchor are around $9 in this area.

    Not expecting it from Founders, but hoping quality isn't sacrificed with increased quantity.
