    Has something changed in the last 6 months or so?

    Their products just came back on the shelves around here literally yesterday after not having seen new Founders(or any) in at least a month or 2. And what are the selections you ask?? Well, Pale Ale bottled in early May. Centennial bottled in early May as well. All Day and Dirty Bastard as well, didn't bother checking dates after the first 2.
    Still no sign of DT, though I have have no desire to really pick any up, thought it would be here by now.

    Its not hard to find their Pale Ale aged for over a year on shelves in many places around Chicago.

    As much as I like them, I certainly will never put my money down for an IPA/APA that is over 2 months old and I also don't really feel like giving you money for your other beers if you can't figure out how to get your products better distribution. (Some sorry sap is going to buy those 6 month or year old Pale Ale bottles and be quite pissed off they just wasted their hard earned dollars on something that is past its expiration date)

    I wouldn't talk smack about Chicago distributors, unless you want to wake up with a horse's head next to your pillow.
