    It really is. This spring I saw people had Devil Dancer everywhere. Then we finally got it in Kalamazoo 5 weeks after it was bottled. No rush or anything.

    Is it a new bottle, or one from 2013?
    If it's the new batch, I may have to leave work ASAP.

    Picked up a case of FBS on Long Island yesterday afternoon (case dated 9/2/2014) and put a 4-pack in the fridge.

    Can't wait for the weekend!

    Bummer called total wine and they don't have any shipments in yet. All I want is a case and I don't feel like purchasing 6 four packs in order to do so.

    Bottled 9/1/2014, right? So, what were your opinions of the beer?

    I was always under the assumption that FBS was best fresh, but mine was so coffee-forward and alcoholic, that I'm not so certain anymore. I've never had it so fresh before. Of course it was fabulous, but I'm thinking it'll be even more fabulous in a month or two when it becomes a bit more balanced between the chocolate and coffee notes.

    FYI, @Rkish22 : I got mine from Sprayberry Bottle Shop in Marietta. They're a great shop that frequently get new releases a day or two before the larger shops. Worthy of your business if you live in the area.

    Yes I do live relatively close (live in Roswell so about a 15 min drive down Sandy Plains), did you end up getting a case or were they only selling it in four packs?

    Luckily I work near Green's, and live near Sprayberry Bottle Shop, so hopefully my belly will be full of FBS by the time I get in bed tonight. If I make it to a bed...

    FBS is always better fresh first thing in the morning watching College Gameday.

    I realize this reply is a few weeks late but if you live near DC like I do, you can get Founders there. Just call around some places

    Cosign w/Steebo, that fresh coffee is so phenomenal. I won't turn down an aged FBS, but I want to make sweet sweet love to fresh FBS.
