    Alright all you NJ folks.

    I've been waiting my little booty off for FBS this year and I'm getting pretty frustrated seeing so many other states getting hit with it already. Has anyone sighted FBS in NJ yet? I'm in central Jersey, and the two places I frequent are still waiting.

    *fingers crossed*

    its usually everywhere when it comes out now. no longer hard to get in NJ. if the place carries founders, they should get FBS.

    Picked up a 4 pack in N NJ figured it was this years, turned out to be last years. Oh well. Will definitely be on the look out for the new shipment.

    Wegman's in Bridgewater has some left over 4 packs from last year. Picked up a couple myself last week.

    It is kind of funny a local bottle shop is having a Breakfast Stout release party today and there are no fresh(2014) bottles to be found. Philly Tap Finder has a lot of recent Breakfast Stout tappings in the city but they could be old kegs. I have a bad feeling that our mid-atlantic region may be holding on to the lions share expired Breakfast Stout and are using the "Buzz" created by others to hopefully sell the old shit real fast before they get the fresh stuff in.

    Seriously. But weirdly, the profile for FBS on the Founder's site says Oct-Dec, which is odd.

    Either way, I'm getting impatient. WBAYDN is full of FBS and I'm getting jealous!

    It's still good. I have some in my fridge now and it's great.

    If I am going to age a beer, it's not going to be a coffee beer. The imperial stout is very good with a year or two on it. This one loses what is good about it

    My last of 2013 I had about a month ago and I hadn't had any for about 6 months. I was surprised that there was still a decent amount of coffee, but I was blown away by the chocolate notes I was getting. A bit of a different beer, but seriously worth saving a few for a year. Delicious.

    Yeah, we just got Xocoveza in within the last week, and it was bottled 8/29. We can't be too far from FBS!

    Hasn't been released in the state yet.

    Heard Harvest, Penance and Breakfast stout are all set to release on Monday.
