    Year-round indeed, starting this January.

    Essentially, if we think it would be a good beer for can, we'll do it. Personally, as we were developing this beer, I always imagined having a 12-pack of cold cans at the ready, and I think everyone else on the crew agreed. What's not to like about a fresh hoppy pilsner in a can?

    Eh, we decided not to bring back the Nooner Session IPA, but last year we got so many positive comments on the name, we decided to bring it back...albeit with a beer we think would be a better fit.

    I love the stuff you can. I also like that I've seen SNPA in 16 oz. tall boys. I can't imagine anything but perhaps the stouts and porters not being awesome in a can. My dream? Bigfoot. In cans. If you're going to dream...dream big, right?

    SOmeone in another thread was talking about breweries using different sized offerings as a cash grab. But I love it. If a place offered the same beer in bombers/750's, 12 oz. bottles, 12 oz. cans, 16 oz. cans, and a 7 oz. offering...I'd love it.

    7 ounce? Hell no. Bigfoot needs a 24oz pounder... We'll call it the "Bad Decisions pack"

    lol You said it. Now help make it a reality. 24 oz. The aluminum 750. Pull tab.

    Seriously though...Big Foot in cans would make for such an awesome shotgun experience.

    I was a fan of it but you gotta do what's best for your business.

    Awesome, thanks for the confirmation! I'm glad to be proven incorrect in my guess.

    I'm going to keep repeating it, though; please make Vienna Lager a year-round offering!! PLEASE!!!! :grinning:

    Personally, I liked it too. We're working on some really fun stuff for the next 18-ish months so it's possible we'll revisit something like it in the future.

    I really loved the Vienna too. In fact, we had a fair amount of overage from that packaging and I was able to score a few cases of JUST the Vienna to drink at home. Sometimes working at a brewery has its perks! Given the response that came from that beer, I'd be surprised if it didn't show up again in the future.

    That's what I figured, makes sense. Session IPA drinkers are a tough crowd to please, with the inevitable (and unfair) comparison to their higher ABV% brethren, sessions tend to get the raw end of the deal overall.

    In terms of ratings or sales? All Day IPA is Founders' best seller.

    That's awesome that you were able to take home a few cases of it!! That's fantastic that there is a chance to see this again in the future, I know I'd buy a ton of it if you did. Thanks for the reply, Bill. Cheers!

    One of these days when you guys have enough of those variety packs under your belt, I'd love to see a "best of" variety pack full of past pack favorites.

    A 4 pack of those 24 oz resealable cans (see six point's) one each of narwhal, big foot, hoptimum and pale ale because I can't think of another of your big beers to add.

    Ps can't wait to pick up a pack of these cans.
    Pps what is this old Chico stuff and where can I get some?

    This is actually a running joke around the brewery. A mixed pack of all of the beers of yore that have gone by the wayside: Glissade, Red Wheat, Anniversary Ale, our English IPA... We joke that it should be called the Lazarus Pack--Back from the Dead.
