    Good news: Founders will begin distributing in SoCal in January!
    Bad news - just missed Breakfast Stout availability - must wait many months for it to return.

    CBS showed up on tap during their KBS release at the brewery. Hopefully a repeat for 2016!

    Seasonal TBA = Black Rye?
    Agree on Devil Dancer, while not a terrible beer, $20 for a 4 pack is too much. Replace it with Redankulous in 4 packs and that price and think it would sell.

    Year-round Rübæus!? Didn't see that one coming.

    Speaking of Rubaeus, it looks as though Founders intends to can it:

    Seems as if Founders has made a strong effort in the last few years to keep their line-up dynamic. The flagships are there, and likely always will be, but they've done an excellent job transitioning tap room and one-off brews into seasonal/specialty beers.

    Nice to see them offer more in can's too...although this comment depends on these additional canned beers not interrupting the regular availability of fresh All Day.

    If they keep up the good work, they'll be an InBev company in no time. :slight_frown::angry::confused:

    Hoping one of those "TBA" is CBS...

    If they did release CBS (which seems highly unlikely) it would almost certainly be a "Backstage" beer again, and those aren't covered by this calendar. There are 3 Backstage releases a year, and they're essentially all "TBA".

    They took a gold medal beer at GABF and turned it into a two month specialty release.

    This beer might actually be decent still...American Barleywine at worst? I would be curious to try it.

    If I owned a brewery, I'd find it very hard to turn down 1 billion US (or the future equivalent after inflation)....

    They might have dropped it because it doesn't sell well. At least, it doesn't sell well around here. I see bottles that are 1 year+ old just sitting around. I don't really think it's all that great fresh anyway, but I know some people love it so if they are actually dropping it for good this is gonna disappoint.

    I'd be happy if they put all the beers in their lineup in cans.

    I know brother! Hopefully this many individual brewers changes the way Budweiser sees beer entirely for the future generations if they remain the corporate King of Beers. They won't be able to hold back the masses much longer though, there are breweries on every corner.
