    Does anyone know when it will be released? It seems like previous years were distributed before December...

    Looks like last year's was released on 17 Dec and the one prior was on 23 Dec so I'm guessing some time yet(?).

    Here you go - The 2017 Release Calendar:

    EDIT: Not a lot of changes. Pale Ale and Devil Dancer have been retired and PC Pils and Mosaic Promise will switch places on the calendar. Also, all three of their sixer seasonals will also be available in 15-can packs this year.

    Glad to see Palm Reader is coming back. Probably one of my favorite new MI beers from 2016.

    Yeah, I thought that was a one-off so I'm glad to see it back as well.

    They should just replace Barrel Aged #6 with CBS and kill the suspense.

    Also, stovepipe All Day cans. I think it's cool and gimmicky but not sure how many I'll actually buy once the novelty wears off.

    I like the changes here. Always felt Pale Ale and Devil Dancer were my 2 of my least favorites, and I'm sure sales were low on those. Excited to see what BA #2 and #3 are. I agree with @archiebunkerjr, BA #6 is likely CBS.

    BA Sumatra Mountain Brown would be nice!

    I also liked that they moved PC Pils to spring and summer.

    No Devil Dancer? <insert 'don't worry, you'll still be able to find it on shelves' joke here>

    Can a guy wish for a plain jane BA imperial stout with no adjuncts?

    They even used red for its color to match up with the Canadian flag/mounty uniform on the label.

    100% agree here.

    Founders Pale Ale was a very formative beer for me but honestly I haven't drank it in years.

    Currently a huge fan of the 15 packs of Azzaca, can't wait for 15 packs of Mosaic. Rumor has it that the BA beers are Doom, summer sizzler, and CBS.

    Re-brew Cashew Mountain Brown and Black Biscuit and bottle them (Yes, I know this won't happen)

    So, if the rumors are true we have Fruitwood, Summer Sizzler, Doom and CBS...and here I thought it would be a year to remember at Founders. Why can't they just do BA Sumatra, a KBS variant (maybe with vanilla), CBS and BA Imperial stout. I know it is all dark beer and no fruit but I think that is what 80% of people would want from Founders.

    That's what I was told the lineup will be, in that order IIRC. Looking forward to trying Doom again.

    Or... OR! They take all the maple bourbon barrels from frootwood... and use it all for CBS. Seriously, if I don't get any of that beer, I might freak out. Would like to try Doom, but I do like your thinking haha.
