    Grabbed a bottle today... just wondering when it was released, who's had it, and other thoughts. Is this there first BW since '10 Nemesis?
    thank you...

    what? How? I have a ticket to the "release" but it isn't for another 2 weeks, what sort of back alley dealings are you involved in...and how do I become part of them

    Last I knew this was a ticketed release at the taproom with Nov. 11 being the first day to obtain it. So...?

    It wouldn't be the first time a Founder's beer was released by stores well ahead of when Founders wanted it on shelves. Founders seems to ship their really special release beers out days-weeks before the "release day." Some stores either don't get the memo of the release or just don't care. I remember it happened once with Nemesis like 3-4 weeks before the national release date and some Founders rep responded to it here.

    Distributors have had this beer for awhile now. Must be somebody decided to go ahead and start selling it before they were supposed to. I'm sure Founders wouldn't be too happy about it.

    Didn't this happen with CBH or one of the other Backstage Series releases?

    Thanks Mr. Obvious....but wanted to pin point the location for the report being sent to Founders. They are dropping allocations in the areas that release their beers earlier then their noted release dates. :wink:

    So, are we just going to act all shocked, or are we gonna get a description of the beer taste?

    Would you still be tattling if your local bottle shop had sold you a bottle?
