    Just tried a bottle of this and I really enjoyed it. Not something I would normally drink. How hard is this to find in the Fall? I'm in NC.

    It's fairly difficult to come by

    I've never seen it in stores, but my favorite bar actually sells it (year-round, oddly enough) in bottles.

    Depends where you live. This is my favorite Founders beer. Cases are available here in Philly. But don't really know what distro is like in NC for Founders.

    I think it goes sorta fast at places like TW or my go-to bottle shop. But I saw it hanging around in places like World Market for months. It came out in November I think, and I know they still had it in February.

    You probably won't see it until mid-November, Thanksgiving-ish.
    I'm sure there are people on the site you can arrange a trade with if you want it that bad.

    Totally depends on your location. I was picking up 4 packs at my local gas station and they had cases and cases into December at my bottle shop here in Cincinnati.

    Happy to set up a trade at that time if you don't have any luck in NC.

    In 2013 I was able to find one 4 pack. In 2014 I saw tons of it. Same has been true to lots of Founders seasonals. Have they upped production massively or upped distro to Chicago only I wonder.

    Pro Tip. Call Chris @ Peabody's in Boone. Chances are good he has some still and would be willing to ship it to.

    You shouldn't have a problem landing a four pack this fall. It was all around.

    Makes me not want to leave this place. It sat around forever here.

    You have to be pretty on the spot to get it in the Durham area. Last fall, it sold out in just a couple of hours.

    I know I've seen it around (late fall of last year), but can't for the life of me tell you where. Just check around, it's always the oddest locations I find hidden gems!

    It just landed in NC. Should be available at your local spot this week.

    At least they're making it convenient to pick up Harvest Ale and BB on the same day...?
