    Asking around is key. I was lucky enough to be at a shop yesterday (Bloomington), asked about it, and they said it just arrived. They asked how many I want, I just took a 4 pack to leave more for everyone else :slight_smile:

    One of my stores was selling it as singles. Really? I'm seeing people with cases and they're selling singles? Probably just trying to charge more per bottle

    I saw a store selling singles of Founders Harvest - limit 1 per, despite every other store in town who got it selling it in 4 packs (and it sat on the shelf for a few weeks in 4 packs). smh

    I can always count on Kahns (@aasher ) to do it right.

    Just an FYI there was a pretty massive increase in costs this year, around $15 a case. I don't want anyone to think that I'm price gouging, because those bastards are the worst.

    Kahns got six cases, twice what we got last year.

    What's the price point on a 4pack this year? $16/4 pack?

    Some 21st Amendment locations had 4 packs on the shelves yesterday. I saw some on Wednesday as well. As noted, Kahns got theirs today. @aasher Thanks for clarifying the price increase, I was wondering why it was a bit steeper this year.

    No offense Al but glad I went to Whole Foods. They were selling them for $13.99. Maybe they didn't have the updated price in the system! They were limiting them to 1 to start but they let me have 2. They got in 5 cases this year.

    Yeah someone else told me that they got them for $11.99 because the store had them as Founders seasonal....

    Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if they have/had them marked up once they put them on the shelves. Mine were fresh off the delivery truck. I bet they hadn't adjusted the system from last year yet checking them in or something. I'll take it though!

    What is best for aging these? 6 months? 1 year? I had one last night and like I find with many BA beers it was still very bourbon forward masking the overall beer. Not a complaint per se but hard to get the overall character and rate the beer. With that said it was still very smooth and tasty

    Wish I would have seen this before I came down from Chicago, would have brought a few cases down. Some places had a 2 case limit haha, I only bought one 4 pack with all the beer I drink, don't know if 2 cases is necessary but I saw plenty of it.
