Founders 2016 Release Calendar

Hope one of those TBA's is Dark Penance.

 

I liked Redankulous, happy to see it get some love and a format change.

 

Seasonal TBA is same time frame but why the hell shroud it in mystery? They still plan on releasing it, right??? Right??? RIGHT!?!?!??!?!?! Now I'm worried.....Dark Penance is awesome...

 

I see nothing but positives.

 

Really excited to see Redankulous make the jump to a four pack format!

 

Maybe Redankulous won't be a total shelf turd in a 4-pack format? Because I still see it all over the place now, sitting warm on shelves. Kind of a shame.

 

Same here. I almost bought one till I read up on when it was originally brewed. That was back around Halloween time, and those same bottles are still sitting on the shelves.

 

I'm a little sad to see Double Trouble absent, but I think I can get over it with six months of Mosaic Promise. Also pretty excited to try Azacca IPA.

Now for rampant speculation on the two TBAs--I suspect that Dark Penance won't be one of them, since it really makes no sense to keep it a secret if that's the plan.

 

Would they list CBS? So sad...

 

I'm really crossing my fingers one of this TBA's is the 10k. One of the better IIPA's I had this year.

 

ReDankulous is the best hoppy beer I've had from Founders, glad to see it coming back. It would be cool to see a Berliner or Gose as that May/June specialty, would love to mix some Rubaeus in one of those styles.

 

Love it. Mosaic Promise is going to be my go-to beer this summer. Founders teased me by releasing a fresh batch of it (in Michigan anyway) back in October, which only reaffirmed my love for that beer. Hoping for a 12 pack of cans!

I guess the rumors of Pale Ale's demise were false. This is their only year-round I don't regularly buy, but it must sell enough to keep it that way.

Can't wait for Azacca, TBAs, and 4 months of Breakfast Stout!

 

Thoughts:
1. Surprised Rubaeus is year-round now. Always enjoyed that as a great summer release. Gonna be weird seeing it on shelves in December.
2. Also surprised by the swap for Double Trouble with ReDankulous. I personally dig it, since I was never a huge Double Trouble fan, but I know a lot of people that will be bummed by this.
3. Can't wait to see what the two new TBA's are! Glad to see Founder's being more aggressive with releasing new bottled beers every year. Certainly not on the level of Short's with their variety, but they're better than most in the state of MI.

 

I totally missed that. I wouldn't mind if it replaces Dark Penance in that possible TBD slot, but I guess I'll reserve judgement until we know what actually will be there.

 

Any word on what's planned for their backstage series?

 

I'm surprised they're still releasing Devil Dancer. It just sits on shelves around here year round until next years batch rolls around. I'm fairly positive I could find a 2013 batch if I checked some bottle dates.

So long as they burn the recipe for Spectra Trifecta, I don't see too much to complain about here. I'm definitely digging the idea of Redankulous in a 4-pack. I liked it, but not enough to polish off an entire bomber.

 

I was under the impression Mosaic and Azacca were replacing pale ale but I guess not.
