Founders 2016 Release Calendar

Wish Mosaic Promise made CA in a packaged format!

 

?? it has...sixers all over the peninsula/south bay at least

 

Will that Sumatra brown be available nation wide?

 

Wow--

Based on the Azacca and Mosaic--dump the regular pale ale--that ship has sailed.

Keep DT--just make a little and more BB!

Come on MAN!!

 

Will keep looking, thx.

 

Always enjoy my Founders. I'm excited to get some of these later spring and summer releases!

 

Tonight I did a side by side of Dark Horse Double Crooked Tree and Founder's Devil Dancer. I thought this would be fun with both at 12% ABV. I have my work cut out for me if I am to finish them both. The DCT was bottled in December and the DD in May. The DCT is far superior to the DD, in my opinion. DCT is more balanced. While both are full of flavor and mouth feel, DD is just too boozy. Maybe the next test should be to let them both age for a year or two.

 

I haven't purchased any 2016 Devil Dancer yet. I think it's overpriced and usually just buy a couple of singles. One thing I noticed last year is just how much it changes as it ages. By the end of the summer, it's more like a barleywine than an IPA.

 

Cases of 2014 still sitting here for $125...

 

Not sure why it's the same price as KBS.

 

They must just put an extreme amount of hops into the beer. It doesn't really add anything to the beer to me... I think it's just there to be extreme.

Edit. It's actually less than KBS in some places. I found 4 packs of KBS at Wegmans for 19.99. I was elated.

 

Pretty excited for ReDANKulous 4 packs next month.......

 

Any word/rumor on what the Seasonal Oct-Dec brew will be?

 

Hoping for Spike Cutless......or better yet Bolt Cutter.

 

They are already out...and it is fantastic.

 

I read this recently (http://www.guysdrinkingbeer.com/founders-devil-dancer) and the TL;DR is the hops hang on like a champ and it gets better with age. I don't know about $125/case, but if I saw an old box in a clearance section I'd take a swing at it.

Also, Redankulous landed here in Texas today, so thats happening

 

Thanks for the heads up, found some Redankulous by me, and it's another terrific brew added to the Founders arsenal. Delicious!

 

Any word or idea on the next Backstage release? Kind of disappointed in Magnifico. I've heard potentially barrel-aged Sumatra...

 

MM was just OK, the thing I hated was I only wanted 5-6 oz and having a bomber to finish solo was a struggle.
BA Sumatra sounds terrific!

 

Just picked up a fresh Redank, bottled 6/2 I believe. Excited to give a try
