    One word: amen! I can't wait to my hands on their stouts.

    Never mind, thread title should read Northern California and Nevada.

    Corti for sure (first hand from their beer buyer), and I'd guess DBS. Beyond that probably Whole Foods, and ...

    I think it would be asking a bit much to expect a full list of the possibly hundreds of stores that will be carrying Founders between the two states at this point. Fear not, however since they will eventually be findable here: http://foundersbrewing.com/find-our-beer/

    Considering it's their year rounds, probably whichever ones want to carry it. Maybe a bit of a delay if there's tons of demand from retailers (with the higher volume/profile places getting them first), but I doubt for long. If you have a bottle shop you're friendly with, you should go in and ask; that'll give you a good answer while also showing them that they have a definite sale.

    All whole foods in the Bay Area will have stacks of founders come November.

    The distributor's website shows they distribute Sierra Nevada and Firestone Walker. Could be fair to say wherever you find these two brands, you'll find Founders. Could be wrong, though.

    i'd keep an eye out @ K&L. it would not surprise me if they reverse what appears to happen up here. they're the only seller i know of you can regularly get specific beers up here that are only distributed in the Southern/Central portion of the state. if you're lucky, they'll transfer some of the Founders they're able to score up here to their LA location.

    They definitely will. K & L is so great. Are there any beer store sites that are just as good as them? I don't think so.

    They're also opening a new superstore in SoMa and I got confirmation that it will not have the restrictions on the beer selection like the existing store there. In fact, I was informed it will have a "HUGE" beer selection. Stoked!
