Founders Bolt Cutter? Thoughts?

Raymo's in Michigan. We never get Founders early. We barely get it at all

 

What Steimie said. Less allocation in your state = more allocation in mine!

 

You got it for $20. They're selling it for $23 at the release. That's crazy.

 

So, did your inbox explode?

 

Gotta call BS without a pic to prove it. "Didn't realize what I'd stumbled upon" from a two year member and hundreds of reviews...

 

and he didn't have to pay $5 for a ticket to be able to buy it.

 

It's my understanding, from a thread I read on BA recently, that brewers often sell bottles for more than what you find it in bottle shops so that they don't undercut their retailers.

 

I don't really mind the $5 since they are donating that money. I just don't understand why a liquor store is able to sell it for less then the brewery.

 

But Founders has never done that. The KBS release was way less then what they where going for at the bottle shops.

 

Because maybe the brewery is selling at a mark-up?

 

My question is: does anyone know if this is going to be distributed to Wisconsin?

 

It should Wisconsin has gotten all the other Backstage Releases.

 

Are you from the future?

 

The real shock here is that Founders still bothers with release dates anymore. What's the point? They are essentially meaningless. It's not like the beer is ever really available to everyone at the same time. Someone will always sell it early and most of us won't get it until days/weeks after the so-called "release date."

 

Agreed. Pic or it didn't happen....

 

As Raymo knows, I have had this already. It was over a month ago and it was sort of hot then but very good. I like starting the hype train.

 

it is. distributers already have them... have for at least a week now

 

Boo, not fair. I live 5 minutes away from Founders and I won't be getting my bottles until the 14th.

 

Nice thing about going to get my Bolt Cutter bottles is I'll be drinking it all day Saturday at the party!
