Founder's Breakfast stout

Its seasonal. But I still see some floating around up here in NJ

 

Maybe better to post in the correct regional forum for NC.

In NYC and many parts of the country, despite FBS being a desirable seasonal, there is usually a decent chance of finding it year round if you go to the right place.

Perhaps call Chip and ask him if he has any in stock?

 

Not rare, just seasonal. Typically comes out in the fall I believe? You may be able to find some that's been sitting on the shelf for awhile now, I know I saw some the other day at a local shop but it's pretty scarce this time of year. If you find some though I'd say go for it, with it being a stout it should be juusttt fine.

 

Best of luck. I've been gifted a bottle of it twice and it's fantastic.

 

There's usually a lot of it around for ~9 months of the year. Just had one from last October and it's drinking fine. Full bodied and smooth as ever.

 

They got some: http://www.bruisin-ales.com/beer_f-l.php

 

Its distributed in VA as well, so you might also consider calling a few stores along your route. I have not seen it recently in NOVA.

My OBX week starts on Aug 16 and I usually stop at Chip's as I roll into town. BTW, Chip's is pretty decent. Certainly good enough that there is no need for me to cart my own beer down there.

 

I actually cracked a FBS the other day. poured it in my glass and as I was drinking it I noticed a big glob in the bottom of the glass. Is that normal if this beer has been sitting in my fridge too long?Kinda turned me off.Tasted fine though.

 

Sorry. Totally missed where you said Outer Banks.

 

Founder's Breakfast Stout is great, but I believe that in Maryland, you probably already have access to Terrapin's Wake & Bake, which I think is even better than FBS.

 

I'm hoping to get my hands on some next week, as I'll be visiting Flagstaff. Arizona, so I've seen, had Founder's distribution.

 

where in MD are you? Founders is available in DC, VA and PA... MD isn't big, one of those must be close.

just saw some b'fast stout last week in DC, i forget if it was at Rodman's or Magruders...

 

I've seen some 2013 FBS here in Charlotte recently, so I think your chances of finding some may be good.

 

There was a thread a while back someone started after seeing that in their glass...not too common but from what i gathered reading the thread its harmless...something with proteins or something like that

 

I like W&B a lot, but never heard anyone ever say it was better that FBS...guess everyone's taste is different
