Founders Centennial in cans early 2014

No matter what can comes out, people want something else canned. It does equal.

 

I'm happy to see everyone getting over that initial can vs bottle war. Can jam allllll daaaaay! Centennial should be in the greater philly area this week! Stoked.

 

In Charlotte now--sweet.

Now if Bell's would just can Two Hearted.......

Fall fishing line up (so far)
Canned Centennial, Sculpin, Terrapin Recreation, Two Hearted

Life is good!

 

Two Hearted and Oberon are getting canned this Spring. It will be an amazing summer for boating, tubing and canoeing.

 

Don't forget golfing!

I'm looking forward to knocking back a few Centennials on the course that's for sure!

 

12 packs of canned Centennial is here in Minnesota. Grabbed one on Saturday!

 

picked some up last week, $18 for a 12 pack, looking forward to having some of these on the beach this summer

 

$15.99 for a 12-pack cans at Woodman's in Wisconsin

 

Yes. Centennial for me, All Day for my wife.

 

In the soon to be 15 pack.

 

Slightly more expensive than all day. The All Day 15pk will have identical wholesale pricing to the current 12pk. $18.99 at my store for All Day and we are admittedly a little higher than suburban stores and your "discount" liquor stores so pricing is going to be insanely good all over NJ.

 

These just showed up in my neck of the woods. 34$ a case but it appears all the canned on dates on the cases had been wiped off and were unreadable. Which is a damn shame, I was in the market for one the fact that the dates had been compromised and they were giving away free founders glasses with every case seemed shady.

 

FWIW, I just picked up a 15 pack of All Day that had the date smudged off on one side of the box, but I went for it anyway, since anything in that format is going to still be super fresh at this point. I realized later that the date was stamped clearly on the other side of the box as well and it was canned 4/9.

I'm not sure if Centennial is the same way with regard to having 2 places on the box for a date stamp, but it might be worth checking into - I think Founders has definitely had some issues with regard to date stamping with their cans so far, and it's not necessarily that the store or distributor is doing something shady.

 

I hope you are right. I looked high and low through about 6 cases(12 twelve packs) and noted the white box on every one was messed up.

I question the freshness of any founders product these days.. last year double trouble showed up around this time of year bottled in February, I used to get breakfast stout cases a week or two after they were bottled but they seem to take two months to show up nowadays.

 

We had kind of a similar situation with Double Trouble in NY - although I think maybe we got our initial allotment of it in May and it was bottled in late April? Something like that - it was very fresh and one of my favorite DIPAs, and it sold through very quickly.

Later on, we got a HUGE second batch of it that was widely available - the only problem was, it was bottled in May and we didn't receive it until August! By then, the beer was not what it was and if you still look around, you can find it here and there. I'm not sure who dropped the ball and sat on it for 3 months before getting it into stores, but it was pretty upsetting that most people who probably tried it were unimpressed and didn't come back for more because of the freshness issue.

I'm predicting a repeat of this for All Day around here too. A local supermarket just put out something like 10 cases of bottles from December. Sure, it's not as volatile as something like Double Trouble, but if you've got the same thing cheaper and canned 2 weeks ago sitting next to it, those bottles are going to be sitting around for a long time.

 

Preferably one that does not use Centennial Hops.

 

I've purchased four 12 packs in the last couple months and the beer has tasted very fresh! Big fan of Founders and Centennial!

 

I just picked up a 15 pack of All Day from my local supermarket for $16.99 canned on 04/09/14. I can see myself drinking a lot of these over the summer if they keep getting it that fresh at that price point. Hoping they'll be offering Centennial cans soon too.

 

I finally saw a 12 pk in the my local TW and the packaged date was 2/21/14. I was extremely disappointed! I'm sure it would taste fine, but I'd prefer to try that experiment on my own.

 

Founders needs to go nuclear and wipe out all the old beer sitting in warehouses and start fresh. I figured that would be about the date I would find on the cans if had I busted open a 12 pack.
