Founders Frootwood Sightings

Came and went at Drake's in Kalamazoo earlier this week. Indiana tends to be a bit behind in Michigan releases, so I'm guessing we may see some next week.

 

it almost tastes like a mediocre cherry mead. I bought one 4 pack and that was plenty.

 

Getting antsy for this, anyone hear of IL shops getting in this week?

 

I was able to pick some up in Cincinnati last week.

 

Seen it pop up at stores Novi, Wixom, Milford and Sterling Heights today. (all SE Michigan)

 

Was told from my Cavalier rep that it should hit Indy next week.

 

Any WI sightings yet? Looking forward to trying this one.

 

It's in Louisville

 

Sipping on my first one, its really tasty!

 

It dropped in Milwaukee on Monday.

 

Thanks. I'll keep an eye out here, in the NW corner of the State. Did you see it bombers, 4 packs or both?

 

Solely in 4 packs in the state of WI.

 

Still not here...anyone else? We had FIS finally show. Tomorrow is a big distro day here so hoping to see it. Preferably in 4 packs so that I can drink one forthwith on my own.

 

My buddy in Milwaukee has historically got the Founders limited release stuff (Backwoods, Backstage beers, etc) a week before us in Chicago. I'm guessing next week.

 

It came in at my distributor in PA yesterday.

 

Had this on tap. A little too sweet for me. I'm sure there will be fans, though.

 

I agree, not quite my cup of...ah beer.

Should be here in Northern Indiana this week I'm told by local bottle shop. Possible 1 4-pk limit and a few 750s available as well.

 

I was surprised how limited this was, at least the 12 Oz bottles. Most shops were a one bottle limit. I haven't even seen the 750ml bottles anywhere. If this is any indication of how limited the barrel aged series will be, CBS has the potential to be the largest whale hunt in the history of craft beer.
I thought Frootwood was ok, would be an amazing summer beer. Don't understand the logic or a January release.
