Founders in CA?

We getting the full library of beers? Including the limited/one offs? Or they gonna pull a Perennial and do a one time drop off of 2 average beers, and never return?

Love me one Backwoods!

 

Awww man, you mean I have to interact with you "nor-calians" even more? Hehehe =P

 

Sounds like it! We finally got something first, we may not know how to handle it...

He said that they plan on bringing everything.

 

Surprised with the lack of excitement for Imperial Stout on this tread. Eh, I guess there's no adjuncts and it's not Barrel Aged, so why get excited right?

 

That's our country and craft beer right now.

 

Here's their official announcement.......

We are beyond excited to announce that we’re bringing our beers to the West Coast! We will start distributing in Northern California and Nevada starting in October 2015.



“We’re thrilled to continue to expand our distribution in the West where there is such appreciation for craft beer.” said Co-Founder & CEO Mike Stevens. “Northern California and Nevada are hubs for beer enthusiasts and we’re excited to add Founders to their list of choices. We think West Coast beer drinkers’ choices just got a lot harder.”

The following distributors will represent Founders in their respective markets.

Northern California:

• Matagrano Inc. in San Francisco and San Mateo counties
• Markstein Beverage Co. of Sacramento in greater Sacramento and all surrounding counties
• Delta Sierra Beverage LLC Modesto in greater Modesto and all surrounding counties
• Eagle Distributing Co. in Marin, Sonoma, Lake and Mendocino counties
• V. Santoni and Co. in Woodland and Davis
• DelReka Distributing in Del Norte and Humboldt
• Sequoia Beverage Co. in Kings and Tulare counties
• Elyxir Distributing, LLC in Santa Cruz, San Benito and Monterrey counties

We will offer all of our year-round and seasonal beers in bottles, cans (as applicable) and kegs throughout each state. There may also be some limited releases available at select craft beer retailers following the launch—stay tuned to our events page and Twitter handle for launch event information.

 

I would have been excited 3 years ago. Now it's a pretty hearty meh...

 

Dirty Bastard will be somewhat interesting to have around. Otherwise, I agree. *If* we get our hands on those barrel aged beers I may raise an eyebrow, but somehow I think it will be just as bad if not worse than trying to find Parabola when it hits.

 

Looks like its coming soon. There are several bars in the Northern California area that just announced Founders release parties!

 

Where did you see release events?

 

Ale Arsenal and Harry's Hof in San Jose both announced on their Facebook pages.

 

Care to elaborate why its meh? Don't think there's a lot of readily available imperial Stouts in a 4 pack 12 oz format for $10 that are better. But hey I'd love to be educated

 

All your Backwoods are belong to me.

 

I like Old Rasputin.

edit: Or does that not count because it's usually priced for $8 or $9?

 

Harry's Hof in Redwood City is on the same day as Ale Arsenal. I guess it makes sense for their reps, since it would be easy to get between the two places. Maybe I'll take the afternoon off and go to both. Yeah, that's the ticket!

You say that is if it will be easy for us to find. The fact that it is BA barleywine makes me a little more optimistic than finding the KBS and its cousins, but still...

 

Looks like we are 1 county away from getting Founders. Will have to make the trip to Visalia to get my Backwoods Bastard.

 

Parabola might go quickly but it's pretty much everywhere. I would guess the barrel aged stuff from Founders will be very spread out.

 

BA WeeHeavy, Bro. It'll def last on the shelves for at LEAST a few hours. Non one truck chases the WeeHeavy.

 

One is a lot...
