Founders relabels Breakfast Stout

I don't think the other states that Founders distributes in were going to start a grassroots campaign to get New Hampshire's wacky law changed. Just doesn't seem like a good use of resources.

 

The new label is for Michigan only

 

OK, so that is weird if they don't even have such a law.

 

they don't need "such a law" to change a label

 

True, but the way they phrased it made it seem like it was a reaction to a law, no?

 

Where I used to work I heard a few people complain about a baby on the label, I never thought it would get this far....I thought they were complaining because they were in the south too

 

absolutely but it could also just be pressure from local groups. Idk

 

BABY COME BACK! YOU CAN BLAME IT ALL ON ME!

 

There were more than a few humorous posts in this thread, but this one actually made me laugh out loud.

I hope the label change only applies to Michigan.

 

this reminds me of Dave Chapelle and the baby lol

 

All I know is, if Founders is looking for a new baby, my granddaughter wants the job!!!!

(BA ALERT: No babies were given FBS before, during or after this photo was taken. Thank you.)

 

There's still plenty of the 2014 on the shelves in NY, baby and all.

 

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

 

Backstage beers have all been released at 10.99 here in Nebraska. Are they really $20 up there?!?

 

Blushing Monk is $16.99. Dissenter was $16.99, Big Luscious was $16.99....
The thing that pisses me most off about Founders is that while I work 10 minutes away from the brewery, they ship their cases months after they have been bottled. Last week I got a "fresh" case of Centennial that was bottled in May. They can't even send fresh product to the market that made them. We got Devil Dancer a few weeks ago and the same thing, it was bottled in May, sat on at the distributor for a month and a half, then sent out. When you can't get fresh product out to your home market, yet I can get Stone that was bottled a week prior to getting it, something is wrong.

 

While I do find it ridiculous, 'fucking horrible' is usually reserved for car crashes and natural disasters. The beer is still the same amazing product.

 

Where do you see that information? My reading of the COLA information doesn't reveal any specific state usage.

 

I asked Founders. The horses mouth is much quicker and accurate than a bunch of bs conjecture on a beer forum. I still don't know why Michigan's label is changing? Send them an email

 

Is it a ridiculous, out-dated law? Yes. Will it change my perception of FBS? Nope. The over-reaction by some to Founders changing the label is interesting to me. The outrage shouldn't be leveled at Founders, but the over-reaching, over-regulating dumbasses in government.
