    Anyone know if/when this should hit shelves? I checked Parti Pak and Crown on the south side and didn't find it.

    I NEED MY FOUNDERS RASPBERRY FIX! :slight_frown:


    btw, if anyone in the area has some Blushing Monk they care to part with, let me know. :open_mouth:

    I still haven't seen it and I checked a couple of good places on the west side... they hadn't even heard of it. Glad to see Cav reppin' Founders so well. :slight_frown:

    Wife will be down from MI next weekend. If it doesn't show up here by then, she's gonna need to make an emergency stop for me.

    I'll be in Michigan this weekend so if I can swing it I'm going to look for some.

    It showed up in Ohio this week, so hopefully that means it'll be hitting the surrounding areas soon. Just had my first one today and it is delicious.

    hope you get a chance. I'll have some by the end of next week at the latest. Would have been nice for the long weekend though.

    If you've had Blushing Monk, how does it compare?

    I agree. I've had blushing monk, so if I get this soon I'll let you know how it compares.

    I asked about it in 2 good places in Indy late last week and at the downtown Big Red in Bloomington today. Received quizzical looks each time. Frustrating seeing so many people around the country enjoying it for a couple weeks now and nothing yet for us.

    It's one thing that it hasn't shown up, but another issue entirely when good bottle shops aren't being told about it.

    I'll keep my opinion of cav to myself, but I'm going to guess its going to be at least another week before its in stores.

    I was told it was on a truck from Founders that should arrive this week. Due to the holiday, and assuming that the truck did indeed show up, you should see it on shelves next week.

    Picked some up today in michigan. Reminds me of blushing monk a fair amount. As its expected its lighter in body, but it's a fruit ale through and through... Not some wheat with a bit of fruit on the side. It's very sweet, but not quite cloying. I like it overall.

    Actually, I was mistaken, should be soon. Founders calls it a July through August seasonal.

    Got a bottle last night at Parti-Pak. Check again! They also had some Southern Tier there and RuinTen.

    They were selling by the bottle? Did they have any 4 packs?

    Believe they had 6 packs. Parti-Pak sells everything by the individual bottle lol. You just grab it out of the pack. But this is my first so I just grabbed one to try it.

    Per a cav tweet it'll be hitting stores this week. So either parti-pak got an early allotment or that rubaeus is actually cerise haha.

    Blushing Monk is an imperial Rubaeus, essentially.
