    Any other rumblings on if this is it?

    Nothing official, but it is indeed it. We'll have to wait a bit longer for MBS, but this should be quite good.

    Has anyone seen Project PAM in Chicagoland yet? I've been keeping an eye out for it and haven't seen it.

    I have been wondering the same thing.

    I saw one shop in the city tweet out a picture of it. I honestly can't remember which one, though.

    How many bottles? Any chance it lasts in the merch store until the week of Xmas?

    I went ahead and drank mine tonight based on what I have read about it.. And got what I expected. My least favorite founders brew to date. I love Aba's and appreciate barrel (although it is terribly played out) but together, it's just a mess.. A 3/5 would be a stretch for my personal tastes.

    Many stores in the Grand Rapids area still have bottles. I expect it to be around awhile as it is a decent, not great beer. With the addition of Ballast Point and Prairie to the GR market, I have a feeling this will allow beers like this to sit around longer. For example, I bought two Prairie bombs yesterday instead of PP.

    I've seen several stores in the Madison, WI area that have Project PAM on the shelf or in the cooler.

    It has a nice maple flavor, but the bourbon is subtle and I think it's a stretch at calling it an IPA. Imo, better than some of the previous backstage bottles, but not really worth driving around town to find. I'd imagine it will be pretty widely on tap.

    Still haven't found it in SE Mi besides on tap. I'd like a bottle to cellar.

    Where abouts in SE Michigan are you? There are a few shops by me that have it.

    If you're in the Milford area. Pineridge Market had a few cases as of a few days ago. Not sure on the cost.
