    Surprisingly $15 considering Mokka Munt was $7 for 12 oz bottle.

    It was delayed, apparently due to state approval but our distributor here is notoriously slow to market.

    Supposed to be out "towards the end of the month".

    8 Degrees Plato in Ferndale had it like 2 weeks ago. 1 bottle limit per customer.

    Anyone know the bottle count on Pam? Did they make far less of PP vs blushing monk and redankulous or is PP that much more sought after. The shops by me are still flooded with BM and redankulous yet project pam seems to be gone..

    Heard it is more limited due to it being Maple Bourbon Barrel Aged, and the lack of those barrels in mass quantity. It's delicious though, that I do know.

    I can't be the only one who keeps checking this for the next backstage..

    Nonetheless! I'm sure P.P. Is still for sale at Founders, I'd give then a call to be sure. I ache for those that want this, and can't get it. We still have some left from our lonely case that we recieved. Founders BS's are often turds in west Michigan, shockingly.

    The only one hanging around on the east side of the state that I see is blushing monk. Still see some Redankulous but not much. Project Pam is all being sold as an allocated beer. I got two bottles, but some buddies are looking for some and its gone.

    Pam distro was more on the level of Better Half/Sweet Repute, as opposed to the more recent non BA backstage beers.

    Founders is hands down my favorite brewery, but this announcement was whack. Mango Mag was a shelf turd in my area the first time, and that was a lower volume run than this one is likely to be. Feels a lot like Hollywood remaking movies...lazy and uncreative. I'm cool with re-releasing beers, but maybe start a new line with new branding, like the "Founders Classic Series," rather than the "Backstage Series." I've always respected the Backstage because it focused on the new and innovative, not the old and innovative.
    Rant over. Cheers!

    But no one would bitch if it was CBS. I personally like the mango magnifico.

    Disagree about the CBS comment, I would still think it doesn't fit within the heart of the Backstage series to rerelease any of them. Granted, CBS is a better beer, but still belongs in a "Classic Series" IMO
