    Easy purchase. Already traded mine for a BVDL, or was it a sixer of Nugget Nectar

    Bought my bottle and planning for pickup, maybe getting another bottle if available, and also getting my growler on Friday.

    Very easy purchase and a great price.

    Anyone know if the next founder growler fill is only for the two days they have listed on the website? Hopefully not.....

    Twitter feed says that Wise Guise will be the founder fill for this weekend. I don't think there is any further info, but I am guessing that they will have a different one on next weekend given it is beer week.

    Just ordered my bottle - I'll be stopping by for the first time on Saturday after the DIPA fest, can't wait! Hopefully the crowd is manageable.

    They are only open those two days.

    So they may have SKUs Me bottles available to the general public on Saturday?

    According to the email, they believe so
    We expect to have a small amount of bottles that aren't sold online to Founders tomorrow, and those will be available for purchase by anyone in the Tasting Room this Saturday at 2PM, with a limit of 1 bottle per person

    I understand that, more curious if they will take that keg off founder fill after that weekend as opposed to keeping it on each weekend until drained.

    Bottles will not be available for pickup until Saturday.

    That blows, but thanks for pointing it out. I see it in the email now. Why wouldn't they make them available on both days they are open this week?

    It's been a different one each weekend since they started filling, hasn't it?* Maybe they'll continue that trend to not have too much of a run on a any single beer.

    edit: * BTW, I'm asking/confirming, not trying to be snarky

    I thought SKUs Me was on more than one weekend. I'm not a local though and could be wrong.

    It has been different each weekend, Shadows of Their Eyes, Proportional Response and then SKU's Me - Wise Guise appears to be up for this weekend

    From their Facebook

    SKUs Me bottles (blend #001) are available for sale in the Tasting Room this Saturday at 2PM!

    We only have about 200 bottles available, so they will be available on a first come first serve basis with a limit of 1 per person per day. Each 750mL bottle is $20.

    It might rain, so we will open up the brewery early and let people wait inside and stay dry if you decide to come early

    No one has talked about this beer in three days, I can feel the trade value dropping. I may just have to drink it, imagine the horror.

    I had a growler of it this last week. Even after being in the mail for a few days it was pretty darn tasty. I'll be drinking my bottle for sure.

    Just letting you guys know, I left about an hour ago and they still had 20-30 bottles.

    Bottles sold out when I stopped by around 5PM to try Batch #1. Got my two earlier in the afternoon after maybe a 40 minute wait in line (one Founders, and bought an extra).

    Definitely going to trade one, debating what I want to do with the other, as it's on tap every weekend.

    They told me recently that it will be "months" until growlers are available to the public.
