    Thought I would give a big welcome to Founders. Good to have you in the country.

    Very nice of you to send out some FBS to this part of the world. Now I no longer have to get gouged in price by brewers here for a solid stout. See Holgate and a few others.

    PS---- Send your RIS as soon as possible. Please

    Very good to see. Impressed with the range of 6 that they are starting off with. Pricing seems sharp and hopefully they are in good condition. Only had FBS and All Day previously and looking forward to drinking more.

    This batch sat around much longer then it needed too due to wrong labels, but hopefully it was kept refrigerated.

    Platinum were due to get Founders this week at Bellevue Hill only (due to the North Strathfield renovations).

    None at Oak Barrel or Beer Cartel yet to my knowledge. Reviews for All Day ipa haven't been great.

    Nearly 8 weeks in Oz alone. so take into account the journey, 14 weeks... It's not tasting fresh. It's not tasting bad, but the hops have died on the Centennial dramatically.

    I noticed the use by date on the Dry Hopped Pale Ale at the IBS was Oct/Nov 2013 or something like that. So a fair way from fresh. Although most other bottles the use-by date was rubbed off/unreadable (weird). Picked up a Dirty Bastard to try tonight. That should have held up well.

    Breakfast Stout should be fine, and that is all I care about at the moment. Centennials were tasting fine, but the hops were dying off.

    The Dirty Bastard was sensational. Not sure how fresh it actually was but no oxidation was noted.

    Breakfast is amazing. Double Trouble was pretty tasty too!

    Breakfast, All Day and Centennial all seemed to be missing best before dates!

    did some dickheads rub them off or something? I thought this shipment was straight from Founders?
