Founders Harvest Ale is a huge disappointment this year - ABV is up and hops have been dialed back, at least to my palate

And extremely overpriced, MacGruder's and Rodman's seem to have bumped the cost of a four pack up by at least $4 to $5.
and speaking of overpriced have folks seen the prices on those new Goose Island wild ales??!! Gillian is $30+

i am gay and i like cats

nothing better than breweries who believe in once a year bullshit . . . and then fuck up that bullshit

Move to Fairfax County.

$9.99/four pack and lower sales tax at Total Wine.

$28.99 plus lower sales tax at Total Wine.

Still way more than I'm paying for a bottle of beer.

Lower prices was one of the reasons I switched from wine to beer in the first place.

What I mean is I can get a world class bottle of beer for $10 a bomber or less, but $10 only buys me a cheapish bottle of wine.

I just think that's the store being pricks, has nothing to do with the county. That's roughly what the prices were last year.

Founders Breakfast Stout is $9.99/four pack at my Springfield, VA Whole Foods.

It was $13.99/four pack at the Foggy Bottom Whole Foods when I checked.

Just wait until it hits Maryland...I bet you could pick it up for over $20.00!

I still haven't seen Founders anywhere in MD. Has it officially started selling in MD yet?

I also picked up a bomber of that Dogfish Head's American Beauty...

Founders expansion to Maryland was supposedly halted due to the government shutdown...So I assume that means it is now imminent.

If the government is who is holding them up, your assumption is probably wrong!
