Did anybody pick up Boulevard Bourbon Barrel Quad? I snagged one, but wish I had grabbed an extra so I could have one now and age the other.
Never had Founders Harvest Ale. Doesn't seem to be out my way in VA yet, so hope I can get some!

Currently drinking a Port Brewing Mongo IPA and paired it with a homemade pizza. Great stuff.

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.

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.

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!
