'11 Founders Breakfast Stout available in South Bend

If you enjoy Founders Breakfast Stout (Imperial Stout, 8.3%) as much as I do, you'll be pleased to hear it's available in the South Bend area now. This isn't a super rare beer, although it is seasonal. I recommend picking up two 4-packs or more (roughly $10 each) and drink half now, then age the rest. As a source of inspiration for this post, I decided to enjoy a bottle from '08.

A description of the beer from the Founders website...

"The coffee lover's consummate beer. Brewed with an abundance of flaked oats, bitter and imported chocolates, and Sumatra and Kona coffee, this stout has an intense fresh roasted java nose topped with a frothy, cinnamon-colored head that goes forever."

This is one of the beers that was the catalyst for my love affair with stouts.

Check out Citywide on Jefferson Ave in South Bend; they received about 5 cases.
