Brown Distributing broke the news in March that it would be bringing Michigan craft brewery Founders Brewing Co. to Florida in May.
That didn't stop Founders from sending out a news release today announcing that they were expanding into the Sunshine State.
This release answers the big question, "Which beers are coming here?" It looks like all of them:
"Floridians can expect to find Founders’ year-round and seasonal products, both in bottles and on draft, in the first shipment, which is expected to land in mid- to late May. Specialty releases will follow the brewery’s release schedule from there."
So this means we can also scramble to find a bottle of their heralded Kentucky Breakfast Stout.
Here's the complete release:
