This is my first post and its because I wanted to make sure you knew why those 4-packs of Founders differed.. those two with similar packaging are in the packaging format that is only 1.5-2.5 yrs old. That Curmudgeon is in the old style packaging, and should have aged VERY well! consider yourself lucky. I would easily trade a 4-pack of the current stuff(which I LOVE) for 2 bottles of those!(since I turned 21 in May and I like to try aged beers.. but havn't been able to freely buy until recently!) I found Founders Pale Ale in a 6-pack old packaging at CVS here in East Lansing and got one... the other was gone when I went back but I'll bet the distributor took it back or something. That beer was fantastic, and generally Pale Ales aren't renowned for aging!
Sorry for the ramble. I am from the Grand Rapids area and I will say that they do a Maple Bourbon Barrel aged old ale which is a favorite of many and absolutely fantastic. Black Biscuit. They JUST ran out the other day. Anyways, enjoy the Curmudgeon and other beers in your haul!
