    I have off today and wouldn't mind driving around a bit. Just wondering if anyone has seen KBS or weyerbacher riserva in north jersey yet?

    I've been waiting for a thread like this. The KBS has eluded me the past two years, I was hoping to get lucky this year, but so far its not looking good.

    Gary's in Wayne was supposed to get a shipment of KBS with their Hunterdon order at 10:30 this morning. Sadly, my girlfriend waited from 10-1 and there was no sign of a shipment coming. They have no lists and are only sporadically releasing bottles.

    Wine and Beverage Depot in Totowa was expecting a case today, but had 60 people on a list already.

    Unless anyone knows any other places that still have bottles, looks like I am out of luck again this year.....

    Can't help with KBS (what a sh*t show that is) but I saw Riserva at Hoboken Vine yesterday.

    Likewise on KBS. I bought Riserva at Heights Beer & Wine Emporium yesterday.

    I actually went to garys around 1 and thought I would at least see riserva or stone dayman ipa. But nothing was out yet.

    Supposedly Gary's got their shipment a little after 1 and it was gone pretty quickly.

    I kind feel like this isn't going to happen again this year. KBS will continue to be my unicorn.

    Lil Brothers in Flemington got KBS in today. 1 bottle per person and $14/bottle, which is ridiculous.

    Two years ago I just started calling liquor stores in the area and lucked out with a 4 pack from a liquor store in Montclair I never would have checked. Good luck with finding it.

    I went back to garys to get riserva and they were definetily sold out.

    Remember when they sold CBS for $100 a bottle?

    The problem for me is finding time to call all the little stores that I would never think of. Plus there are so many liquor stores around, I just don't know who would get shipments. It seems like mostly just the big places.

    Yeah I understand that. Hunterdon also put out a beer finder list for KBS two years ago that listed who was getting the beer.. I checked this year and they did not do the same thing.

    I've only read the stories on here

    That page will be updated probably next week with the stores that received it. The system is usually a little slow with new releases. By the time the page is updated I'm assuming most of the places will be sold out. Here's hoping though.

    They originally wanted $200, then lowered it to $100 but then sporadically changed it depending on if the person inquiring was male or female..

    Most North NJ places are reserving all their KBS ahead of time.. It really sucks now, I remember 3-4 years ago you could easily get one or two full 4 packs... But you still meet the one off person who somehow gets almost an entire personal case/gets numerous bottles of Canadian Breakfast, etc..

    That's appalling. I read about the $100 CBS and thought that was disgusting. I don't know what to think at $200

    If I end up with some bottles, I'll let you know. We could set up a trade or share

    Thanks for the offer, I really appreciate it. All I want is a bottle to taste, especially since bourbon stouts are my thing.

    I thought about Liquor Outlet, but after a long day of work, I figured I would get there and it would be gone. It wouldn't be a big deal if there was a whole day of availability, but it seems like most places are gone within an hour of getting it in. IE drive there and its gone already.
