    Starts at $12 for a 12.5oz. tulip. Got down to $10.25 before the market crashed. I got it for $6.25 on a crash tonight.

    Will there be a one hug per person limit? I better call and get on the list.

    People are already lining up outside Castle Vav and they have yet to post the limit on number of hugs per customer. No list.

    How many of those 135 are kegs of green Miller Lite, and how many are Guinness/Harp/Smithwicks/other Irish beers? My guess is a strong lean to the one who has the terrible "Chi-Rish" advertising campaign again this year.

    I remember during the CBS release the Naperville Binnys finally broke down and put up a sign saying they were out.

    I remember that sign, showed up at around 10 a.m., think it was a Thursday, did that store even get any?

    This was worse than CBS for me.

    The store that I called earlier seemed pissed when I called and asked - I can only imagine how many calls he was getting.

    What happened?

    Why the hell are people going so crazy for this beer? Sure, it's great but is it THAT much better than CW BB Stout? Which is on every single shelf at every single Binnys? KBS is better but not enough to justify what is going on out there. I'm proud to say I missed out on KBS 2012 because it means I didn't have to sacrifice my dignity for a beer.

    Oh you know, the usual...being deigned a sexist because i denied a couple 2 bottles, e.g. one per household in an effort to spread the beer around as much as possible.

    And i have no clue. It's just beer.

    Ha, wow. I missed out today, but it always made me smh when I would see guys drag there girlfriend/wife to wait in line at your store so they can grab 2 bottles. I commend you for shutting it down. Any talk of a Binnys-wide policy for these type of releases so your store doesn't get hammered? Maybe tie the one bottle limit to the patron's Binnys card?

    I have to attest that I didn't even bother trying this year, and I am much happier for it. I would love to have some, but it's really not worth the effort. It was easier to get Bourbon County this year, which is a better example of a similar style. If they really do distribute three times as much (although with wider distribution...) I will try to grab 4 in '13, as long as I do not have to deal with the horseshit.
