Who's getting their KBS today?!?

Went to 4 stores yesterday and got 2 bottles. Went back out today to 4 more stores and the manager on duty in one of them found one 4 pack in the back. May have been reserved for someone but I took it home.

 

Hopefully can snag a bottle or two tomorrow

 

I got the last 4 pack in the metro area to my knowledge. Called around and everyone was sold out except the last store i called. I sneaked out of work to go get it since they were going to hold it for me for an hour. Super pumped to try it. it will be my first KBS experience!

 

I love stouts and have been shut out on KBS the last two years, so I was determined to get some this year and have been asking for weeks and only getting vague handwaving answers. I was in the area of two stores I thought I might get some today. I got one bottle at the first, for the shocking price of $12. I knew it was too much, but at least this year I'd get to try it. The second store also had a one bottle limit but were selling it at close to MSRP, $5.75.

I really hope the beer manager at the first store enjoys spending that awesome $6 extra he got for doubling the MSRP on the one bottle he sold me. i didn't have to pay that price, of course, but I did. Now I'm going to do my best to cost his store at least a few hundred dollars in sales to make up for it. This place was convenient to the gym where I go a couple times a week and i was in there buying all the time, but the place that didn't feel it was necessary to turn the screws is just a little farther up the road and the selection is pretty much the same.

 

Got 8 on Monday in Grand Rapids, four today in Battle Creek (horrocks). There's more to be had in west michigan if you're persistent. I'm done...

Good luck folks,

 

Got 2 4pks at different stores this morning. Next two days I'm on lists. Hoping for one more to include as extras in trade for people who couldn't get it

 

Got 2 bottles for 6.29 a piece in Champaign, IL. First time trying the stuff, glad I was able to snag a couple bottles.

 

KBS Draft Release in Grand Rapids, MI tonight at 8pm. Rockwells Republic.

 

If they told you they got 3 four packs they lied to you.

 

Got two bottles today—$6.99 apiece, 3 bottle limit at one of my go-to shops. I got a third, but gave it to a friend who I thought would really like it. Looking forward to trying it now, and am okay with the price for the first time, anyway.

 

Struck out in Bloomington, IL today but had a friend pick me up some at Binny's in Champaign, IL for $6.29 a piece. 2 bottle limit.

 

I'm done hunting. I went over my limit in Lakewood/cleveland. Good luck all.

 

Depending on how my Thursday and Friday go, I'll be sitting on enough to trade a couple. Send me a message if you want to set up a local trade. Maybe we have some brews outside of Ohio by chance? I live in NE Ohio and it sounds like you do to. Meep Meep :] Cheers.

 

Got my first 4 Pack of the stuff today. $20...

 

Lets see im in a raffle at one store, good luck with that for a bottle. The other store i have to get in line at 8 am to get a bottle ,thats not happening unless i call in sick and get fired and several other stores that have a variety of ways to get a bottle which i dont have the time and patients for. Im goin to throw a shot a bourbon in some breakfast stout and turn on my beloved Tigers and forget all about KBS for now. Oh hey Founders i live in frickin Michigan you think i would be able to get some . Oh well im happy somebody in ohio can get KBS and i cant. aaaaaaaarrrrrgggghhhh

 

I know you're venting but you do have chances to. Its not like the beer isn't there. I feel your pain as I've missed beers due to work before but its not Founders fault...

I saw people leaving the brewery with cases.... no other state gets cases to buy..

 

Local beer store just put up a post on facebook with a picture of KBS, saying come get it while it lasts. I was there within the hour for my one bottle limit. I managed to get two, though!

 

First off, you called 20-30 stores? Second, regardless of what you were told, in NO WAY should you be mad that you didn't get a case. Many people in Cleveland are thankful to get a bottle or 2. You didn't get a case and you're not a happy camper? Cry me a river. Let other people get some. The fact that you asked for a case is just ridiculous. Well done, sir.

 

After almost giving up...I managed to score ten bottles today...stoked.

 

Managed to snag 2 today and I know another store in town is getting some tomorrow, so I'm looking to grab another couple.
