    Canals in Woodbridge got it (KBS) and it was all gone by the time I got there last night. And stopped by Wine Library and they said they are getting it on Friday but they had a list and its all accounted for, so my search continues.

    Sorry, I picked up their last bottle of KBS around 5:30pm.

    They are heavily stocked with Riserva, though.

    Can't you NYers stay in NY to shop and leave the Jersey inventory for us?:stuck_out_tongue:

    Haha sorry, I work in Edison, just 8 minutes from Canal's.
    I did also pick up a bottle on Staten Island on my way home, too. Picked up my allocation from both states :grinning:

    I just bought a bottle of Riserva from Fairway in Woodland Park

    Is the Riserva really that good? Is it worth stopping to try to grab a bottle? What's it similar to?

    No clue. Read the description and a couple of reviews on BA, figured why not. Price wasn't labeled on shelf, they really look like it just set this morning. $19.99 price tag wasn't expected, but I've done worse. Looks like they just got some Lagunitas Undercover Investigation Shut-down Ale as well, no clue on that rarity though.

    I was at fairway yesterday afternoon and they did not have it out yet. It was either 16.99 or 18.99 at garys. I've also noticed that fairway is about $1-3 dollars more expensive than garys or stew Leonard's. I really enjoyed the riserva I had last night. Also had a Maine lunch ipa which was excellent.

    I got a bottle of Riserva, hopefully it's good for the $20 it cost.

    According to the 414 reviews on the website BeerAdvocate.com it ranks about 88 out of 100.. - http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/392/43217
    More subjectively, I had it once and from what I remember its just really super tart ..

    I was able to pick up 2 bottles of Reserva (one for now and one to age) and KBS in Ramsey. Oh and I got Lunch. Pretty good haul for the day.

    Nothing from Lagunitas is rare.

    Oh totally agree. Just answering his last comment, not saying anything about quality.

    had Riserva last nite. its good, sour but not vinegar, notes of raspberry. as advertised. very strong but no alcohol taste at all. im not a sour person but i liked this, got it because the big abv made the $16 worthwhile for me and i wanted something different.

    I just called them today to ask if they got KBS yet and the guy on the phone told me they didn't get it yet and to check back next week. One of my friends said he picked up a bottle from them the other day though. I think the guy on the phone just had no idea what he was talking about.

    I got a case on release day from the brewery - I am a big sour fan and I think this is a great beer. Also scored myself 6 more Sour Blacks while I was at it. :grinning: Good luck to all finding it at the local shops.

    Swung by Total Wine (in Union) last night to pick up some stuff for a trade...saw about a caseload of 2012 Riserva on the shelf.

    Did you happen to notice the price of Riserva at Total Wine?
