KBS 2014 tapping event threads (Mid-Atlantic)

From Norm's Facebook page this afternoon:

"Ok, it looks like KBS will be delivered this week; our normal delivery day for Founder's is Thursday, April 3rd; that's how it stands as of now. We don't know what time the truck arrives, but will try to post ASAP on Facebook and Twitter when it's here. First come, first served, no holds or telephone sales please.

 

CORRECTION: It's a 30L keg, so you'll have at least 90 10oz pours (or 180 5oz pours)

 

Rodmans dc has KBS instock

 

For those in the metro Philly area, here's what I've learned (ugh): most places including big stores like Wegmans are selling 2 bottles at best. Distribution is way down from the past as (probably) Founders going wider with distribution across the country has not (understandably) been able to produce an equally larger amount of KBS.
I just paid $16 for two bottles in Center City and that's about the best you'll find. Hard facts but it's just not worth any more money or driving, IMO.

 

Anyone at Fire Works now? How crowded is it?

 

This going to be tapped at a set time?

 

It will either be tapped first thing or for happy hour (5pm).

I don't have event details yet.

 

Thanks for reply. I'll keep an eye on this thread to see if you get more info. Def gonna come by Friday

 

Kbs kicked in 14min at fireworks. The guy pouring the majority was not a bartender and pouring half foam glasses and pulling on the tap constantly to finish each glass making more foam. Still pretty crowded here

 

14 minutes??? It must have tapped in 8 minutes at Churchkey...

 

Good to meet josh and his dad tonight...one wearing a Yankees hat and the other a mets hats! Happy kbs hunting everyone!

 

Goodness gracious...that's insane. Even with bad pour technique, the crowd there had to be ridiculous.

 

I imagine it to be like the unruly hoards of people you see outside of Wal-Mart right before the doors open on Black Friday, except multiply the number of beards and butthurt in the crowd by ten.

 

How the hell did I not hear about this? And how does that place keep getting rare kegs like that? I couldn't believe it when they got the Cinnamon Wake-n-Bake.

 

Damn you guys get boned. Jersey got double the amount we did last year and I bought my bottles today for $5.99 and $6.99.

 

If you're only able to buy two bottles, there's not much difference between 6-8 dollars per.

 

That's another 6 pack of beer. Since I like beer and not just KBS.
