    Every spot I checked downtown said it would not be in until Wednesday. Sounds like the Falls and some of the surrounding areas received distributions. Discount etc. should still receive shipments tomorrow.

    I might actually attempt to pick up a bottle or two this year. Gotta make sure I keep up to date on the ol' twitter.

    From what I heard is Woodman's in Waukesha had a 1 case limit and it is already gone. Yes, a CASE limit.

    From what people are saying on Twitter, it took less than 4 people 30 seconds to sell them out. I believe I remember hearing the same BS happen with Black Note last year. That store needs to learn about bottle limits.

    I heard that too about Waukesha Woodman's; that is insane!

    I wonder how that guy felt as he bought his case and got the death stare from everyone waiting in line behind him!?

    I'd guess someone who does that isn't terribly concerned about others; I wouldn't even know what to do with 24 KBS. I'd be happy just to get one if I happen to come across it.

    Seriously? A case? Sorry, but it's just not a case kind of beer. KBS is good, but it's over hyped and overpriced. I make a pretty close knockoff in my basement, costs me $60 for 4 gallons. Unless your trying to horde for trade ammo, I personally couldn't justify dropping $150-$200 on that. Would enjoy grabbing 1 or 2 bottles, and would then crack them open at a bottle share.

    Timer's in Racine started selling at 10am. I got there at 1.15pm, got my two, and there were only two left. I did note an additional 4 pack under the counter by the check out area, but that was being held for some high roller apparently. Just happy to get some....

    This beer is such a pain in the butt to get, I've given up trying to get bottles. I'll try and grab it on tap someone. I've been a beer geek for almost 14 years and this is one of the few whalez in my market that continues to elude me.

    Well, Founders was selling it by the half-to-full case to customers at their brewpub, so it might be. I got most of a case and it went around to others, trades, gifts, actually drink it. There's plenty of reasons to have a case. Plus the case was well less than $150.

    I checked Woodman's in Kenosha again today and nothing. That's Monday at 11:30 and 3, Tuesday at 12:30 and today at 2:45. Either they haven't put it out yet or they sold out somewhere in between.

    @Bshaw22 If you don't mind me asking whereabouts in WI do you live? Surely if you are close to me, I'd be happy to give you one.
