    Considering its only released every 3 years and the last time was 2013, it's one super hard to find beer. Even on my beer cellar its going for $200.

    Unless your coming to the events in CA and plan on standing in line for 6 hours with the rest of it, this one sadly won't happen since its never bottled.

    It has crossed my mind to make a trip out that way just for the release. Maybe make a weekend out of it.

    As far as waiting in long lines... I've been to Dark Lord Day,... I've waited in some looooooong ass lines.

    Haha, I've had this same issue. They have a double version of Green right now on tap.

    My part of florida is WAY far behind in the craft beer scene(well not jacksonville just north of here, maybe just literally my town), but that'd be awesome to see something like CBS just randomly pop up like that. The more we catch up to the times the more stuff like that i'll hopefully see. We just got a craft brewery right in town, I'm hoping that opens more doors!

    Vanilla Rye. I just need to come to terms with the fact that I'll never have it.

    Another vote for KBBS. However, I typically don't go for beers I don't have the ammo to obtain. So, technically, I haven't attempted to snag KBBS. I guess the fact that I won't even make an attempt means it's a whale.
