    Not lucky, just apparently bad at typing so early in the morning :slight_smile: Both the ticket sale and Disney on Ice are at Saturday at 11am.

    Gotcha! I'm doing the Disney on Ice thing in March. Good times.

    My place of employment has a log of Canadian Breakfast Stout sitting in the cooler. Hoping they tap it soon.

    I'm going to try my damndest to get it for my store. We'll see what happens though.

    KBS is a good brew but I don't think it stands up to bcbcs, parabajava, BA Speedway, Mocha Wednesday and many other imperial coffee stouts. I'll still buy it and enjoy it but I don't get the hype around it either.

    Still have more than half a case from last year. Ha I feel so guilty every time I crack one open.

    Might not be quite as good, but the fact it comes in a 4 pk for $20 vs almost all those you listed being $30 for a single bottle (3x the price per oz, and only 1 drinking session), I think the "hype" is real for a lot of people, myself included. I've had all the beers you listed and for my $ (other than BCBCS) I'd take KBS all day long over any of them for an everyday BB coffee Stout.

    It is a great value for what it is, that's its biggest selling point for me even at $25 4/pack. Strictly from a similar value comparison I'd rate bcbcs, sms, big bad baptist (certain batches), and Lagunitas High Westified above it for my personal tastes.

    Guilty cracking one, not guilty posting to share with folks who fight tooth and nail for 2 bottles :rolling_eyes:

    The honest answer is both... Get into our seats a few minutes early and refresh like hell from my phone starting at 10:58a and deal with the fact that my wife will be mildly annoyed that beer has my attention at the start of the show. I can deal with that.

    Or show up with only a few minutes to spare; be the good guy by dropping them off right at the door while you spend a few minutes "looking for a parking spot"....at that point who cares if you walk in 10-15 min late.

    Haha... I like the way you think. The only issue is I work right next to the arena and have a corporate parking spot. No need to search for parking.

    Can't wait - one of my favorites every year. Not easy to get but I usually end up with 6 or more ( 9 last year, still have 3 ) One that lives up to the hype.

    Just have your wife on her phone too and kids on a tablet on WiFi... I'm sure that'd fly :grinning:.

    I missed out in under 12 seconds last year because my page took a little too long to refresh, then everything was shown as sold out. Hit f5 like a mf-er hoping someone's cart would expire, but to no avail. Wish they had a local sale for tix first at the Brewery, and then do their eventbrite sale for the masses with their entire extended family (all on three devices each) all trying to get tix at the same time.

    There must have been some site issues. I was about 4 deep in Ashley's annual Barrel Aged Beer party at the exact moment tickets went on sale last year. I honestly didn't even try. My buddy got me a ticket from home. And he got it about 20 minutes after he got his own ticket.
