    Quick update.

    Arch Bridge is doing a Founder's release event on Thursday (2/9/17), and then John's Marketplace is doing a Founder's tap takeover on Friday, from 5 to 8 PM. I would add that I was just over at John's today, and they had an impressive mound of Breakfast Stout, Centennial IPA, All Day IPA, etc.

    Anyone see any KBS in PDX yet? I read that it's starting to hit distribution outlets in the Midwest, so I would think we'd start seeing it around here as well any day now.

    I'd just drink up the breakfast stout. The last few times I tried kbs I've been very underwhelmed. It's been super thin.

    I haven't had it myself in over a year, but last time I had it, I still thought it was pretty good.

    In the past, I've been a very big fan of Breakfast Stout, but truth be told, when I had it on tap at the Tin Bucket roughly a monthly ago, I wasn't all that impressed (which surprised me). So I don't know how I'm going to react to the current KBS, but I'm still interested in trying it.

    I was told it will be here in April.

    Speaking of Founders, I sure don't mind seeing All Day and Rubeaus at Fred Meyer.

    For some reason they release it in Michigan in March and the rest of the country in April. If you're seeing it pop up outside MI someone is breaking the "street date" set by the brewery.

    I thought last years KBS was the worst they have made in several years. Previous years was much better and not as thin as mentioned. Hoping that's not the case this year. Still worth getting some at $6 a bottle.

    Was excited to hear Founders hitting the NW. Went to Founders release event at b2 in Salem and tried 5 of the beers. Rep came around to every table except mine giving out swag and door prizes. Weird.

    I didn't try anything that stood out. Might pick up some breakfast stout and KBS occasionally when available, otherwise will be sticking to the NW favorites.
