KBS 2017 in California

Socal maybe, but this will be it's third appearance in Norcal. Hoping it tastes more like 2015 than 2016. I'll buy some, but definitely more Parabola even though it's more coin.

 

Confirm this, my local WF had stacks of it last go round.

Cheers,

 

Just hit my local store, and all the vendor had to send was two cases! Ridiculous. So, 12 customers, and likely done. Oh, well. I get my 4 bottles...

Edit: Ooh, Rank Titles!

 

Well, did it hit California?. I haven't seen it around yet.

 

Well, if it's in the Bay Area, it should be in all of CA. Where you at?

 

My local bevmo got 7 cases. $22/4pk. Was to be put out 4/1.

 

Rancho Santa Margarita.

 

i've been asking places about parabola and i keep getting the same response.

"no we havnt gotten parabola yet... but we got kbs!"

thanks, 1 4 pack is enough. it's already hit the bay.

real question is where's parabola?? i need it asap lol

 

hit santa clara county last thursday i think...got my little haul

 

Got a 4-pack at Total Wine in Fremont yesterday for $22.99. It was behind the counter.

 

Well, first year living in California, so I truly hope this is the land KBS comes to turd. Just to get my hands on the stuff more easily

 

It won't completely turd up shelves, but you won't find people chasing trucks on release day either. It will likely last at places for 1-2 days

 

One quick correction. They only had a few of the 4 packs, and 7 cases of the 750ml.

the 750ml was about $20.99.

 

First BA stout I ever had, and I thought it was incredible. Then I had five dozen other BA stouts and don't feel KBS is the jewel it once was. Still good, but the hype it commands, especially on the East Coast, is truly absurd.

 

Heineken

 

It's possible they don't make money because Heineken can afford to lose money.

 

Or maybe its slim manufacturing and using economies of scale that are not available to smaller breweries driving the lower price point. It does give them a competitive advantage and benefits the customer... but by all means, let's be uncharitable and assume loss leading on the part of big beer, despite the fact that Lagunitas and High Westified both has been a terrific value since long before the green glass buy in....
