    Easy to get, but a lot of places implement silly policies like spend $20 so you can buy one bottle for $7.

    Getting a ticket for KBS week is pretty much the only way to get it here, and I am in Michigan.

    Hey, look at it as you winning the raffle! :wink: Here it's slim to none. Most stores seem to get a case and even at a bottle limit in most instances everything gets scooped up within minutes as soon as stores announce it is in. Basically a typical limited release in the Chicagoland area.

    I don't think that it saw the shelves around here.

    I live in a smallish town (15,000ish people) and very few people if any are as into craft beer as I am where I'm at. Last year I bought 12 bottles and could have bought the whole case if I wanted to. Also got a case of bourbon county this past year. Just lucky spot of state where I live, don't really get any other special releases of note.

    Lottery or dumb luck in my area if I want one bottle at a time. Thrill of the hunt drove me in years past but may just take what comes my way this year, i.e. none.

    NJ gets the shaft on this stuff. Worse than BCBS. And I imagine this year will be even worse with the ever increasing craft beer population and truck chasers. If you don't stroke off a beer manager you'll be lucky to get one bottle and if you do it'll cost ya at least $9-10 a bottle.

    Have to say it's really as crazy as BCBS Black Friday. I got two lousy bottles of BCBS this past year. Maybe it was Karma, but I was lucky to score a ticket to this year's KBS Release next week.:rolling_eyes:

    One could easily run around and get a case if they wanted to. I am sure some greedy people even get 2 or 3 cases. I am good with a 4-pack.

    Good beer but there's no way I'd degrade myself and jump through the hoops some of you apparently are.
