KBS 2017 in California

Looking forward to it, haven't seen it.

 

Ships to retailers next week

 

Hit a bunch of WFs in the Bay Area a few days ago. Should be plenty to go around the State.

 

Yeah, but not all of us are tight with the cheese mongers.

 

Saw it at Bevmo Laguna Niguel on Monday right next to the Parabola display.

 

Is it really that good guys? The answer is no. None of us here should care about it. We have other great beers here.

 

KBS wasn't like that last time. Cases right on the floor, at least in SoCal WFs. Also, a buddy of mine sent a photo from Mollie Stones in SF about three weeks ago . . . they still had tons of 2016 KBS. Wish I liked it better; it's always felt harsh and not very well put together to me.

 

Yup, KBS turds it up at several spots in/around SF. I agree, it's not a great beer by any means.

 

I'll throw down a couple more bones for Parabola any day.

 

I notice quite a few beers turd on shelves up here. Pretty happy about that.

 

The Lagunitas BA coffee stout is 1/3 the price, and a better beer.

Anyway. Good luck everyone, should be a ton of KBS hitting the shelves this year.

 

All I get is soy sauce, feel like that beer has been surpassed by so many others.

 

My beef with KBS in the past was the spent coffee ground taste that I've gotten in a few batches. Still looking to get a 4-pack because it makes for a good mid-week treat that enables me to dodge the guilt from opening something better like Parabola. What I want to know is why Founders Imperial Stout seems to be tough to find.

 

I did a side by side with a 2016 KBS and lagunitas Hi-westified. I almost thought they were the same beer. Both with very good, but at the price point I will take the lagunitas all day. Now if I could only find more.

 

came here to say the same thing

 

You guys are brutal. I thought last year's KBS was great and a superior beer to any stout Lagunitas does. Almost think you guys are trolling to keep everyone from scooping up your KBS.

 

Not me. I've tried it several years running and just can't get into it.

 

I am not saying it isn't good. But it is not worth all the hype. If I see it I will pick some up, if it is gone before I see, then I can live without it.

 

Makes sense. I just thought of it as another BA stout so was quite pleased with the beer.
