KBS in MA

I just called a few local liquor stores and spoke to a manager. They can tell you the day and time that their deliveries are expected.

Last year most said 1 bottle per person. This year a few are saying one 4pk per person

 

Wollaston Wine and Spirits still has cases of the 2016 - 4 packs are $30

 

I think a lot of places are getting deliveries today.

 

Urban Grape, Bacon's and Julio's have all said they have it.

 

Just got a 4 pack from Stans Liquors in Athol. Nice beer selection for a small store.

 

That place and the beer guy there are laughable. They lock their over priced individual BCBS and KBS bottles and do holds which i find highly annoying.

 

They do all the things that piss people off, unless you're the one getting the hookup -- I go there a lot, they know me, I spend a lot there, most of the time on 4-packs of hops, so when a good stout comes out, I know they'll hold one to take care of me.
I like the beer guy there, he's always been very friendly (and no, I'm not him,) and they don't hover like CBC.

Not to highjack the thread though -- what's the KBS 2017 going for at other stores?

 

$22 in ME

 

Anywhere from $25-$28 in CT... ridiculous.

 

From $22 to $32 in RI

 

Managed to grab 10 bottles. $22.99 in two separate places and then $6 a bottle in the third place.

 

I got some at Fifth Avenue in Framingham. $23 a 4 pack.

 

What city/town? What stores?

 

Kappys Rt16 had 6 cases. Went on sale at 5pm. They are holding the bombers back til tmw

Kappys east Boston done 2 bottles per.

Belle isle wine in Winthrop got 4 cases.

Called Atlas in Medford. They'll have 6 cases on Thursday. Will announce of Facebook.

Other stores in the area are expecting Thursday deliveries too.

Best bet is total wine in Everett. Expecting 17 cases tomorrow plus ridiculously over priced bombers too

 

i'd love to pick up some birthday kbs tomorrow, maybe i'll try Total Wine. Last year i was searching for kbs like crazy and only managed to get 2 bottles, and it was not worth the effort/money i put in to get them. Hopefully now that i have a car it will be easier. I know CBC Belmont is getting it this week and will be selling it Saturday at opening, but i'm typically not a fan of how CBC does it. One of them wanted you to buy a founders 4/6 pack in order to be allowed to buy it.

 

Best bet is to ignore the craft beer destinations like CBC or Redstone. They work the hype, get the crowds.

make a few calls to local stores with decent beer selections. I'm lucky to have 4 places near home and another 2 close to work that will be getting deliveries this week. I've called, spoke with the manager and now know when they expect delivery. I should be able to lay my hands on another 3 or 4 4pks before weeks end. Maybe more of the missus can help out.

Meanwhile, at some beer Mecca there'll be queues round the block on Saturday morning for some big hoopla of a release.

Gotta shop smart

 

Shop S-Mart!

 

South of Boston looks to be getting their deliveries today and tomorrow

 

$40 a 4 pack in North Adams.
