    maybe we will get some threads of people buying cases of this purely on hype and being completely underwhelmed...

    We can only hope. Then they'll trade it reasonably instead of holding out for something out of the park

    Can't just post right the first time can you ...

    Founders KBS release 2013 will begin with a four-day, pre-ticketed, on-site bottle release beginning on Wednesday, March 27, prior to being released across our distribution footprint on April 1.
    Dates for the taproom bottle release are as follows:
    • Day #1: Wednesday, March 27, 2013, 11am-9pm
    • Day #2: Thursday, March 28, 2013, 11am-9pm
    • Day #3: Friday, March 29, 2013, 11am-9pm
    • Day #4: Saturday, March 30, 2013, 11am-9pm
    Tickets for all four release dates will be available beginning at 11:00am on Saturday, February 16, via brownpapertickets.com on a first-come, first-served basis. There is a limit of one ticket per person. Tickets are non-refundable, and proceeds from the $5 purchase price will be donated to Grand Rapids Whitewater. Your ticket, along with a valid government-issued photo ID, gets you the opportunity to purchase KBS only on the date listed on your ticket. A strict maximum limit of 12 bottles per person applies. KBS is $4.75 per bottle, $19 per 4-pack, and $57 for 12 bottles (three 4-packs). Bottles can ONLY be picked up on the day listed on the ticket from our Company Store during regular business hours (see above).

    [​IMG]
    ‘KBS Week’ culminates in an all-day draft release party in our taproom on Saturday, March 30. The party takes place from 11am-2am, is strictly 21+ and is free-of-charge. March 30 marks the first day KBS will be available on tap. The party stars the draft release of KBS, and free live entertainment will be offered in the evening.

    What a shitshow the beer world has become
    I went in 07 and KBS was on the shelves for weeks
    went in 08 and had lunch at the bar, sampled many beers and bought 4 cases at about 2 before I went back to my hotel. Next day they still had a ton.
    Now you have to buy a ticket just to buy the beer.

    I'm lucky I went through my phase for this stuff when it was still fun.
    12 more for someone else!

    You bought four cases? Perhaps you are the reason why they have to set a bottle limit.

    I kinda figured 12 would still be the limit. I'm excited. Sounds like a great time. This beer never gets old to me.
