    Imperial Stout is awesome. Surprised they didn’t give CBS a year off...

    Anyone heard anything about KBS Week this year? kbsweek.com just redirects to a landing page about KBS now. Is it possible the tradition is over now that there's enough to go around?

    That would make me sad. I've always enjoyed it.

    Where do people in Chicago find the freshest founders standards? Looking for fresh Centennial and Solid Gold. Binny's doesn't suffice.

    Sure. But will there still be the annual event KBS Week?

    @Jplachy I just looked at my past tickets and it appears that they generally make the announcement in early February.

    Must be getting ready for the Cellar Raid event, Jan 23-27. Maybe the KBS announcement after that. :slight_smile:

    BA FIS sixers next week! CBS is sitting collecting dust by me. They really need to ditch the 750's for CBS and/or price point.

    I spoke with someone at founders and they said there won’t be a KBS week this year. However they will be “releasing” it in their taprooms on March 8

    Sincere question: how long will bottles last in GR? (I haven't paid any attention to the Mothership Series so, while I'm sure BA FIS will be super hyped, I have no basis for gauging whether or how quickly it will sell out.)

    Isn't there no limit or a high limit? It will sell out fast as everyone will be loading up. BYOH. Bring your own hand truck.

    Panther Cub sold out in like a day and I think this would be more desired.

    Agreed this will be more desirable but Panther Cub was released on a Saturday if i’m not mistaken. Will be interesting with a Wednesday release to see how everything goes.

    Panther Cub was 10 case limit. FBAIS is a 5 case limit. Saturday versus Wednesday. Desirability difference. This all adds up to selling out at 5:56pm in Grand Rapids and in 1 hour 43 minutes in Detroit.

    Sixer only 15 bucks, this is cheaper than the base beer.
