    Zero line and plenty of bottles as of ~2pm. This year's KDS base is one of my favorites. Absolutely phenomenal.

    I just had a bottle last night and it's phenomenal. We're so spoiled here to not have to sell plasma and throw elbows just to get a bottle.

    Now that I drank mine, though, time to get another one.

    Turned up around 3:30pm and there was next to no line at the west side bar, got my pours and bottles no dramas. Personally preferred the Spice this year, a much more complex flavour than the Coffee (which is still delicious of course).

    Distribution is a strange world but a necessary one that we don’t have much control over....it’s like driving a truck of boulders downhill, in a rainstorm, with bald tires and you’re sliding down that hill, trying to steer from the back.

    Colorado received all three BBADS releases at the same time due to shipping realities but they shouldn’t have been released at the same time.

    Living in Indiana and having tasted a lot of Fremont's offerings, I can echo this statement. How these beers are not more highly sought after is shocking to me. That being said, I'm totally okay with that, seeing as I don't have to trade an arm and a leg to drink what I consider to be some of the best BA offerings around!

    Still a handful (but just 'a handful' per the guy behind the bar) of the Coffee at the brewery as of this afternoon. Also Base. Also pleasantly surprised at the quantity of Cowiche left (in addition to the various F2F varietals), but that's a topic for a different thread...

    Edit: Spice was gone, though

    And to us, it's somewhat shocking that they are pretty much the only beers from around here people ask for. Two sides to every coin.

    Shocked??? I'm thrilled our beer
    is undervalued elsewhere.
    That coin keeps us rich.

    Base was gone when I went in yesterday afternoon (the PCC down the road has it however), still plenty of coffee left though.
