Karbach Krunkin Punkin update

I currently have in my fridge, 2 Krunkin, 1 Fat Jack, 1 Jolly Pumpkin La Parcela (2011) and 3 Pumpking. I swear I need to start drinking beer more.

 

Thats nothing. I have like 70 bottles waiting for me, Im probably gonna go through them by November and stop cellaring crap, and stop trading.

 

My hoard must be over by 400 now. I still buy beer at the rate I did when I drank 3+ a day, but now I only drink once a week, if that. But how can I turn down all the great new beer? #firstworldproblems

 

Specs at 45south and fm 518 still has a few bottles... I just picked up 1.. They seemed surprised it was going so fast...

 

I feel like it's selling about as expected. There was what? 190 cases? That's not much product for a city as big as Houston. Don't forget, for every poster in this thread, there are likely many times more lurkers. Not to mention that Karbach's following in general seems to be getting pretty strong these days.

 

If you need any help with that please let me know.

 

Yeah I dont even know how many are waiting for me, I was just talking about the Pumpkin beers.

 

Yes, this. My purchases far outweigh my consumption. I now have a 21cf fridge in the garage that is completely full, plus 30-40 more bottles (mostly bombers) in a pantry. But I'm still down to get my hands on some Pumpkinator!

 

Yall need to be on a Hoarders Episode!!!!

I can just imagine the host of the show telling one of you guys, "Alright, can you let this Pumking 2011 go? You have 2 more in the other cabinet."

 

No. I might need that. It's going to age nice and could be good trade bait. Maybe I can get rid of some of these 2010 Frambozens, though... Maybe.

 

I'm gonna be driving up to northeast Houston from Galveston and wondered were on 45/downtown/59 n might have any left? That isn't super out of the way???

 

Check HEBs on the way.

 

I got mine just off 45 south.. just north of Galveston.. at FM518... a Specs near Kroger there...

I checked both of the big HEB's near there... off FM 646 and the one in Friendswood... neither had anyone around to ask... and I didn't see it out anywhere.

 

Damn, I almost went by that 518 one earlier.

 

confirmed, picked up two from the back at the 518 specs about 5pm.

 

Just called them and they are out. Just now heading out.... Dang

 

I had the Schlafly Pumpkin last night in St Louis. I want to try the Kunkin now to compare. Will probably do so early next week as I brought one to share with a trading partner.

As far as hoarding, I'm sitting at around 250 and expect to come home from Michigan and Chicago with a bunch more.

 

Pick me up some Zombie Dust. Im on my last bottle.

 

I got one! Kevin texted me to tell me Specs Rayford had 4 bottles left with a one bottle limit, so I was there in about 5 minutes! Exciting because I also ran into a friend I know from the earlier college days and she loves beer too!!

Since we are talking about hoarding...I am probably working toward 500 bottles. I need to find a tasting group reasonably close to home to share all this beer with! I live in a tiny apartment so I cannot host, but I can bring beer!! It's hard to drink when you have nobody to drink with and you do not drink alone.
