    Wegman's in Northborough had singles available a few days ago, at a laughable $8.99 each.

    They're in the back office; you have to ask.

    Redbones just updated their taplist and KBS is still on there. It seems to have lasted at least 4 days. (AND they've got a British cask today! Looks like the NERAX love keeps rolling.)

    Oh wow, not sure I want to head down there today/tonight, I have a bottle I plan on cracking tonight. I've been checking their draft list for an update all week though, thanks for the tip.

    I'm actually more interested in the cask, Cultivator, and the Fastenbier on tap. That's a very solid list. I have more time for a solid session tomorrow, that's why I'm hesitant to pop in today.

    As of an hour ago, the Bedford Package Store (in the plaza with the Stop & Shop) has KBS... no idea what the limit is, or if there is one, but they have them for $12.95 a bottle (!).

    Wow, I work right by there. I'm tempted, but that's more than double what I paid for my other bottle.

    Well, they also have their usual fresh Be Hoppy, which I don't think is priced to hell and back. No Parabola, though.

    It was $10 for a 10.5oz pour at Redbones.

    And it's gone at Redbones. Their list is posted for today.

    I think Publick House and Stoddard's still has it.

    The bottle I had last night was fantastic. More chocolate and less Bourbon this year for my palate.

    Had quite the tease at Yard House Fenway on Wednesday, saw KBS on the chalkboard TV and asked for it but was told they kicked the keg earlier in the afternoon. Plenty of good beer otherwise though and better to keep from over-indulging before the game...

    Was at Meadhall today in Cambridge and they had it $15 for a 10oz pour (still had it as of today). Settled for some lesser-priced brews as I have 5 bottles of these guys to go at my place.

    Just saw that they have 4 packs on the shelf at Wollaston liquors in Quincy... for $29.99. They aren't selling singles.

    That's not really too much of a gouge considering many places sell singles for $8 to $10. There were a couple of CBCs with a one bottle limit and you had to buy other stuff from the store. Now that's a gouge, I wonder if Founders caught word.

    I mean if its a price you are comfortanle with and you're in the mood for some KBS, by all means buy it up.

    I got some this year through a trade, it was prolly cheaper even after you account for shipping and packaging, and got some extras to boot.

    KBS was on tap yesterday for the Derby at Olde Magouns.

    I left a little before 11, the tap handle was still there...so might still be there today. I had my draft around 8:30ish.

    Happy Mother's Day!

    Christopher's in Porter has had KBS on for over a week, assuming it's been on constantly since I saw it late last month and ordered one tonight. $8.95 for what seemed like a generous 7oz pour.

    Huh, good to know. I wonder if they received more than one keg? That's a long time for KBS to last. Probably a combination of them never advertising when they get it (I called this year because I've had it there the previous two years, and they didn't have it around "KBS week") and people generally not caring much about this beer on tap.

    Clearly it still moves fairly quickly in bottles.

    It still was on tap yesterday just after 1 o'clock. I popped in for a pour it and some Grimm Afterimage. I think I was the only one that ordered either while I was there. Pretty quiet. Definitely would have stayed for another glass if I had more time.

    At Magoun's they had Afterimage as well. I thought about it, but seeing as I was there for more than two beers and would be having more later, I decided the KBS was enough high octane for the evening.

    I stuck with Mayflower Golden Ale on cask and some Whirlpool. Afterimage will have to wait...

    Heads up - this was still on tap at Deep Ellum last evening. Surprised to see it's still available. I didn't have any bottles this year so it was nice to get a draft pour. Tasted better than I remember.
