    Figured I'd start a tread for CT KBS sightings.

    Founders web site says a March 30th release date this year unless you had a ticket for the release there last week.

    Cask Republic in Stamford did theirs last night. I've heard rumors of Eli Cannons having one

    Have there actually been any yet besides Cask in Stamford? There's still some happening at Mcladden's and Eli Cannons. I assume the Plan B chain will get some as well.

    Mcladden's in Simsbury is doing a tapping with other Founder;s beers. It is a ticketed event.

    I'm not sure. I just figured past april I doubt there would be many or any. ct doesn't get as many as ny. I think I saw one other, don't remember where. and mcladdens. but $25 for a 5 oz in a flight doesn't interest me much. plan b would be cool.

    Is that how McLadden's is handling it?

    I'd love to snag some bottles. Anyone know how it usually works? Just one bottle per person or what? I've called multiple stores and they usually just tell me "sometime in April" or say they have no idea when it'll hit.

    Yes, I think it's just mcladdens in Simsbury on 4/15. $25 for a flight. Think it was KBS (this year's and last), CBS, and breakfast stout?

    Most stores, that actually get an allocation, will limit it to single bottles. Its a crap shoot whether any of it will actually see the shelves, or be held onto for the "good customers". Founders' official release date, i think, is March 30. Some stores will just sell it as soon as it comes in, others will respect that date.

    I remember certain stores putting it out a day early last year, and others a day after or so. I'm assuming most stores are getting their allotments in on April 1st? It probably depends what county you live in.

    As for events, here is what I am seeing on the founders site:

    3/31 5pm - 2am - Founders Night @ The Outer Space - http://foundersbrewing.com/events/founders-night-outer-space/
    4/1 - 5pm - 12am - Founders Night @ Plan B - http://foundersbrewing.com/events/founders-night-plan-b/
    4/7 - Founder's Bash Eli Cannon's - 6pm - 2am - http://foundersbrewing.com/events/founders-bash-eli-cannon/
    4/8 - 8:30pm - 2am - KBS Party @ Old Dublin - http://foundersbrewing.com/events/kbs-launch-party-live-music-old-dublin/
    4/9 - 5pm - 2am - Backstate in Torrington - http://foundersbrewing.com/events/cbs-event-backstage/

    Is it really like that in CT? Was hoping it'd be at somewhere close to as easy as BCBS is to get.

    CT has been tapping it since yesterday? Not bad. NYC is sticking to a strict 4/1 release at the request of Founders. Then again, there are always a few bars that fall through the cracks...

    Putnam Plaza in East Hartford had some today, but at $9 each with a 2 btl limit. I would have certainly passed, but I had sent my wife in since she had the day off, and she had no idea what it's supposed to retail for. Rip-off crooks.

    Any idea how much they had? 9 bucks per btl is crazy..
