    ...and there's no way it could possibly live up to the hype. Or... could it?

    Now I see why they're called whales. I was in Chicago and Kalamazoo and have missed KBS on both bottle and tap in both places.

    Anyways, long story short suddenly and unexpectedly I will be in Ann Arbor tomorrow morning, March 20. And I have transportation. What are my chances of finding this bad boy? And where?

    Chances are "Slim" but you should check pretty much everywhere.

    Also, KBS isn't a whale.

    If you ever make it to GR I could trade a couple to you, Chances of finding it a week after the release will be small. And yes it does live up to the hype! Also, if you do mail trades it is not that hard to get, Shorts or kuhnhenn stuff will get it done.

    No place in Ann Arbor has any left. I was there last week when they received shipments. Most places did a waiting list for it.

    It amazes me how many people down play how good a beer is?

    I only read that it wasn't a whale. It is great, however, but so are many other beers that are as easy or easier to get.

    I'm sure the rationale is if we can convince enough people, it increases our chances of getting more :slight_smile:

    2 years ago it sat til late spring-summer on the shelf.
    It's long gone before it even comes into stores nowadays.
