    Anyone have ideas on where to buy KBS in Columbus?

    This is from Weilands on Saturday:
    http://www.facebook.com/pages/Weilands-Gourmet-Market/60821792228

    Breaking news on Founder's KBS: We will have a raffle for this year's supply. Stop in anytime on Tuesday to put your name and number in a hat (no phone call entries). We will draw names on Wednesday and call the lucky winners. You can then buy a bottle (one per person) anytime next week.

    I checked with Savor and they mentioned running a raffle through their Facebook.

    I checked with Palmers and they were non-committal, but mentioned checking on Tuesday (tomorrow) or Friday.

    LOL @ Weiland's....they just hid a bottle of 2012 KBS in the cheese section...and another in the wine section...apparently up for grabs...and posted a pic on Twitter. NO PHONE CALLS. Looks like they are having some fun today.

    So far, it's in the wine section, the coffee section, the salsa, and the pickles. But seriously, if you can get to Weiland's, it looks like right now is the time.

    I would like to drive over there tonight, but I have a feeling that there won't be any to have by the time I get there. Driving from Dublin. I'll just head over tomorrow and put my name it at Weilands and stop into Savor and Palmers.

    Damn this beer is becoming more and more work every year. Think I might just sit this one out and avoid the stress required to acquire a single 12oz bottle...

    The only reason I'm even going to try for this one is so I can split it with a buddy who recently got into craft beer and is obsessed with coffee stouts. He lives in a small town that doesn't stand a chance of getting KBS.

    Is it just these three places that will get the beer this year?

    Most of these places listed on the Columbus Beer Guide page should get some. Each will have a different policy on how they choose to divvy up their allotment.

    Weiland's just posted they still have some of the 2012 "hiding" in the store.

    Savor is doing a raffle as-well

    Savor Market

    We all know that KBS is a very, very tough beer to get your hands on. So this has been a request by all of our customers. From here on out, for any big releases limited beers we will have a raffle. It makes things easier and gives every customer the chance to get their hands on limited/tough beer. Plus, We don't have to feel guilty on the same people always here first and getting their hand it first. We have received a case (24bottles) of the March 2013 release of Founders Brewing Co.’s incredibly popular Kentucky Breakfast Stout, or KBS. that being said, let the KBS raffle began! Any customer that is interested in buying KBS stop by and write your name with a phone number or post your name here. The drawing will be held tomorrow at 7pm here at Savor Market. No purchase necessary to enter the drawing. So, tomorrow night 24 KBS winners will be announced. We will announce the winners at 7pm tonight please note that winners will need to be here at the drawing in order to be eligible otherwise we will continue to draw names. Post your name if you want the chance to get buy it! Goodluck too all! Note that you still have to pay for the beer itself, this guarantees you the limited beer.

    I think $5 a bottle might be too steep for the unemployed. Its days like this I wish i were independently wealthy. Most other days too...

    I found a 2012 hiding in Weiland's about 2 hours ago. They told me I got the last one, but I don't know if they said that just so I wouldn't go looking for others (I wouldn't have, BTW). $7.99.
