KBS in Madison

So, a bit off topic, but is Jennifer St. Market generally a good store? I've been to all the other typical shops (Riley's, all three Steve's locations, both Woodmans), but never Jennifer St.

Good luck to all on their search!

 

Did not see it was in a bar. Understandable price then, I thought you were saying in stores.

 

At Steves on McKee, you have to enter your name in the lottery. I'm told it's not first come first serve. But then on University it is first come first serve.

 

So is it coming out tomorrow at all? Or is it definitely coming in Tuesday? I'll check in after work tomorrow I guess.

Also, JSM has a pretty good selection with decent prices. It's all the way out on the east side so I've only been there twice.

 

JSM is the best bottle store in Madison selection-wise. It is $1-2 more expensive, but their selection is unmatched.

 

I will have to pay a visit to JSM someday! It is a bit out of the way but may be worth the trip.

 

They definitely have the coldest walk-in cooler in all of Wisconsin! I remember seeing a coathook right outside with sweatshirts for customers who don't come in properly attired! I'd still say Woodman's has a better selection at better prices though.

 

No KBS at Steve's on UAve as of 12PM.

 

Did they say that they thought they were getting it today, though?

 

"Soon" was the answer I got.

 

Damn. They're always so sketched out about arrivals there. I get that it's to make it fair for everyone, but it's still pretty frustrating. I've never had the pleasure of KBS, so I'm really hoping to land some at one of the stores this year.

 

Most liquor stores I've talked to predict tomorrow. I work

 

Pretty sure Steve's on Junction is doing a lottery, for the working folk.

 

It's probably all the beer hounds that have been prowling about Madison ever since last week's release party. Another BA who went in to ask at the same store just a bit ago got told the same thing before he even opened his mouth to ask after KBS.

 

Tenuta's in Kenosha had it today (sold out) so it should definitely be in Madison soon.

 

Yeah, I went in because I was in the neighborhood and before I could open my mouth, the cashier just said, "Soon." He wasn't a dick about it or anything and clarified that it was just to be fair to everyone, so I don't fault them. I just hope the yield increase of KBS will transfer over to it being easier to get than say Backwoods Bastard was. I'm hoping it'll be something like how Imperial Stout was, but I think that's probably being too optimistic.

On a sidenote, if anyone is still looking for some Founders Imperial Stout, they have some at the Viking Express Market in Baraboo for $10. Also, last I was in Mauston (it's around where I'm from, and I went home for spring break) there's still some 2012 GI BCBS at J&S liquor. Unfortunately it is $26 a four-pack and is obviously a bit off the beaten path, but I'm fairly sure that's damn near the last of it still on shelves in WI, at least in this general area.

 

Sorry to go off the topic, but since most of you guys are from WI I thought this is a good time to ask, are there any stores in WI that sell Avery?

Also, a guy hung up on me when I called Steve's a couple days. All he said was wait till it is posted on Facebook and then hung up. Yes it definitely getting a little frustrating.

 

Yes, Brennan's sells a lot of Avery.
