KBS in MSP

Will the Butcher & the Boar event be better this year?

 

Was the event bad last year?

 

KBS kicked in like 5 minutes last year, this year was superb, great event. Had KBS, Boiler Maker, BA Reds Rye and Backwoods Bastard.

 

Had the BA Red's Rye at the Muddy Pig Wednesday, that beer is the DEAL.

 

Last year was really brutal and embarrassing for many reasons. I learned my lessons and put everything I learned into making this one better. I think everything went really smooth and thank you so much to everyone who showed up today, couldn't have asked for better weather either.

Again, thanks a ton, hope those of you that made it enjoyed yourselves.

Cheers!

Is the KBS still going at butcher?

 

No sir.

Great bartenders in the beer garden. The guy said it was about 20 minutes last year. This year was about 45! Haha. Either way, great beers, great event. Fiancee and I were lucky enough to split the last 6oz pour they basically drained from the tap line. Glad it lasted 45 minutes this time.

 

All the other barrel aged beers were still going half hour ago.

 

BA red's rye was superb Good God

 

The event was awesome. Great weather and amazing beer and service. Had KBS, BA Reds Rye, boilermaker and Backwoods Bastard. Nice work B&tB!

 

I had some people over for a 4 year vertical last night. 13' was everyone's favorite because we thought 14 was a little hot and that the coffee had faded off a bit in the others.

 

Anyone know if any place is getting it today? Or still has it (long shot I know). I missed it last week.

 

Great event, @b33rknuts. Your beer list was great yesterday, as it always is.

 

I've heard from a few folks that some stores will get their allotment this week. Not sure where or when though.

 

I was in Lakeville this weekend and asked their liquor store about it and was told they were saving it for beer club members only. That's crap!

 

Maybe if you gave them $300 you could have a shot at it! Or for $1000, two rare beers!

But that would be ridiculous...

 

Rochester got 10 cases today divided by 5 stores. 1 case is being withheld until Wednesday at one location. Otherwise, all gone already. Cheers to you truck chasers.

 

Were they limiting sales or did 9 guys buy a case each? I have a hard time believing there are enough people in Rochester seeking KBS that they would sell 9 cases that quickly! Or maybe the Twin Cities truck chasers have expanded their net.

 

I was able to secure a couple bottles, it was limit 2.....I have a feeling that a lot of people were after this beer in rochester. At Andys north there were quite a few 4 packs with peoples names on them...wasn't to thrilled about that, should be first come first serve
