KBS in Texas

Was just vacationing in California and can confirm. Came home with a 4-pack since they were just sitting on shelves two weeks after it dropped. And IMO it is the best year of the three since it has been in Texas.

 

Agreed. Had one last night and it was damn good.

 

Ive only had two bottles of KBS, both from 2014. Thankfully, both were shelf finds. I drank one fresh, and one yesterday.

Im not one to usually be too let down because of hype. Some beers are better or worse than expected, but this was one of the the few that let me down. Maybe not a letdown, as I still enjoyed it. But I was very confused about what I had/have read about this beer.

Im hoping, as mentioned in some previous emails, that maybe there are off years. Just for my taste, many shelf beers here of similar style (local or not) are more enjoyable. I hope I run across another vintage so I can give it another try.

 

Founders has growing pains, IMO. The larger batches nearly always effects quality.

These 2 have been effected for sure. I have been drinking both of these for years and the depth of flavors are missing, still both good but not as good as some older vintages.

 

It looks like the Brass Tap in Round Rock has it.

 

The 2015 KBS is on tap in South Austin- Whole Foods Market Arbortrails - 32 oz: $40.00 · Snifter: $9.00 .

 

Picked one up at Whole Foods Champions on Saturday during their 2nd Anniversary party. I had the bartender set it up next to an Prairie Apple Brandy Noir i was getting also back behind the bar. Someone comes over and ask if they can have it, said they didn't get any this year. Let him have it, I hope he wasn't lying.
