KBS in VT

City Market, Rt 7 liquor, Healthy Living, and Bev Warehouse got some. Looked like Rt 7 got 2 cases, City Market had 'none upstairs' there were about 4 bottles left an hour ago with no limit, Healthy Living got some with a 2 bottle limit.

 

I previously made the mistake of asking a Bevy employee if a particular IPA had been on the shelves long. The employee turned and asked the beer manager, who rolled his eyes, huffed 'not long', then began laughing with another employee.

The intent of my question was 'is this a new arrival', however, questioning the freshness of an IPA wouldn't have been out of line considering that the Bevy had eight month old bottles of Double Trouble sitting on the shelf at that point in time.

I spend a truly ridiculous amount of money on beer each week and haven't really felt the need to give any of that money to Winooski Beverage since.

 

Damn right. Similar experience here after I asked about this following my noticing that some seriously old IPAs were still on the shelves. I was just in Burlington for the day and stopped in there, I'll never be back. Too many other awesome beer stores to give my money to.

 

I know its a day late late, but Brattleboro, Rutland, Manchester, Essex, Randolph, springfield, bennington, and Richmond got deliveries yesterday.

 

Went to my local store, they were informed they were getting 5 cases of KBS...but they only got 4. The word the store owner got was that Vermont got too much KBS last year and that this year's allotment was DECREASED. I guess were not exactly prime Founders consumers, but it sucks with increased production that Vermont may have gotten less.

I feel lucky to have gotten any. I'm still going to dash around tonight and look for more too.

 

hard to be prime Founders customers when all their IPA's are out of date in VT.

Can't wait for FBS though

 

Store owner got duped. We got more kbs in vt than we did last year. Jus gotta know people I guess. I got a case just fine.

 

Jus picked up all day IPA. Not outdated. Stop bein a hater because you didn't get what you wanted

 

Whoa! Their spring seasonal is still fresh? Color me shocked.
Was it siting next to Centennial from 8/24 and double trouble from October?

Not sure what I wanted and didn't get or how I'm 'hating'?

 

Dammit! He plays it off like he's tight with the Founders rep too. Oh we'll. I'm already getting in touch with other places in the hope that I can get more. I got a case last year no problem, I'm hoping to end up with that again. This beer is worth the chase.

 

Yep. It's not bourbon county. But it's delicious. Did you mke it to farmhouse event? We def got more than last year. City market got 8. Bevy got 12. PSB got 6 I believe. Stores like USAVE had some. I think they got two cases. It was there 3 hour sago when my bro in law went.

I was gonna get more but I figured a case was enough and I would share with others that didnt get any.

 

If it makes you feel any better, no store in MA got more than a case, and most got zero. So there's that...

 

Seriously. Almost every other state only got enough for maybe 1 or 2 cases per store, and then people are only getting single bottle allotments if anything. And some people in VT are worried they aren't getting a case?

And that's not counting NH which hasn't even received any yet, and won't until next month.

 

Ah the joys of living in a state with very low population density...

Hunger Mtn got theirs today and sold out within a few hours at 1-4 pack per person. Richmond Market and Beverage still has at least 4 four-packs left, the manager offered to sell me the whole case ($18.99 each too!)...

Stowe Beverage said they got theirs today as well, 1 4-pack per person

 

What? Craig @ Richmond is my local, and told me yesterday they "don't like cherry-pickers coming in to wipe out the supply" so I was mindful and bought just 2 bottles so I wouldn't deprive any of my neighbors. Good intentions = sucker!

 

Weird, the cashier asked if they were limiting. "No limit. Get it out of here soon as possible. I'll sell you the case if you want" !

 

Craig's always bitching he can't get any Lawson's or HFB to sell - guess I'll have to have a chat with him after work to understand his "strategy."

 

Well I Guess not only do us Vermonters get the best beer in the country brewed in our back yard with easy access We also get more of a supply than other states of rare release. Love it.

 

For hill farmstead or anything in VT. Yes. Takes me an hour to get to any of them.
