KBS-NC

Indeed, this is my first experience with KBS.. Very nice, very smooth for 11%ish... I am a happy camper right now... weeeee!

 

Vintners in south Charlotte had some as of 30 minutes ago. 2 per person $14 including tax.

 

Sam's was selling a single bottle of last year's KBS with each 4-pack. Pretty cool.

 

And that's why they are the OG bottle shop king.

 

Anyone know if any of the Total Wine in the triangle have/will be getting it?

 

Went by the one in Cary at lunchtime yesterday and they said they were sold out. Can't speak to any others.

 

Brier Creek had 3 left as of 6:00 last night, but they were "verbally" accounted for. It was first come first serve, so I'm sure they're out.

 

The Hop Yard is selling at 7:00 tonight. 1 bottle per person.

 

That was the Bottle Shop that was selling last years. They only had 4 cases of this year, and ran out less than halfway through the line of people who were waiting (and they didn't bother to warn anybody that they had so little). At least they sent us losers over to the Quik Shop, where getting a ticket guaranteed you a 4-pack.

 

I think I'm confused.

 

They released it at 4 at Sam's Bottle Shop, ran out after the first 24 people, and then told the rest of us to go to Sam's Quik Shop to get some. I'd be interested in knowing how much the Quik Shop got, since there were a ton of people there and plenty of KBS to go around.

 

I'm with you now.

 

They'll hold onto some and randomly throw them on the shelves as well.

 

ONLY got 4 cases? That's a lot more than other stores get.

 

It's already gone. North Hills got some but it was gone by 12:00 yesterday.

 

1st Street Draught House in Winston tapping their keg tomorrow (Friday) night.

 

TW on high Point Rd had a few bottles as of noon or so, most places only got 1-2 cases max. Pretty spotty distro as always. Managed two bottles without trying all that hard, only Bestway sold by the 4 pk sold in 7 minutes. Great beer imo.

 

That TW location had two bottles left on Friday morning but had sold them by the time I was able to get there.

 

If I'm remembering correctly, the TW on Battleground got two cases and the TW on High Point Rd only got one.

Pretty high demand for the stuff around these parts. Hopefully everyone that wanted a bottle was able to snag one or two.

 

Don't think this years batch is as good as ones in the past. got a hold of Sunday Morning and it was hands down better.
