KBS Week 2017

Yep, but nothing there Saturday

KBS Day Saturday was a ton of fun. Had a blast and can't wait for the Black Party in April (where I'm hearing CBS will be dropping).

 

There is so much KBS at Meijer it makes me wonder if this beer is even special anymore.

 

I love this forum.

 

When people said that Founders brewed more this year, they weren't kidding.

This year I actually considered going the ticketed route and driving to the brewery.
Glad I didn't - I'm happy to have avoided the 4+ hour (round trip) drive and have been able to pick-up just about as much as I want. It may not be as rare as it once was, but it is still damn good and reasonably priced for what it is.

 

Yeah I definitely won't ever mess with tickets again. There's cases of it everywhere in kalamazoo today, and for the same price or cheaper than founders was selling it for. RIP KBS hype.

 

Any of these Meijer happen to be in Troy/Royal Oak area?

Have some friends there was hoping they could pick some up for me...

 

Every single meijer in michigan had it at 12pm today, limit 1 4pack.

I love kbs, and have done the ticketed release the last 5 years to avoid having to run all over town buying a bottle at a time. But there is so much kbs out there, driving all the way to GR is no longer necessary.

 

I guess I should have said that the release is no longer special. I still think it's a great beer despite now being a minnow among whalez. That level of production has to be challenging to replicate. And I'm sure founder's revenues are very special.

 

Just sayin....

 

Over hyped. Shelf turd.

 

A sight to behold.

 

Was that Okemos?

 

Brighton. But I think indicative of the volume meijer stores all over have been getting.

Bombers are still yet to come

 

Glad to see MI is finally getting well supplied. Definitely no reason for people to think the beer is any less good, though (at least not due to its availability).

 

Know of at least two GR stores that only got about 5 cases. Brighton must sell a lot of beer for that distributor. Meijer store #46 BTW.

 

That Meijer had an obscene amount of Hopslam in January

 

I bought mine there today too... they weren't enforcing the 1 per... I got two, but one of them is for some friends who hasn't ever had it.

 

I work at one of the stores in Kalamazoo.....We got 3 cases in today....After about 45min the managers said screw it and put it on an end cap.....Was suppose to make sure there was a one 4 pack limit....Well when I left there was still 2 cases left and you could have bought as many as you wanted.....Wish I would have had the cash....I split a 4 pack with a buddy and have a 750 on reserve....

 

Two is about what I like during the year. I grabbed a four pack for me and a four pack for a buddy. I didn't realize it was going to be this available this year... it's crazy.

 

Oh man, thats a lot of KBS! I know they said they made more, but I didn't realize it would be THAT much. That said, I'll probably still do the tickets again next year. Living in GR it was quite nice to have to put 0 worry into having to track down the quantity that I want (aside from the stressful few minutes of getting the ticket into the cart).
