    Grabbed some today, so they still have it...the Cowiche Canyon Organic IPA is solid too!

    When I was there I asked how many cases were left and they said about six.

    I was there around 7:30, same answer. The guy also said they only had ~60 cases total.

    Looks like most of the shops around me (Eastside) are doing 1 bottle limit on this. I didn't see any at Whole Foods Bellevue (btw they got 120 Minute still in stock for 9.99 as of yesterday) or Total Wine yet.

    Roosevelt Square Wholf Foods had KDS this morning for $17.99. Seems silly when I can just walk to the brewrery and get them for $15 flat.

    Speaking of Whole Foods, they also got TONS of Brux in today. Picked up two bottles at $15 each.

    Good news. One I've been looking forward to. Should be pervasive - for a while.

    Just like Collage, there are numerous cases around the store.

    Just got back from the brewery where I picked up a couple.
    They said they were down to their last 2 cases.

    This thread has produced some pretty good intel. FBC released 50 cases of KDS @ the brewery on Friday June 29. With 2 cases left as of this evening, it has sold at a rate of 3.2 cases (or 38.4 bottles) per day.

    Don't mention Collage :slight_smile: I drug my wife & friend to Deschutes brewery for the release, made them stand in line so they could get their three bottles each. When we go into a store and see the display of Collage she says "I really hate that beer". (We were in PDX for more than Collage) - the upside is I paid $11 each no sales tax compared to up to $13 + tax here so it wasn't a complete waste of time.

    And yet you could still go to Whole Foods Westlake today and pick up four or five cases. And if you'd gone for their 20% off sale you'd have paid less than $10/bottle after tax.

    P.S. shame on you for drugging your wife & friend.

    Especially considering the price @ the brewery is a flat $15 (either no sales tax or sales tax already included, not sure which). After tax that $19.99 looks more like $22/bottle. Glad I was able to get some @ the source.

    I have a love/hate relationship with SDM because of their prices. Did you see how the bottles of KDS were sitting next to dusty bottles of B-Bomb?

    It's $15 w/tax included.

    Hype hype hype!

    Let's see Freemont put out a RIS that meets my standards that doesn't have it's flavors masked and obfuscated by bourbon and oak, that is a tell of true skill to me. (I know KDS is not a RIS, but that is how I judge greatness).

    --not dry
    --not over carbonated
    --full and thick body
    --roast, chocolate, and residual sweetness that work together and not in opposing ways!

    And B-bomb
    and BBQ
    and BB23

    It's the place to B!
