    In an FB msg they sent me they speculate that there should be plenty available, and more will be made for down the road.

    KBS would taste good out of a toilet bowl.

    Me too. That other picture wasn't very good. I am liking it more in Rizdac's pic.

    I agree. It looks better empty.

    This new pic gives a better idea of what the glass looks like, thanks.

    def a little shorter than i though, but i like the bowl size better via this pic...

    Any idea if they're attempting to have enough to last through the weekend? I won't get there until Friday and was hoping to score a pair of these.

    I wasn't impressed by the looks of it online, but I knew when I saw it at the brewery today I would think differently. I really like the glass! Bought a few of them. $8 each if anyone didn't know. To me looks a bit like those Bourbon County glasses, just a bit taller. Do I think they could have been WAY more creative? Yeah, but trust me, they are cool once you see them in person.

    Needs more padding on top of the "Highly Acclaimed" text (too much design for me today).

    I don't know if it's an appropriate glass, but give me one and I will tell you.

    FOR SCIENCE!

    The glass is much better once you actually have it in your hands. Their Facebook pic made it look like a large goblet, which it isn't. I was there around 11:30 and there was no limit on the number of glasses.

    Definitely liking the glass alot more now when seeing it empty instead of the first pic.

    Besides the original KBS glass this might just be my new favorite of their specialty glasses.

    Nope. Also asked about the tap list for Saturday, which elicited a "It's a surpirise!" from the guy handing out the KBS.

    Is pretty much everyone buying these? I hope some last so I can pick one or 2 up online (if they make it) unless someone wouldnt mind shipping to me :slight_smile:

    Not trying to start an argument or create the "I hate Founders" hysteria but it would be really cool if Founders would give each person a single ticket with their allotment good for 1 glass (even a sample size) of KBS. I get they want to save it for the party, but obviously we all can't make it to that. I support Founders and am driving there and back from Chicago same day to get some
    KBS, it would be awesome for me to get a fresh taste off of a keg. I love the ticketed release system, but would like to try it from the source as well.

    the second picture is much better. looks smaller, which i like. i was going to avoid it, but now i'm convinced i do like it. here's hoping it online for sale.
