    I got 2 bottles at Blacklick liquors. Not sure if they had a list, but I came in asking about Ohio Stouts for a friend who lives in MT (he can't get Founders anything so I was grabbing him some imperial as well). The guy helped me out, I bought a few things then he says"Have you ever heard of KBS?" I said I had heard of it...next thing I know the guy comes out with two bottles. I thought that was pretty cool.

    I reciprocated and brought him a Heady. It was the least I could do.

    I have an extra KBS if anyone wants to do a small trade in cleveland area. Looking to try a bottle of BCBCS if anyone has an extra of the 12 oz bottles.

    Yeah it is, I'd actually be splitting it with my buddy as well so looking to score a bottle. Appreciate the offer though!

    If you really want a bottle of KBS you can have one at Studio 35 for $10 at the bar but I would wait till it's on draft at the few places named on this forum.

    Dairy Family on Kenny and 5th had a case just sitting on the floor. I had a friend stop by but he was too late. Someone saw it and probably was overjoyed.

    Wow, I don't know why I thought all the excitement was this coming week. Guess I am glad though. I went to Founders, got a couple of 4pks but would have been running from store to store just to get a little more.

    I didn't get any KBS this year, but to be honest I didn't really try. I did, however, ask about it at my local grocery store after work on Wednesday. They said their case was sold within 10 minutes. No real surprise.

    Another guy asked for KBS while I was there, then asked for beers that are like it. He was pointed to Dragon's Milk and indicated that he'd never heard of it or tried any other bourbon stouts. Dragon's Milk! He'd never heard of it! But knew to ask for KBS...

    The key going forward (if you don't want to chase trucks and time deliveries) will be to stay content with year round beers of excellence or keep ahead of the plebe curve as long as you can.

    Had little thought of getting a bottle of KBS this year since I didn't want chase it earlier this week. I went into a store today to grab a six pack and when I was at the counter I asked out of curiosity how long it took them to sell out of KBS, to which the clerk responded by pulling a bottle from a box behind the counter and added it to my purchase. So if you haven't landed a bottle yet, you still have a slim chance!

    THANK YOU...I can't comment on the taste & I am a Founders fan but ANY of these hype machine driven beers are just ridiculous not to mention the retail stores, especially the little ones working the customers over.:astonished:

    I got two bottles from Whole Foods in Dublin, and that's easily enough for me - I'm more interested in hunting Black Note when that drops.
