    Same with CW bourbon Barrell Stout. It's not quite KBS, but much easier to find.

    South Lyndale tweeted they were releasing their allotment at 5PM Friday, limit 2 bottles. Go get in line. :slight_smile:

    Correct. I think this, like many other limited releases, is more about the hunt, then the actual product. KBS is good, but is it twice as good as Peruvian Morning(or others)? Same thing can be said for Darkness, etc

    They had a one bottle limit and were sold out within an hour or two.

    Like mentioned before, not even worth the drive for one bottle.

    It was worth my time just to check out FF today. The guys were apologetic and very nice when they heard we were interested in KBS. We both found some great bottles not available to us and left very happy. Great shop!

    There will always be more KBS next year, but for now local brews!

    I got two bottles at Princetons in Maple Grove at 2:30pm! They still had some on the shelf.

    I will be buying a ton of PM when I go through Wisconsin next week. I won't have to waste gas driving to stores to buy one $6 bottle of beer. Yayyyy

    I was fortunate today. A four pack each of KBS, Peruvian Morning, and Central Waters BBBW all in the same store.

    Went to about 10 stores, saw the last 4 pack go out the door at Big Top. Nobody else had gotten any. Seems like the distribution is staggered. I picked up a nice haul of great beers and found a hidden gem of a liquor store so the expedition was far from a waste.

    Got a bottle at Cellar's Eagan around 5:00 PM, they had a 1 bottle limit and there were a few left.

    They had a lot of good stuff there today. I also got Footprint and Alaskan Birch Bock.

    If you try either the Footprint or Birch Bock soon, I'd be interested in what you think. Had both in hand today & left both behind.

    I posted a review for the birch bock. It was mediocre, like SN life and limb.

    I got two bottles from Dennis Brothers tonight. Going to try getting to a couple stores that told me they are getting it tomorrow but I have a 3 hour class in the morning so that might be difficult.

    None taken, had some free time, made a loop around my house, about 15 miles total, found a great new store and had a great time. I don't even like KBS that much, it was just something to do.

    KBS was delivered today. I bought two bottles at Princeton's in Maple Grove. I also called the two distributors for Founder's and they both told me they were not allowed to deliver KBS before today so anyone who claims to have seen it before today is mistaken.

    I also know personally of at least one other store that will not even put it out on the shelves. You have to know the owners or employees to even know that they have it.

    Mmmmm, I loved Life & Limb. I'll interrogate you tomorrow if you show up.
