    I'm in South Jersey and hoping to score a couple bottles of KBS this year. Has anyone heard from stores when they'll be receiving it? The official release date is Monday, March 30th but none of the stores I go to receive Monday deliveries.

    Maybe I'll visit my usual shops tomorrow and ask around.

    Not on Hunterdon's release list for this week.

    I'd suggest checking your usual stores for a reserve list.

    I was told by a store owner it was coming next week.

    EDIT: And by next week, I mean this coming week.

    Hmmm... Hunterdon does distribute this.

    Hits the founders footprint starting April 1. Google is your friend.

    Google doesn't seem to be your friend: "KBS will be available throughout Michigan beginning on Monday, March 16, and throughout the rest of our footprint beginning on Monday, March 30."

    Though it will be available throughout their footprint on March 30, it doesn't necessarily mean that is when stores will receive it, thus my question.

    KBS will be gone as quickly and suddenly as when it appears. We have better chance of spotting the jersey devil than bottles of KBS at stores.

    I won't be chasing KBS this year with all the Sunday Morning Stout sitting around in NJ stores at a fraction of the price.

    You asked "when's KBS landing in NJ?" and that (indirectly) answers your question. Places with Hunterdon deliveries this week will likely get them on their usual deliveries days.

    This is by far the most KBS NJ has ever seen for what it's worth.

    4 packs won't be sitting on shelves, but it won't be nearly as difficult as in years past.

    Yeah I stopped going crazy for KBS awhile ago. Just not worth the effort. Especially when we get BCBS now. And man what a surprise Sunday Morning was. Had low expectations as all their beers are typically average, and it is awesome. And cheap. FOr what it's worth I heard founders sold a case to anyone that purchased 10 cases of breakfast stout. Pretty funny cause the store when they first got breakfast stout gouged the crap out of it at $17 and now that they ordered so much to get the kbs, it's at 8 now. I find the whole thing humerous.

    Yeah I have seen it for $14 or $15 a 4 pack in a few places. (Joe Canals sells singles for $3.69 and KBS usually runs me anywhere from $7-$9 a bottle.)

    Still gonna try and get a bottle or two of KBS to do a side by side with Sunday Morning but not gonna go crazy trying to hunt down bottles just to pay $8-10 each the way I have in the past

    Really? Im in Bergen and it went so fast around here. Got a 4pack but havnt found any since. I am in total agreement though. So many good BA coffee stouts now no reason to go haywire over the hype-beast that is KBS.

    Yeah, I've bought three 4-packs of Sunday Morning Stout, but haven't tried it yet (gave up beer for Lent); I'm hoping it lives up to all the great reviews. Still, I'd like to score at least one to two bottles of KBS to compare.

    I've confirmed from a couple local shops they'll be receiving KBS with their usually weekly delivery.

    There's just no chance Sunday Morning Stout, as good as it might be, is going to stop anyone from buying KBS. Yes we know, hype and all that crap, but the truth is KBS is a fantastic beer and while Weyebacher makes good beer, they will never make anything that compares to KBS. Ok you might not chase it, and I respect that because beer chasing has gotten ridiculous, but if you see KBS and SMS at your local store at the same time, are you honestly saying you won't buy at least a bottle of KBS in lieu of SMS? I don't think so.

    You keep you're SMS and leave KBS for the rest of us.

    If I see some, I will get maybe a bottle or 2. But I won't try to get a ton with SMS around. I know thats a small sample, but it definitely affected my purchasing decision.
