So, Royal has this Leinenkugal Imperial Stout and you have to ask for it at the counter. When Miller beers are getting the super rare (get on a list/ask at the counter/blow the manager) treatment, have the stores jumped the shark? I guess you could do the same with BCS and that would be an Inbev beer but Leinenkugal ain’t GI and Miller has owned them longer than any of us have been drinking. |
Kick and Clutch should finally be out on the Kansas side tomorrow. Glazers only got 32 cases so it will be slim pickins across the state. |
Originally posted by JohnF if you are talking about Big Eddy, that is a really good beer (or at least the previous batch was, that was a few years ago). |
Sure, but there are hundreds of good beers. Why not make a big deal over Blue Moon Grand Cru next time that comes out? |
Because Blue Moon Grand Cru sucks. Next question. |
I have no earthly idea why I am rising to the bait on this, but here goes..... |
Originally posted by theisti I do not think there is a win win any way you look at it. But I agree that the sun needs to be blocked out. Cork and Barrel on 23rd in Lawrence has done a great job. The beer sits in a corner away from any windows. On top of that, there is a motion sensor light that is off if no one is in the area. |

John, would you prefer no notifications and just sort of slide it out on the floor? I like the notifications though I would prefer they just keep a fairly current beer list like a number of stores do (though I’ve learned my lesson on expecting stores in KC to offer the same level of service as those on the West Coast). It’s the seemingly arbitrary decisions on which beers are too special to be put on the floor. Leinenkugal stout, behind the counter. Fantome, right out on the shelf. Seems silly. Of course there is probably more demand for Leinenkugal stout than Fantome among KC beer geeks and that is the true benefit of living here so I should just be happy. |
John, this is Brad, the beer manager for Royal. Leinenkugal Big Eddy RIS is behind the counter because it was allocated to us. We received 2 cases. Fantome is on the shelf because I can buy multiple cases when it is available & demand is indeed lower. In the end there is no perfect system or way to please everyone, but feel free to contact me directly if you feel you have an issue, I am here to make the store better. As for the windows on the Northern wall, I couldn’t agree more. I can assure everyone I have been fighting that battle for 10 months now. Not everything is as simple as it sounds & unfortunately I do not own Royal. I am however confident that the tide is turning in my favor & the issue will be resolved. To everyone that has made Royal a regular stop, thank you & again feel free to contact me. I will do my best to keep improving our stores. Cheers! |
