Message bmoosey beers 82 º places 1 º 12:19 Thu 4/3/2014 Originally posted by AdamJackson Funny thing is, he apologized to me, "Dude I’m sorry but the kegs are sixtels only. Do you still want it?" and I’m not bragging here, just saying that it’s not that hard to get. Or maybe Vermont once again lucks out on beer releases? No clue. Sounds like you were just in the right place at the right time!
Message GH734uKzl beers 702 º places 1 º 13:09 Thu 4/3/2014 I am going to chime in on the raise the price argument. While waiting in 60 person line for 2 bottles, I posited the question, "How long would this line be if the price was $11.99 a bottle?" Most people thought about half as long. I would probably have still stupidly bought 2 bottles. Universal consensus was, while under those conditions KBS wouldn’t sell out in 5 minutes, it would still sell out in a few hours. Consensus was that this year was significantly crazier than last year, which was significantly crazier than the year before.
Message mikem409 beers 2032 º places 251 º 13:12 Thu 4/3/2014 lets say production stays the same on KBS will this continue to worsen year after year or will it reach a point where KBS is not "cool" anymore and it will decline in popularity?

Message blklab2007 beers 2121 º places 17 º 13:18 Thu 4/3/2014 I personally don’t bother anymore. It is a nice beer to enjoy a bottle of but not near worth the trouble to get.
Message Treebute 13:58 Thu 4/3/2014 Korgers(Grocery store) beer rep was followed around the store by one individual for 2 hours until their shipment arrived. It was a one bottle limit.

They purchased their own 1/4bbls and 1/2barrels. They stopped using them well over a year ago.

Message bottleforager beers 3211 º places 63 º 14:43 Thu 4/3/2014 Luckily the little shop I work at is mostly off the radar... we got a case. I took a 4pk and spread the other 5 to regular customers who had asked if we were getting some. A few of the larger stores in the Portland area did raffles for two bottle limits at 5.99/btl. That being said we got about 20 phone calls and had a good amount of shelf stalkers coming in eyeing every inch of the store where beer is hidden...

I’m not a keg expert but what I have says 7.75 gallons and sixtel is 5, right?
