$20 for a 4 pack of KBS vs. $10 a 22oz of numerous beers is not a bad deal. If KBS was a $10 bomber you would probably hear "Great price on such a great beer" even though it is more per ounce.

I can make amazing beer, very cheap. Sorry if I come across in any bad way, I don't mean to, there's just a lot of things people don't consider in the cost.

I agree 100%, you didn't come across bad at all. I think my own "nano-brewery economics" ;) factors in to my purchase decisions probably more than it should. I certainly appreciate that DFH, Avery's & Goose Island have a lot more carrying costs than I do, and that comes out in the bottle prices. They're not necessarily unreasonable, it's just more than what it would cost ME to make what I consider to be equal quality product. I'll drop the cash from time to time, just to give my tastebuds a work out, but at $20/4pk, I really have to think long before pulling the trigger.

I think we're pretty much saying the same thing, so it's all good :tu

The Yeti stout series is really solid stuff. I prefer the Oak aged, but they are all good. And you gotta love the price too.

Yeti is some good stuff! We've had a few bottles of that magically disappear at our house. :)

We did some beer shopping this past weekend. Picked up sonme new things to try. A couple randoms that we've never had before (Rush River Nevermore, Tyranea Black Hawk Porter, a Southern Tier coffee stout, and a couple others), and the wife found a place that had some Founders KBS in. Unfortunately, they were limited to 2 bottles each (yes, 2 bottles, not even a full 4 pack). So we have a couple to try and then lament on how we can get more, and anxiously wait until it comes back out again. LOL

2011 Summerfest came out last week!

Summerfest is one of my favorites for the summer:tu

Made a stop on my way home to see if a shop had any KBS in, but they didn't. So I walked away with a 4 pack of Tallgrass Buffalo Sweat (I blame you, replicant_argent) and a bottle of something I know Erin loves: Rochefort Trappistes 10. :)

Not a haul, but close. The Tampa Bay Rays have set up micro brew stands in the Trop. Openning night I had two Cigar City Jai Lai( I was driving). The second night I had a Cigar City Maduro, 2 Colorado Vanilla Porter( never heard of it, but it was great), then had a Jai Lai, and finished the night with a Purple Haze.

That Vanilla Porter would have been soooooo good with a Cigar!!!! I am alraedy on the search for it.
