$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

Oskar blues is good stuff, I'm still waiting for the liquor store to get in more Ten-Fidy. They said hopefully next month.

My Latest haul

kaisersozei · 04-01-2011, 08:08 PM

Thought I'd pick up a few Great Divide, before they leave Virginia...

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.

04-04-2011, 07:46 AM

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!

04-04-2011, 12:22 PM

Summerfest is one of my favorites for the summer

04-04-2011, 05:10 PM

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.

Coach Deg · 04-04-2011, 06:53 PM

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.

Stocked up on some more Bells Hopslam. The fridge is packed with 6 6packs now
