Can't believe anybody would pay that much for it. There are bottles of Westy 12 on there for $24.Curly J;1180425 wrote:$25.00 a bottle. DAMN!!! )

Does anyone subscribe to any beer mags? I've been thinking about getting the Beer Advocates magazine.

I've had a sip of the Westy 12 before. It would be worth every bit of that. I loved the aroma. Very complex on the nose.
I would not spend $25.00 for a bottle for KBS. It's not as good as the Westy 12. (IMO) That and I do believe it's harder to get the Westy.

I wouldn't spend $25 on a bottle either. Honestly I'd think about buying the KBS again. I probably would to keep around and have one on a special occasion, but honestly there are beers I like more and would rather have that are $10-$13 for a 4/6 pack.Curly J;1180560 wrote:I've had a sip of the Westy 12 before.

I might not do it regularly, but at least once, I have to try it.BORIStheCrusher;1180547 wrote:Can't believe anybody would pay that much for it. There are bottles of Westy 12 on there for $24.

That's how I felt about KBS. $23 for a 4 pack is pretty steep and wouldn't do it regularly. But once a year I'd def buy one.O-Trap;1180562 wrote:I might not do it regularly, but at least once, I have to try it.

I read for a limited time they are going to sell gift packs in the US to bring in a little extra cash to keep the monastery going. Some time this year but I don't know what the distribution will look like. I'm assuming it still won't be easy to get, people will be hoarding it.Curly J;1180560 wrote:I've had a sip of the Westy 12 before. It would be worth every bit of that. I loved the aroma.

The Wife subscribes to All About Beer and recently subscribed to Draft Magazine. I believe that's what it's called.
I just follow many on twitter that has to do with beer.

Bourbon Barrel Aged Dark Lord w/ Vanilla Beans by Three Floyds is going for like $400 a bottle (22 oz) on eBay.
Also, the word on the street is Founders is brewing and selling Breakfast Stout all year long starting this fall. Before it was only sold from like Dec-Mar or something like that. Since they use the Breakfast Stout to create KBS, I'd assume it will increase the supply of KBS as well.

I can't move, and I am in Mansfield a couple of times a week the Kroger's over there sells it, so I will have to keep buying it there.

Not sure, but Russian River is available to order on letspour.com but they do charge an arm and a leg to ship it to you.Sonofanump;1180715 wrote:What does the RR pliny go for?

West coast and Phily; think I looked it up earlier in the thread. I was lucky enough to meet someone who brought back a few bottles from Cali and got one.Commander of Awesome;1180782 wrote:Where in the hell can you find one? I've never seen one in the wild.

If you go to Russian River's website, they literally have like Excel spreadsheets with every single store that sells it. It's pretty sweet.Sonofanump;1180859 wrote:I'll be in Phily in July and plan on trying to find some somewhere.

Buddy of mine just sent me a pic of St. Bernardus Tripel. It's a belgian Abbey Ale. He said it was terrific. I looked it up on BA, it rated a 97. Have any of you ever tried it?

I haven't. I really like Tripels though, so I'll keep an eye out for it.

Had some Troegs for lunch yesterday. The Smoky Bones in Picktown has them on tap.
