    Seems like some of the people around here are mentally ill.

    Anyway, I'll be happy with 2 bottles of KBS this year.

    I hate to beat a dead horse, but there was no switch. Did Founder's have cases of regular Breakfast Stout or Imperial Stout for the same price as the KBS? No they did not.

    I didn't go to this release because I knew it would be nuts. I may find a bottle or two in Chicago to buy and I will most definitely find it on tap maybe 3 or 4 times.

    Also, complaining about beer releases is the absolute definition of white people problems.

    Why doesn't Founders just go brewery only with KBS? I say that as somebody who "loses out" on it, but it's already spread so damn thinly that the people who end up getting it are those who play the "new release game", not necessarily those that support Founders all year long. Just feed it to the locals IMO.

    If that's the case then go the other direction with it - no brewery sales. My basic point is that I feel like when you try to make everybody happy you end up making nobody happy.

    I had a great time with great friends drinking great beer all night and day. I think it makes perfect sense to cut the allowing in half and completely agree with Founders decision. Kzoobrew really made my day and it was great meeting new peeps. Happy I got bottles, and BA Sumatra Brown was off the charts delicious. All around exactly what I hoped for!

    I was right around the low 300 mark. I would have received my full case, but it ended a couple people down. Now am I happy that I got some KBS, yes.


    However, I just wanted to say Fonders anticipated the bigger release because they purposely printed 600 tickets. Not 315 plus 20 for people standing in line after the fact. 600 tickets. They understand there was a strong situation for a half a case. Just wish they would have said that. Still love Founders for any employees reading, just need change for 2013.

    Ahhh, my friends in the early 400's. great times and great pours yesterday. Dan I'll try not to bother you too much for some good local stuff from ya...... thanks again for the great beers guys and I'll bring some whale-ish shit next time we have the chance, sorry for insulting my 400 friends with new glarus thumbprint beers in a sea of Barrel Aged delicious-ness.

    I did enjoy that. And I must say it was gracefully done.

    The guy sleeping in his own puke was disturbing. I really hope his friends came back for him. It was definitely amateur hour with him.

    I'm pissed that I missed that... I had went up and talked to him and Stoutfest earlier. Kzoobrew expressed his disappointment that I did not bring a Unicorn costume with me.

    Those must have been the donuts sitting in the box near the back of the building that my roomate very seriously considered eating until he could see the dirt on the donuts. haha

    Why did it take so long for "DonutGate" to start on here?

    And why has Kevin (also known as "kzoobrew", "MoM", "MoMBA") been so quite on here today? :wink:
