call me confused . . . i thought that only came out in the fall, and only in 4 packs.
No clue, bought a six pack of it in Pittsburgh the same weekend I stocked up on Hopslam/Nugget Nectar. They were sold as singles so maybe they only do come in Four Packs normally?

My wife just grabbed another four.
Contemplating if i want another four on top of that. Maybe that's too much? This is one of those distinct beers you have to be in the mood for, so don't want too many. Had half of one last night, was yummy.

My wife told me she doesn't like the stuff anymore, that I have to drink whatever I get by myself. Oh, such punishment.

All i'll say is you have to look where other people don't.
And sorry to anyone who has missed out…I've already previously promised any extras I may get to a friend…

Dang!
Not too shabby - yeah I had a line on some more at the weekend but it was $30 a 4 pack and I really couldn't justify it
Did have an epic beer tasting at the weekend with (among others), 2009 GL Blackout stout, 2011 GL Blackout Stout, 2001 Barrel Aged GLBS, 2011 and 2012 KBS, GI Big John, CBS, Blushing Monk, Pliny, Curmudegeons Better Half and a slew of other stuff

Yeah, I managed to find ONE bottle. I don't have the time/energy to go to too many places, but might have stopped at four or five and I've struck out everywhere.

If something that I like a LOT is very limited in supply, and I've managed to find a good source for myself, why would I share it with a bunch of people on a message board and cut myself off in the future? What exactly is childish about that?

childish people running around looking for these "rare, hard to find beers" and even more childish people boasting about their "secret locations" that you can't know about.

Speaking of sharing, here's a good one for everyone:
?27 Mar 2012 18:00 - 18:00
LAST CALL: HOPSLAM + KBS + NUGGET NECTAR + SCULPIN at Rustico Restaurant Ballston
LAST CALL: HOPSLAM + KBS + NUGGET NECTAR + SCULPIN!
TUESDAY MARCH 27 | 6PM | BALLSTON
Some big superstars make one final appearance of the season this coming Tuesday in Ballston. We?ve hid, saved up and fought off packs of wolves to keep these kegs safe and bring them to you on one night. We just can?t resist any longer. No admission to join, and all drafts served in 4 oz. tasters and full glass pours.

I think it's pretty lame… A few posts prior you said you didn't want anymore of the beer yet you won't reveal where it can be purchased. And truthfully, unless the beer mecca is in a convenient location to my house, I'm sure as hell not driving to Burbia', VA to pick up a bottle of it.
Furthermore, how many posters are on here on a regular basis?? 20 max?? How many of them care about said beer?? Maybe 5??? Of those five, who will actually drive and seek out where ever your secret location is?? I'm going with 0-1 max.

Yeah, if there's anyone who's willing to send a little KBS love to a Marylander, LMK.

I'm gonna swing by this on my way to the airport - a little KBS will make a late night trip to Arkansas all the more tolerable

I told you where I found a second batch of Hopslam after you asked me. Just sayin'…
In other words, check your PMs
