Im guessing strict limits of a 4 pack per person, but ive seen them get waived before

Curious how people made out today for KBS, I had to work until 3 and then saw premier was sold out and didn't feel like driving around to various consumers to hunt it. I heard the line started two hours before sale time anyway. Hopefully my fellow Canucks who made the journey didn't strike out.

I drove down today - had been meaning to do a run for a while so ended up coordinating it with the KBS release. I got to Premier at 2:15 and was about 15 people back. But by 3:00 the line extended well into the wine/liquor side of the store. Not sure if everyone in line was successful in getting a 4-pack.

I didn't look elsewhere for KBS but went to the Sheridan Consumers beforehand for other stuff and they had a sign posted on their door stating that they had not received any KBS.

got there at 2:40.
only saw 1 person from the line not get a pack.
a couple of stragglers came in and some loose bottles were hidden behind the counter for them.
otherwise, the shelves were pretty thin today.
still managed to drop $100. sigh...

cool, they must've had a lot of cases this year which i gathered anyway since they upped the limit from 2 to 4 compared to last year. congrats on the haul!

he had some loose KBS. didn't see anything else and didn't ask many questions.

not sure, though, if you're also referring to the top-shelf beer behind the counter. same old stuff there

very reliable sources have told me to not buy any of them.
lots of the Black Damnation releases were infected (lacto or pedio).
trust me: i was tempted to buy one. Black Damnation V goes down as a top 3 beer.

Wrong thread or extreme homerism?

Wrong thread! Lol. Was supposed to be in 'What are you drinking?'

Looks like the Octopus got the better of me.

Good to know because I likely would have bought one my next trip across the border. $45.99 plus exchange is a bit much for a potentially infected beer.

Buffalo apparently got more KBS in yesterday. no clue if they sold out (Premier Gourmet)

Heard from a couple Buffalo locals that Perennial 17 is at Premier, as is their collab. Saison with Prairie. a Pizza Boy sour has been popping up at a couple stores in Rochester as well.
