I'll tell you one of them is the Noble Grape on Chicago Avenue, they have a 1 bottle limit...

I need an estimate (please). On the ebay/black market/after market for KBS. How much is a 4-pack worth?

Is it so good that it is worth $70 for a 4-pack? $100? What is a fair price to pay when you consider the scarcity, etc..?

Direct from the Brewery = $19
Minnesota = $17 (damn you, ama)
Chicago = $25ish - people are paying like $30ish second-hand.

are you really seeing prices for $70 on eBay???

Nope, it's originally priced at $19 a 4-pk at Founders, after it hits distribution you are usually looking at $22-25 at most stores, although I was told by a friend someone paid $30 a 4-pk yesterday. No beer is worth that much IMO, if you really want to try one, I'll just send you a bottle if you cover the cost of shipping. I'm just waiting for my Michigan connection to get his lazy ass down to Chicago...

That would be great. Let me know. Very nice of you.

Even a single bottle would be fine. I know that KBS is a VERY limited commodity.

I want to compare KBS to the other stouts I have had (Breakfast Stout, Bourbon - Goose Island, Stone Russian Imperial, etc..). I would like to see how storing the beer in a cave 100 feet below the ground will enhance the flavor.
