There's a new beer bar in da Region called Brewfest, and its a place where you pour your own beers, based on a debit account that you create when you first check in. Beers are priced on a per ounce basis, so the more you pour, the more you pay, and the individual screen for each beer shows what the per ounce charge is for that beer, along with the ABV etc.
So, last night at bowling SuperHoosier tells me early in the night that he was going to swing by there after bowling because they had tapped KBS. As I'm leaving the bowling center, he tells me it's already gone. So, I know the owner, and heard today that there was nowhere to park, and nowhere to sit. He also said that he priced KBS at $1.10 per ounce. Most beers there are priced between $0.30 and $0.40 per ounce. The highest priced beer I've seen there since they've opened was a framboise at (I think) somewhere in the $0.70 per ounce range. But, he tells me that people were pouring full pint glasses of KBS. That equates to about $17.00 per glass or thereabouts.
To me, this is sheer madness. Its evidently an uneducated boob who doesn't know, or respect, the beer that they are consuming, and only knows that they've heard of the elusive KBS, are first in line for KBS, and they're going to get their belly full of it. That much KBS equates to over 3 standard drinks, which (I'm guessing) that aforesaid boob drank in 15 minutes. Or less. Do that once, and you're halfway to a DUI; do it twice, and you're there. Stoopid.
That much KBS should be enjoyed in a snifter glass, and over an hour or so.
