  OB beer...worst.beer.ever. For most if the time I was stationed in South Korea we couldn't get ANY American Beer off base. With about 4 months left before I left there the started selling Bud off base.
  
  My beer of choice over there was San Maguel Pale Pilsner followed by Carlsburg when I could find either. Most of the time it was just shots of Soju or whatever could get us drunk quick.

  Just throwing it out there, but Strongbow is a pretty terrible cider.

  Saw Founders KBS at Valley Wine Cellar for the first time ever yesterday. $20.99 for a 4-pack. Damn. Didn't pick it up because I wanted to pick up several beers and didn't wanna spend that much money. Is that the average price for that?

  Yeah that's normal price but it's worth it.

  I think the classic Euros and Belgians, and far superior to the Asians.

  Oh Soju I had a night with you that I'll never forget. Jesus that shit messes you up quick.

  Go run a Tough Mudder...which is nice for GFY. (Just kidding)
  
  I have a can of it every now and then when I want something different. I prefer the Harpoon cider. I find with cider a little goes a long way meaning after a couple of them the flavor changes.
  
  I brought 2 KBS with me to Kentucky on vacation. Guess we'll have them tonight. We actually brought quite a few beers with us, but have only drank wine and champagne to this point.

  I bought the 4-pk of KBS today. Not sure when I'll drink 'em. May just admire the bottles for awhile. Grabbed some more Bell's Two-Hearted and GLB Doppelrock, Wholly Moses White Ale, Burning River and Flying Dog In Heat Hefeweizen as well.

  Having some Hoppin' Frog Turbo Shandy that I picked up yesterday right now. Pretty damn tasty.

  It wasn't bad. The place I went to was out of sierra nevada which is my go to beer. So I went with the latitude over guiness. More alcohol per beer!

  Sharing a KBS in the Hills of Kentucky with The Wife. It's room temp and it's awesome. We still have plenty of the beer we brought with us and just might stay another night down here.
  
  Edit: I'm bogarting the second bottle of KBS after she went to sleep.

  If you have any KBS left after you're back in Cincinnati, and you're willing to part with one for $5, I'd like to try it.
  
  Also, when does CBS come out?

  A couple weeks ago, I tried that newer (I think) Sierra Nevada. Torpedo or something like that. Good stuff. Packed a punch.

  I have Seven bottles left and I won't sell any...but I'll set one back to give to you. I don't roll with selling my beers, but rather give it away for people to enjoy. Plus if it don't live up to the hype then you get what you payed for...lol.
  
  I promised Dey one and I'll make sure to set one back for you. One of these days I'll make it to Hyde Park as I'd like to try out a nice bar there.
  
  As far as the CBS I'm not sure. I've never seen it in Ohio, well at the Jungle at least. If I hear anything I'll let you know.

  And Pants I'll PM you tomorrow with an addy. I might have it shipped to my Moms house as delivery people can't get to my front door of my Condo. The outer door is locked...that is if the offer is still good after my last slam at ya.

  Gonna try Stone IPA sometime this week. Bought it yesterday at Bevmo but didn't get a chance to drink it and I'm on duty today.
