    Does anyone know why in (Hudson) WI this beer is consistently $15-$16/4-pack (it's $16 a the Nova right now), yet when it crosses the river to MN we get it for $12-$13? I don't mean to sound naive, but is there any reason other than that the WI dealers sell it for that price because they can?

    maybe so the stores can afford to be open on sundays.

    The stores in Hudson know they have the Twin Cities geeks by the balls, & charge accordingly. Chicone's used to be significantly cheaper than Casanova's for most things, but they've wised up now, too.

    Actually, I know nothing, but that seems reasonable. I do know there's some weirdness with the distributor in western Wisconsin & prices. Anybody remember the 1st release of Lift Bridge Commander being $26.99?

    I used to buy CWBBW and CWBBS for $10.99/4-pk back in 2010/11.

    There's an easy solution....just wait until it hits your neighborhood, and save some money as well:wink:

    I had one last night, and I've enjoyed it thoroughly since my first '12....but that first '14 was just amazing. I intend on getting more to join my vertical, such a great beer. Those CW boys sure know how to use a barrel.

    I plan on having a BCBW tonight to see how it compares.

    From what I hear, they had both BBBW and PM available for purchase at the Central Waters Anniversary Party last weekend, so I would think they'd both hit distro around the same time too.

    Has this hit the Twin Cities yet, specifically the west metro?
