    I just can't understand the huge price difference in coffee between NYC, Brooklyn and now LI. Clare Rose got only 20 cases of Coffee and distributed them to their top accounts. I picked up 2 coffee, both at different stores, both for $6.99. How in the hell are they getting this $12-14 price tag (and justifying it) for a single coffee, especially since they got 3-4-5-6 times as much as LI did?

    Simple. The city distributer charged the stores more. Its the only place in the country that's selling bottles for $14.

    If anyone is looking for BCBS, my local grocery store in Williamsburg has a ton of it for $24.99/4pack. C-town on Graham and Metropolitan. For reference, they sold a few 4-packs of BCBW for $29.99, but one of them on the shelf was full of BCBS, so check the bottles before buying a 4pack.

    Do you know if cases are still priced at $151 out the door? IIRC, that was the price on BF.

    What's scary is these higher price packages seem like a deal when all the major beer outlets in your area got 1-2 cases tops of regular and every 5-6th store saw a case of bw.

    my best guess is that the coffee and vanilla will kick tonight. rarer beers usually go pretty quick there.

    Yea, I'd like to know also, I'm probably going to be there at opening. Can someone post later on in the night if it kicks?!

    if youre into trading, you should just trade it and have it on draft... people are offering ridiculous things for it!

    i may stop by RnH later tonight (live 2 blocks away), and will post then.
