Twin Cities Bottle Hunt

Puggle - a beer drinker's dog....

 

What are people seeing for pricing on the Mexican Honey 4-pk cans?

 

any plead the 5th on shelves yet?

 

So was Vanilla Rye pretty much just a queef in the breeze or what?

 

What I heard it was a fluke pretty much. There were a few cases for events, but a keg or kegs made it so the distributor got it and only a few top accounts got just 3 or 6 bottles. Sounds like most stores were very quiet about it, only giving it to their top customers or first come, first serve with no real announcement.

 

Anyone still seeing big luscious hanging around anywhere?

 

Red Lion had some on the shelf as of last week. saw it somewhere else but dont recall where.

 

G-Will in Brooklyn Park had a ton last week, along with Harvest and Black Rye.

 

MGM Woodbury has a few bottles.

 

Midway Liquors just got a small ammount of BCBCS in. You're welcome.

 

Enigma at Nova.

 

For those with a lot of money burning a hole in their pockets:

"Abraxas and Sump will be available to be consumed in The Nova at 11am when The Nova opens tomorrow. Abraxas - $46, Sump - $36"

Casanova's/The Nova have always been on the pricey side but...holy shit.

 

Lake wine got some CWBBBW in 2day along with Space Ghost , Zipps got both yesterday

 

whats the normal shelf price on the two?

 

I saw that too! They did respond that it was the "standard 2x markup" for serving in the wine bar side of Nova. Similar to what restaurants do when marking up wine. Not that I am agreeing with a $50 bottle of Abraxas!

 

Casanova Liquor ‏@casanovaliquor 1h1 hour ago
"@mikeboeve @tree_fidy yes standard on premise mark up. Retail would be $18.99 and $23.99 if the store was allocated any."

 

CWBBBW seems to be dropping all over this week. Hard to overstate how good that beer is and for $12-$13/4pk and enough to go around, it's almost as if it's not worth chasing $25 bombers of super-limited BA beer...almost...

 

those 'on-site' upcharges are pretty ridiculous. makes me not want to shop there anymore. i occassionally snag something there and pay their 'convenience fee' for them having beers not available relatively nearby, but some
of their prices are quite laughable.

 

They were sold out when I called at 6

 

DeVine posted that they also had it. otherwise, wouldnt be surprised if Spirit Seller still has it.
