    I got two BAs as well. They still have some left. They needed to get labels. Sounds like a case plus 4 bottles left.

    Very refreshing. Pucker tart with faint hop hint. Worth stopping by for sure

    Wow - I stopped at Shadyside GE after work around 7 to pick up some Double Trouble and Citrusinensis. The line was about 10-12 people deep. I waited for a while and there was no throughput whatsoever. I saw the guy behind the counter working to pour a draft and it took at least 5 minutes! I put the beers back and left. They are just not equipped to handle any type of rush hour - like what I imagine must often happen on a Friday when people are getting off work. It was odd because the rest of the store wasn't especially busy. You would think they might shift an extra cashier over the beer counter during high traffic times. Oh well. I'll certainly go back, just not at prime time.

    So not just a marketing ploy? :stuck_out_tongue:

    Sorry, I'll look into it. That shouldn't happen.

    I appreciate you doing whatever you can, Randy - you can only control so much of what goes on there, I'm sure. GE, especially yours, is still doing a wonderful job overall.

    We all know randy does a good job and he can't control everything at every time. I work at a chain restaurant and ppl tell me everytime they have a problem at my store r any store. And for randy to be on here daily and hear good and bad can wear on u at times.

    That's shockingly reasonable for them,

    This is the same place that sells 120 Minute and KBS for $20 a bottle.

    Great to hear. Do they have bottles or just on draft?

    I didnt see bottles which is weird because the original picture lists 22oz bottles.
