Bourbon County thread (NJ PA NY)

Just want to confirm something that was listed earlier, but Bob and Betty's on Eastern Pkwy and Franklin Ave. in Crown Heights still has like 6 cases of BW for $13/bottle, no limits.

 

Check out C-Town on 28th Ave - they still had some cases as of Wednesday on the floor next to the Coke coolers. Limit reg 2 per person.

 

Thanks. I'll scope it out!

 

Shout out to the guy who bought a bunch of bagels and offered to everyone on the line - Classy guy

 

Sadly, it happened so quickly and quietly that nobody really noticed until it was too late. Karma always comes around though.

 

That really does suck. Hopefully he will be the "12th" person sooner than later. That's worthy of knocking his second allotment out of his hands. If that guy didn't get what he waited for then asshole shouldn't either.

 

Ended up finding regular bcs at a convenience store. ..24 hour mini mart on queens Blvd and 64 Ave. 10.99a bottle. They had like 3 cases left

 

Here's my observations from Orange and Dutchess Counties in NY. I work in two different locations, opposite directions of each other, so I have several stores I can stop in without going out of my way. A couple of stores I've never stopped in before, but saw this as an opportunity to check them out.

1 place had regular for $9.99, but it was not on display. It was behind the counter on the floor. I just happened to see it while milling around the store. This is a place I pass almost every day but never stopped at since from the outside it doesn't look too promising. And this appears to be correct assessment. They do have a decent selection but it looks like it's been on the shelves for some time. They still had some Vertical 08!

2 places had regular for $11.99. I stop in these places regularly. One place said they were only able to order two cases and just the regular. They also said this is the really the first year they've had people ask about the variants.

1 place had regular for $14.99, I passed it up. This place I haven't been in for a few years. Their selection has improved greatly, but their prices are high on just about everything.

1 place had at least one bottle of rye left for $27.99, I passed it up. It was bought while I was in the store. The regular sold out there on Friday. This place is one of my regular stops.

1 place had none, said it sold out on Saturday. I think they also were only able to get two cases of the regular. They put a one bottle limit on it, but observed at least one person bring mules with them. They weren't too happy about the situation. This was the first time I stopped in this place, I pass it once or twice a week. They actually have a good selection, the people were nice and their prices are the best I've seen in the area. I'll be stopping in here more often.

 

Milk and hops just posted they got RR in, presumably a case. 1pp. Doors at noon.

 

It says regal will be available only on tap. You can get growlers similar to the ABC event yesterday. It doesn't say there are bottles

 

You gonna bring a growler with you for regal or coffee on tap?

 

Nah, they just posted on Instagram they got a last minute case of RR.

 

Just an FYI, Vertical 08 is an encore series that was re-issued by Stone in September of this year. More than likely, it's a "new" bottle.

Just saw it. Thanks for passing along the info

 

Shit! I did not realize that was you, Jason! I was 6th in line, looking hungover AF.

 

Possible, but a lot there seams to have been on the shelf for some time. I did see some 2013 best by dates.

 

Haha, can't believe we missed each other again. I was the dude that looked like a lumberjack.

 

Anybody know if WF Bowery has BW? Will be in the area and if they have it I'd like to save a couple bucks.

 

I cracked a BW the other night, I think it's highly underrated

 

Bowery only has regular left. Milk and hops has it though and that's not super far from there
