    Agreed, but if no limit you know some cheese dick would go buy up all he could and resell for twice the price. Does Pumpkinator ring a bell???? Damnit Houston, quit ruining it for everyone else.

    Makes sense - I have a pretty healthy beer budget and no room to judge how people spend money, but the principle of that is just a little frustrating to me

    Anybody see any out there still? I'd be willing to pay $20 for a bomber (would prefer 12 oz bottles).

    You can check with the Total Wine in Willowbrook, not sure if they sold out. I only saw one box behind the counter, but they might have more

    Totally agree - one tool would ruin it for all.

    Honestly, I probably wouldnt complain if it were one 4-pack/customer. That seems reasonable.

    But breaking up the intended allotment is annoying. 4-packs a 4-pack. Let the customer enjoy the 4-pack.

    Yea I had Bellaire Whole Foods limit me with a single 12 oz bottle. It was nice to at least be able to have it last night as I would not have had it otherwise. However, it's annoying that I gotta go hunt more down today to enjoy down the line.

    I didn't bother to hunt it down this year, if I run in to it then I'll buy it. Last year was my first time trying it and it's a solid beer but as mentioned above there's so many options that are as good.

    When Bell's black note hits Houston, I'm willing to hunt that down being I've never had it and heard great things about it.

    I'm OK with bottle limits in most cases. Most stores only get one case. What is that, six 4-packs?

    Less so with price gouging. $7 for a single 12oz...Love ya', Specs, but come on! Simple economics I suppose...

    Singles were $5 at H-E-B out here in the burbs of Fort Bend. What was WF's asking?

    Whole Foods on Post Oak was asking $6/12oz bottle x2/customer. That didnt entice me.

    Stumbled upon it at Central Market on Westheimer & Wesleyan selling it for $5/12oz bottle x2/customer. I took that deal!

    HEB Lake Jackson had it for $18.75 per 4 pack. No limit. Sadly it's sold out now. Still on the hunt for bombers
