    I was at the Total Wine in Fairfax City this morning - and the lady said they weren't getting them until Thursday (if at all)?

    Was at Total Wine in McLean an hour ago and they are capping it at 1 bottle. Will stop by again in the morning. They also had Sculpin bombers behind the counter and more Hopslam and Double Trouble.

    Super lame. I was waiting all morning and had my friend text me RIGHT when they posted it. I had my girlfriend call within 3 mins after that and it was sold out. Wow what a mess.

    Completely agree. Doing phone sales for something like this was the worst possible way to do this. Especially considering they only seemed to have one phone line. I started trying to get through within 5 seconds of the post, and tried for about 12 minutes, and when I got through, they were sold out.

    The way they handled this, combined with their dickish, know it all attitude that I have experienced both times I have entered the store, and every time I have called with a question has made me decide to take my money elsewhere.

    Wish I would have seen this earlier. Just called and they're out of stock. Got my hands on two bottles, but would liked to have got a four pack.

    Got some today at Total Wine Fairfax (1 per, 5.99), Whole Foods Vienna (2 per, 5.49), and Norms (2 per, 5.99). No idea if any is left but I guess it could be worth a phone call.

    I don't know why this seems to strike so many people as an inordinately high price. $20 for a four pack is essentially $9 for a bomber. How many barrel aged impy stouts do you know of out there that sell for only $9? Any? Add to that the extra benefit of being able to open just a single 12 ounce bottle at time (which is a fairly manageable portion size), along with just how good this beer is, and you can understand why it's so popular.

    Considering people are paying upwards of $100 for a 4 pack on ebay, I would say $20 is a pretty good deal. If you do buy some and don't think it's worth the price, I'll gladly take them off your hands for whatever you paid plus $$.

    K1 Beer and Wine got some in this morning. They only got 1 case I think with a 2 bottle limit.

    On another note Rustico Ballston has bottles of CBS going for $39 which for bar prices isn't all that bad. Semi random but someone might think it's a good find.

    $39 for CBS is a shockingly good price for Rustico. If memory serves, last time I was there they were selling bottles of Boris for $45. Pretty sure the normal retail price for Boris is considerably less than the price for CBS.

    S&S Liquors on the DC/Takoma border had KBS as of last night - but $30 per 4 pack. No limits, however.

    Ru
    Rustico does not have CBS. Bottle list is incorrect
