    I also ran into the 1 12oz bottle limit on the oracle and was disappointed they weren't at least in bombers but it was a good solid dipa but an hours worth of driving for one little bottle left a sour taste in my mouth

    How much was one 12 ounce bottle? Surprised a big chain like that even had the ability to sell a single bottle broke down from a six pack. I'm a missing something?

    I support the selling of it because in Arkansas we get such a small amount of the great beers , also when you find a beer like Prairie Bomb that is 8 bucks a bottle I really do not want to purchase 4 to see if I will enjoy it, but I guess it doesn't matter how I feel because our good friends at the Arkansas ABC are now enforcing an old law that no one has paid any attention to in years

    yes, would you be happier if the store let you buy all the KBS (or whatever) at $25.00 a bottle?

    I understand the point of it but I'm sure not going to make a special trip to the store to get 1 12oz bottle.

    Devil dancer came into my area with a limit of one per person...it was still gone in ten minutes. What good did that do? It has nothing to do with nothing. These guys are breaking out singles in order to increase their profit margin, that is all. Problem is they have hit the limit of what the buyer is willing to do for the product. I won't buy a single twelve ounce, at insane prices. Stupid is as stupid does. I'll join the home brew crowd.

    ..and I know that isn't what they brewery had in mind when it brewed the beer. Most of the brewery owners I've met wanted people to buy and enjoy their beer. It was about open sharing. What this kind of action tells me is..."I don't want you to buy my beer, you are not special enough for my beer". If they wanted it to be sold as singles then they should put it in bombers...simple. If you have such a limited supply as a brewer, that you know it's going to cause a problem, and people are going to wind up being told they are not special enough to buy your beer,,,just put it in bombers already...problem solved.

    I work at a TW, in Va so if ya want I can hook it up, and the issue becomes I get a single case or maybe 2 and if I dont give the limit the whole case is bought by the first guy that sees it, same goes for three bottle limit. 24 beers does not go that far. I got 5 cases of Enjoy By today with the one bottle limit it was gone in 5 hours and there is still going to be plenty of a headache on the weekend for the 100 or so people that did not get one from me. Yes to the limit but get to know your beer guy or gal most of the time that limit is for the general public.

    I'm fine with it...that way the beer gets shared around to more people to enjoy (and I support that).

    From now on no one is allowed to buy a six pack ever again. From now on you can only buy a single 12 ounce beer.

    @ 2.99 a bottle, or 2.59 a can...if you prefer.

    I support it vs. many alternatives, especially the no-limit free for all, but I don't think it is best.

    While I'm at it..you are no longer allowed to buy liquor in amounts larger than those little bottles they give you on the airplanes...because I say so.

    ^^^No shite, like I'm supposed to be able to get every beer I want whenever I want it...talk about entitlment. There are some beers I can't get. I accept that. I'm not willing to travel half way across the U.S. to get it. As buyers...if we just used some common F'n sense once in a while...oh good grief this is stupid....Oh this is gonna piss me off every time I think about it. If you buy a single 12 ouncer off some local store at an inflated price you are the problem.
