    Has anyone been to Mug and Jug for KBS. They were steep at $7.50 a bottle last year. $15.00 this year.

    I have been an occasional customer there for over a decade. The son is taking over from the dad and he just lost at least another decade of me shopping there several times a year for his short sighted greed

    Never heard of this place as I don't live in MI, but $15 for a single bottle of KBS?!?! No words...

    Similar pricing at another store in that area, Paradise Liquor in Ferndale... pricing on their normal beers is fair, example Blushing Monk @ $15.99, but they wanted $15 for single of KBS today, sorry love the beer, but that's just pure and simple price gouge, passed on their KBS single as already have some lined up at much lower price.

    I hate paradise. 300$ for lot b this year. No offense but gouging seems like a culture thing....

    Wilder road party store in bay city was 9.29$ a bottle limit 2, that's stupid. Everywhere else about 6$ a bottle maybe a bit over that.

    Euclid party store or Wilder ? I stopped in Euclid this afternoon and the guy said he was sold out. I called Wilder (Traxler's) and they said they have some and it is priced at 9.29 a bottle. I passed!

    If you are willing to stand in line, you can get 2 bottle limit for $5.50/bottle @ Holiday Beer Market in Royal Oak tomorrow after 6:00 pm, posted on their FB page.

    Hey everyone,

    This is Vinnie from mug n jug. First of all, I don't appreciate the false accusation that I am selling KBS for $15 a bottle. I don't even have the shipment yet. Moshea, I'm very disappointed in you.

    Cheers everyone!

    I know what you told me Vinnie.

    Vinnie. I'm equally disappointed in you. Perhaps more so.

    Cheers everyone!

    I specially said that I am not sure what the price is yet. I was ball parking it. You got upset very quickly and stormed out. I'm sorry for the argument, but you can't expect every store to have the same price. I understand your frustration and it wasn't my intent to upset you. I apologize. I will save you a bottle at a reasonable price once I get the product in and an invoice in front of me.

    Cheers!

    OP, you realize you don't HAVE to buy KBS from this store, or at all right? There are lots of things I don't buy because I can't afford them, and I almost never whine on the internet about it.

    In moshea's defense, a $15 ballpark is enough to make anybody spew hot coffee out of their nose lol.

    OK, I was going to be private and beermail you this but here you go, I asked twice, you answered 15 bucks each time. I asked why when you were at $7.50 last year. You responded that was your fathers pricing and you were there now. You then said KBS was special

    Lots of gougers out there Vinnie you ain't the first and you won't be the last.

    Good luck young man.

    You spoke very clearly, I understood you very well. I am glad to hear you lowered your price. 10 is still steep but 15 is outrageous
