    so much respect for Mr. K's. They continue to be the best in Orange county by far.

    You score a Fundamental Observation?

    I assume that's what that meant too. I hear there were more people in line than there were bottles before they even hit the shelf. Not sure why BL would release that info.

    its not that i scored one, just the way they handled it via socials. very respectful and considerate in the way they approached this release and how limited it was. just blown away by how much they care about their customers and the community, and I will forever be a customer of theirs based on this alone (not even mentioned how good of dudes they are and how well they price their products)

    Yeah, that is weird. Why would they create a mess at someone else's establishment.

    What exactly did they do? I only saw posts after they sold out.

    I happened to be there on my way to pick up at the Bruery, and there were a couple dudes standing around and Mike said something about Bottle Logic posting something. So Mike kinda got bumrushed. I was ready to walk out with a bottle of Billionaire until I realized Bottle Logic truck was 5 minutes away. There were like 7 people there when it arrived.... I totally got lucky.

    did you read the post? also -- they could have easily gouged on the price for this but were fair and honest.

    Yeah, hey BL, how about not creating a shit storm at other stores? I mean, I already got mine, but it just seems like a bad idea to only give a case to each place and then create a line nightmare that they can't possibly fulfill

    Yes. This post? I wasn't sure if I missed something.

    Sorry for jacking pic of Fundamental observation from ‪#‎Bottlelogicbrewing‬ instagram page. I normally take my own sexy pictures. Unfortunately I didn't get a chance to take a snap since we were sold out. We had people waiting in line before we even got the beer. Sincere apology from ‪#‎mrksliquor‬‪#‎cheers‬

    I second this. When I saw them announce the stores that were receiving deliveries I immediately began banging my head against the wall and kissing goodbye any chance I may have had to score a bottle. Oh well...

    well dont forget there were multiple people hounding bottle logic on social media asking which stores were getting it. Its not their fault. They didnt even specify which stores it was. God, you guys will bitch about anything

    This is what I was referring to @BeerBaron666. Just bc people asked doesn't mean they had to provide the specifics. It catered specifically to the truck chasers.

    Two weeks in a row, Prairie "Bomb" on the shelves at Whole foods in El Segundo. 10.00 for a 12oz bottle and I picked up two. Really enjoyed it. I usually only find Prairie's Saisons on the shelves so this was a surprise. Also found at the same location was Lost Abbey's, Agave Maria. Had it on tap at a local restaurant (Mediterraneo in Hermosa) ...It was incredible so I had to pick that up, Too. Not a bad rare haul.

    Bomb! Is becoming a shelf terd. Bevmo in orange had 12 sitting on a shelf and a couple days ago there was 4 cases at hi times. And they removed the bottle limit.

    Bomb is an excellent beer but at $10 for 12oz it's going to sit once everyone has tried it a few times.

    Yep. And I could swear it used to be closer to $5(maybe not in CA) or $20 a 4 pack in states where you can't buy singles.
    Edit:
    $6 in OK.

    Distributors must tack on a big premium.
