    Thanks seems like a lot less got into the city this year. An employee of Beer Works in BK said they got 10 cases of coffee last year.

    In Bellingham Washington, BevMo received two cases of 2013 BCBS, limit one 4-pack per person. About $30 per 4-pack. My wife and I bought one each. CoOp received a few cases of 2013+14 BCBS. $6.50 per bottle. I ended up with 14 bottles of BCBS.

    Anyone know of Vanilla still in NYC or the Boroughs? I was able to get BW/Coffee/reg' but no Vanilla. Have car, will travel (and trade).

    this is not true - my food coop had it and they sell everything in the store at the same markup from wholesale (i want to say 21%) - it was $21 for a 4 pack of coffee

    I'm inclined to believe different retailers were charged different prices based on how much business they do. That would explain the cheap prices at places like WF, which routinely sell beer for cheaper than any where else, and local shops having to charge more because they paid more. The guy I just got my coffee from said the price he paid doubled from last year and he seemed honestly pretty pissed about it.

    Windy City Ale House in Bay Ridge (3rd ave between 79th and 80th sts) still has all variants on tap (plus a ton of bottles of Coffee once it kicks on tap).
