    I am putting a feeler out there to see if anyone knows who is going to be getting individual bottles?

    I just saw a tweet from Buddy's Brews on carson and they are getting a case. Anyone (hopefully a few) want to split it? Really looking for 2-3 bottles.

    I'd go in on some. I'd like multiples. 2, 3, 4?

    We still need a couple more. They posted they are getting it within the next two weeks. Not sure if they will reserve it. Anyone know the owner?

    I'm in for 2/3/4 bottles as well. I don't know the owner, but I had asked them to call me when FMB came out, and never heard back. Don't know if they ever got it or not.

    I'm just curious, how much would a case of this cost?

    I would guess $150-200 after the distributor marks it up and before tax. Anybody know how much bottles were at the Founders release day?

    I think they were going for $23 a bottle on release day. Only 12 in a case, correct?

    Yes 12 in a case.

    I might be in for a few. I could let this thread know within the next day or so.

    It might be even more than $200 a case before tax. Maybe $200-220ish a case after Buddy's puts his mark up on it

    I'm not familiar with Buddy's prices, but yeah, this is easily going to cost 200+. I'm interested to see what he charges.

    My favorite beer distributor is Duffy's in the South Hills, which is very close to my house. They have by far the best prices in the city. Excellent selection, but I doubt they'd be getting this.

    Favorite thing about them is they have their price, and how many cases they have in stock on their website.

    That's cool. Pretty good selection.

    I live 30 miles east of the city. So prices around here are very reasonable at local distributors and at my buddy's pizza shop Dommy's in Vandergrift. Cheapest bottles maybe in western PA.

    I always go to the wholesalers for not so limited stuff. But the super limited stuff of course goes to bottle shops, bars, and lastly beer distributors. So obviously I can't get super limited beers from the wholesalers.

    Your buddy's place has a monster beer selection. Next time I'm out that way, I'll definitely check it out. Does he do good business?

    Anyways, I'm going to bed man. Gotta get up in 5 hours. Take it easy.

    I think we have enough intrest on here to take care of a case. I am waiting to hear back about reserving it. I'll let you guys know.

    I'd be down for 1-2 if anyone else backs out.

    I work two blocks from this place...stopped over at lunch and was told that he's not taking any reservations on that case. So either you guys already got to it or he has other plans...super nice guy by the way.
