CBS Bottles in NJ

All the stores near Asbury have said they don't know when it's coming in. BCBS just finally dropped yesterday so who knows.

 

anyone know of anywhere close to metlife stadium?

 

Just got one wegmans Princeton. Thanks to @gardenstatepkwy

Not sure how much is left

 

I was there last night after the post and asked, they said they didn't have any.

 

I find this is a big issue when these places hide the goods in the back. There have certainly been times I had to ask several people because the initial person I asked told me they didn't have it or never heard of it when I knew for a fact they had it. (not CBS but other beers in the past)

 

Wegmans in ocean has CBS, maybe about a case and a half left. $25 a bottle 1pp

 

I used to work in a liquor store. We frequently did this to people who we hadnt seen shop there before or didnt have cart/basket/handful of items. We didnt horde it to ourselves but yes we certainly lied to some customers about availability. We'd rather please repeat customers or people buying a decent amount at that time than people who would only come around once or twice a year. Just my two cents, i never take it personally if im in a liquor store i dont frequent and they do this. But yea also good to ask another employee as there is a chance they have no idea what youre talking about. My coworkers were certainly in the dark about 90% of beer items.

 

So you prefer that they put it all on the shelf so that the first guy through can buy it all?

 

this is a reason why i would not go back to your store

 

That happened to me at Wegman’s Princeton the year Vanilla Rye came out. It still hurts haha

 

Bottle King Chatham has bottles on the shelf...$22.99 I think. I only bought one but didn't see anything about limits.

 

Joe Canal Lawrenceville sold out.

 

Just got mine at Cranbury Buy-Rite. 25.99

 

Anyone know if this is being distributed in kegs as well?

 

There are places in NY that have it on draft, so I am pretty sure it is

 

If you only go there to look for hard to find beers why should they care?

 

Right. I was told by one place that they stopped posting Carton new arrivals on social media because the whale hunters would come in, buy it, and never buy anything else. Places definitely should not require purchases of anything else to allow someone to ourchase, but if something will sell out anyway, no need to make it easier for people that only want that one item
