Double Dose in NJ

I had it last year and thought it was very good but geez, breaking up 4 packs like it's KBS or BCBS and selling it for those prices is ridiculous. And having to hunt this down is even crazier.
I'll stick with my 4 packs of Dirtwolf for $7.99.

 

I just picked up a single for $5.50 right outside of philly. Had a couple left. Was expensive but wanted to try it.

 

Is this stuff liquid gold?

 

This is at Local 44

 

Grabbed a 4 pack in Caldwell today. Like $17-18. They got 2 cases.

 

I forget, how much does a bomber of Double Sunshine go for at the Warren Store?

Trying to get a perspective here.

 

seriously. I just avoid Founders IPAs at this point; NJ didn't get Double Trouble until a month after bottling, while Centennial always seem to be old here. Lagunitas Sucks arrived over a month after bottling as well.

hopefully Double Dose is fresh upon arrival.

 

That's the damn garden state for ya

 

this beer doesn't taste even remotely the same as last year...smells a bit like it but not the taste
i really wish i didn't say that.......but i did

 

Double Dose was about 2 months old when it came in last year. It was a tragedy.

The first batch of 32 oz Sucks that was released September 25th was dated 237. A month old.

Though I did buy Sucks last Thursday that was dated 267. Making it a whopping 10 days old.

 

I don't look at Centennial all that often, tbh. But I distinctly remember buying a 12 pack of it on opening day this year and it was less than 2 weeks old. Maybe I just got lucky though.

The Double Dose I have was bottled 9/18. Being that it just came in to the store yesterday, it could be fresher. But 3 weeks isn't bad.

Oh, and I have a 32 of Sucks in the fridge bottled 9/24 that I bought on Monday. So less than 2 weeks old when I bought it. Maybe I'm just getting lucky with these examples, but it seems like I'm not having the same problems as some of you are.

 

I was in Vermont a couple week ago and grabbed a 4 pack of this. Think it was less than 15 bucks but I don't recall. 12-13.99 maybe?
Wish I had bought a few. I actually grabbed it on the way out of a liquor store. Stores up there were putting limits on it. I can vouch that it is very very good. Don't think id pay more than 15 for a 4 pack but I'd spend 4 bucks on a single to give it a go.

 

Saw it last Friday at Shoprite in Wharton and passed on it cuz I was in a hurry....idiot!

 

Just bought the last 2 4-packs at BuyRite in Jersey City. 15.99/4-pack. I believe they got 2 cases too.

 

went to five stores and can't find it anywhere in Morris County. guess that ship has sailed. damn. last year I remember it lasting until December around here. guess the secret's out.

 

just found some at marketplace in east brunswick. They said they just got it this week. They are limiting to a bottle per customer, but they got a lot of other goodies in today so it turned out to be worth the trip.

 

Just had it on tap at Brick Wall in Asbury Park.
