good deals

Cool story bro.

 

Jesus, how hard is it to read the label on the bottle when you're typing something like that up?

 

This is blowing my mind right now. Half of these bottles are selling at or below COST. They must have lost their buyer and didn't know how to sell it after or something? It makes zero sense that the same place that would know enough to bring in those bottles would have zero understanding of the beers or how to sell them.

Reminds me a little of a story I heard from a rep at Maletis who found an account in one of the deeper suburbs (I think it was an elks lodge or something) that had ordered a case of the Deschutes/HotD Conflux and hadn't moved but one bottle a year later (hardly surprising, considering the location/audience). He traded two cases of Bud Light for it (!!) and drinks one of the Conflux every few months. I've been able to taste a few and they are have been pretty spectacular.

 

Glad I'm not the only one scratching his head over that. "You knew enough to seek out and order those beers, but didn't know how to move them in your market?"

 

Where is this place?

 

It says Bottle Beer Special Tuesdays on what you're holding. So sounds like they do it every Tuesday.

 

Looks like it's somewhere family friendly, as there seems to be crayons behind the beer beer glass in the pic.

 

Interesting, always nice to get beer at cheaper rates. I know I'm hoping to score some 120 minute for 2 bucks again.

 

Another good reason not to post the name of the place is the WSLCB. The Tuesday specials won't be around long if those folks find out about the pricing...

 

Huh, they never seemed to affect the pricing of beer, just liquor. At least from my experience living in WA.

 

IIRC, we have a rule that must be a certain minimum mark-up (I think 10%) from wholesale. There are some legitimate reasons for some of these rules (eliminate favoritism, fights against collusion in pricing, etc), but yeah, a place should be able to blow out old stock.

 

There isn't a 10% rule that I've seen in the code, but there is a rule stating that no alcohol can be given away or sold for less than wholesale cost.
