KBS 2016: CT Lookout Thread

CT Beverage Mart in New Britain - $6/bottle limit of 2

 

Total Wine in Milford got 7 cases

 

Price check? And are they releasing it today? Trying to gauge for the Total Wine near me.

 

Casually walked into Total Wine in Norwalk, CT at 8am today and grabbed a 4pk for $19.99.

About as much work as I'm willing to put in for KBS at this point.

 

$20.99 they released it at 8 and there were already about 20 people there

 

High Spirits in Providence announced about an hour ago (so around 10:30 on Friday morning) - two bottle limit (more or less across from Nikki's in the University Heights Whole Foods plaza). I don't know the price since I really don't care about KBS one way or t'other, but figured I'd post the PSA.

 

Kay's in East Hartford: $7, one bottle limit. Yikes.

 

So I see they haven't changed their ways.

 

I think max beverage is the winner, here. $9/bottle!

 

Farmington or West Hartford? How much? Honestly, I don't have too much problem with price gauging. Gives me a better chance to get the beer even though I'm in the office all day until 6 tonight. Supply and demand...that being said it should be Founders gauging the price on their best beer, not the package stores. Make a great beer that flies off the shelves, Founders should be the ones getting the huge margins.

 

Agreed. The person at Total Wine I talked to said "the season starts April 4" and she expects it will be available by next week.

 

Grabbed the last 4pk at Crazy's in Bristol. They have 2 singles left on display.

 

My local place in Boston said they are supposed to get their delivery on Tuesday.

 

Patrick: Farmington, though I'm sure the price is the same at both places.

Looked like they had about a case and a half left at 11:45, 2/pp.

Interesting note - last year they were also selling single bottles for $9, but after people complained they said it was a mistake in their system and it should've been $6.99 and offered refunds. I wonder if that's happened here again. An odd coincidence, if that's the case.

 

Grabbed a single at Crazy Bruce's for $5.99 an hour ago. They also had fresh Pour Judgment on the shelves and Captains Daughter behind the counter. Hoping the CD isn't infected like the last batch I got a month and a half ago. Drain poured them

 

BottleStop in Avon, CT listing single bottles for a cool $9.99. No thanks.

 

If that means it stays on the shelves until 6 PM, I'm buying...does that make me a bad person?

 

Nope, they know the demand is there. Some may choose to pass, some may feel it's worth it. Free market at work.

 

If we're talking about the 2/12 batch, I don't think it was infected. I think they just screwed it up somehow. I had a 4pack and it just tasted different, not infected. I've bought it at least twice since then and there haven't been any issues.

 

Doesn't make you a bad person, but if you have a chance to get it elsewhere, I'd go there first.
