KBS - Indiana Sightings?

A bunch of Indy Meijers put it out yesterday. Some Crowns will be releasing Saturday morning.

 

Chesterton, IN: Pat's Liquor got a ton of cases today. I only got a 750 and 12oz. They're so over priced, $20 for a 750, $6 for 12 oz., but I picked up a couple.
My town (Valparaiso) gets shipments tomorrow.

 

Over priced? Nah! Just typical Porter County pricing. Triangle and Trail should be a hoot! I think they were around $28 a four pack last year and made you buy another Founders product if I'm not mistaken? Happy hunting tomorrow!

 

Lucas the owner told me yesterday Triangle is getting 8 cases of 750s and 12oz. Should be easy to come by.

 

I'll be interested to hear at what cost? They have a monopoly on the craft scene in Valpo and aren't shy about it. I do most of my shopping in bordering states now because I've grown tired of the reinbeer games around here. Cheers.....

 

They aren't any cheaper in Chicago...but that's not saying much...

 

He did tell me there would be a 50-60 cent increase in each 12 oz bottle price compared to LY. I hear you tho.

 

Believe me, it's not just KBS pricing I'm talking about. Anything deemed 'rare' where they get a case or less is fair game. Distribution here is a part of the problem as well. It's a two headed monster! The lack of competition keeps things inflated.

 

I may stop in tomorrow for entertainment purposes!

 

Thats cheaper then in Pa, alot cheaper!!

 

Triangle had cases and cases stacked. 4-packs: $24.99, 750: $21.99. I bought one 4-pack and that was enough. I spent over $50 the past two days on KBS and got 5 beers and a 750. As I get older I appreciate the Lagunitas of the world (value) over just getting anything at any cost.

 

Yeah, I saw them for $22 today. I know it costs more in other parts of the country, but $20+ for 2+ beers is enough. Better off leaving the 750's on the shelf: 12 oz. is $6 (50 cents per oz.) and a 750ml is $22 (87 cents per oz.).

 

That's reasonable as their prices go for a limited release. Perhaps the 'cases and cases' aspect removed the 'rare' from the equation this time? I hear ya about the Lagunita's value, just wish they shipped more than one or two cases of High West around here. It was a chore trying to assemble a six pack that ended up costing more than twice what other markets were paying. Cheers to the fruits of your labor!

 

Overpriced? Uh, $24 is how much Founders charged for a 4-pack I do believe, and thats the standard price everywhere. $20 on the bomber is also good, I believe they were $18 at Founders. Big Red is doing $25 for a bomber! Why would anyone even buy a bomber....thats basically only 2 bottles. Thats a $40-50 4-pack!

 

This is correct on Founders pricing at the brewery.

 

That's a pretty illegal thing to do. Surprised shops are still doing that.

 

Just some semantics, but a 750 is not a bomber. 750's are more than 2 bottles at 25.4 oz. But yes, you're correct, I priced each bottle per oz. in an above post, and the 750's are a huge rip off. But bomber/750 format always has been. So, yes, $20 for a 750 is a rip off. So is 25. I still bought one 750, but turned down the opp to buy many more.

 

Nice price! Where was that at?
