    I was glad to find my local store selling 4 packs for $20. I love the stuff, but it's not worth more than $20 and less than 4 bottles is just a tease. I'd have passed if there was a 1 bottle limit. Manager said they got 4 cases and it looked like they still had at least 2 cases left yesterday afternoon.

    Shitty price gouging place in my hood has it at $12 a bottle. Had it on tap last night, 10oz for $10.

    $22.99 here in Central Wiscosin. I was surprised to find it today. It was released Monday and there were 3 4-packs left. I guess the liquor stores in town each received 4 cases this year.

    Picked up KBS at 3 locations in MA. Prices were, 5.20, 6.50, and 8.99 per 12 ounce bottle. Quite the range.

    My buddy, who will remain nameless, paid $48 for a four pack at Grand Central Station, in NYC. Yes, they were overcharging.

    Maybe stores get a lot more in Illinois, but I am so appreciative of the 1 bottle limit everyone in my area seems to have. Total Wine is the biggest and best stocked store, and they only got one case this year. It would be pretty shitty to only let 6 people get it. Stores here are very quiet about it. I was lucky enough to call the evening before, and they told me they just got it in, and weren't selling until 9:00 am the following day. They had it on a cart, covered with a tarp along with a few cases of Enjoy By. The manager, with a straight face, asked everyone which one they wanted. They really want to make sure it gets to the customers are actively seeking it out. Stew Leonard's was a bit strange. I called after work and they told me they had a few bottles left, first come first serve. The manager eyed me for a while saying he didn't know if they had any left. Then he asked if I called, and eyed me suspiciously when I told him I called 20 minutes prior. He took a good 10 seconds deciding on whether to get it for me, and said he would go back and check if they still had any. No idea what his issue was, very strange.

    Starting to land in the Mom and Pop stores on the north side of Chicago. $9 a bottle at one store and $10 at another... :slight_frown:
    Oh well, at least they had it and it wasn't a zoo.

    Was able to grab 2. $5 a piece. Cheaper than a single of Dino Smores.

    I found one for 37.99 a 4-pack yesterday around here. I did not buy it, since I've been able to get it at Binny's and Whole Foods for $22-24 per 4-pack.

    I picked up a 4-pack at Wegmans for $19.99. I was expecting much worse.
    My local bottle shop is holding a few for me, and I'm afraid to see how much they're asking, since they're usually pretty expensive...anticipating at least $7 a bottle.

    In general it's much harder to come by than Backwoods Bastard. I got a case of Backwoods with no trouble, so far I've had to be crafty to get 4 bottles of KBS.
