    These are my thoughts as well. First wave always sells fast. There's a lot more Nugget Nectar to come. Let's all exercise some patience before we rush to judgement on a Nugget Nectar shortage.

    (hoping there is plenty more to come) :astonished:

    See above. It's gone now. They should get more. I think it was a little more than $40, too.

    i agree...im kinda worried that i wont be able to find any today after work now. last year there was tons of it all over philly for a couple weeks.

    KBS is going to be a complete shitstorm this year...i dont expect to be able to find the amount i usually do anymore.

    KBS is a joke. Two years ago, you could get a case, if not a few 4 packs. Last year, it was one 4 pack if you were lucky. This year, I think it's going to be single bottles..

    KBS last year (for me) was having to ask the beer guy to go get one bottle from the back. :astonished:

    I've decided not to even bother with KBS this year. IMO, it's not worth hunting down especially for the price some people in NJ charge for it now

    it was already going that route in NJ last year. i ran around for a week to about 10 different stores all over the shore/central area. i ended up getting a bunch of bottles, but i wont have time for that this year. plus i expect it to be even harder in philly.

    i would just say "forget it" altogether but its still one of my favorite beers so i'll have to at least try.

    Didn't know total wine did that. Could be more beneficial than running up there to see what's on the shelf. Just wonder how often the inventory is updated.

    Mine in Wilmington, DE has it. 10.99 a 6er according to the site.

    Total Wine in NJ still gets their beer from Hunterdon. It'll hit there next week just like all of the other stores in NJ

    I just tweeted Union and they said they're getting it tomorrow and that it will start shipping around NYC early next week.

    Does anyone know of any places close to the NJ/PA border that would have NN now so that i could grab some for the weekend? i'm talking about somewhere with easy access off route 80/46/78 (north). I don't know, just a shot...

    you know i called shangys and they guy told me that he doesn't think they'll have enough to last till Saturday! i work m-f so i wouldn't be able to make it till the weekend. i would have thought they'd have a big enough supply to last till the weekend but i guess not.

    According to the website, it's currently on tap at Al's in Enola. Would assume they likely have bottles as well.

    Would like to find it on tap here in Baltimore as well... if bottles are available now at the Wine Source, I have to think draft accounts should be getting kegs as well very soon.
