    NEBCO commented on the their own Facebook post from earlier: "IST should be in stores Thursday/ Friday"

    That is a pretty quick turn around if they will finish up bottling tomorrow.

    Yes on bottle sales. IST will be available tomorrow. Coming in 500ml this year, so by my math, you're getting about 30% more per $.

    Some made it on the truck today, so should be in stores soon also.

    BAIST unsure, Fri maybe.

    Did they say something about price? IST has been in 750 mL bottles for the past 3 years or so. If the price is staying the same as the 750 mL but decreasing in volume to 500 mL the $/volume is going to be higher this year.

    Smaller bottles are awesome for IST so I don't mind the switch. Easier to drink if your not splitting the bottle and more bottles to go around.

    I haven't heard anything specific, but knowing the guys there I can say that I would be SHOCKED if the smaller bottles this year didn't prompt a proportional price cut. IST has become their most overpriced beer over the last few years, but that's only because stores have become aware of the hype and jack up their prices accordingly. 750s generally sold for around $16, despite an MSRP of $12. I would guess that 500s will have an MSRP around $8 - but will probably retail for closer to $10.

    Anyone know anything about holiday hours for NEBCO? I wanted to make it there last year, but no one was answering the phone on the days I had free between xmas and new years.

    Friendly and helpful guy who answered the phone at NEBCO said MSRP was $6.99, just so everyone knows.

    Yes, it is 6.99 for the 500ml.

    They are aiming to have all their special releases for $6.99/500ml. They are hoping this will help reduce the number of stores selling it for a 80%+ premium over MSRP. (excepting the BA IST is coming in 375ml. I know the price is higher on this but I don't know the amount with enough certainty to share.)
