Nugget Nectar

The bottle date on mine was not very readable but it did have a 13 in the year and it tasted awesome.

 

Grabbed a case yesterday. Appears to have been bottled on 1/4, but it's hard to tell as the ink was half rubbed off. Gotta admit, I was expecting to be blown away from the reports I have been reading regarding this years batch, and I wasn't. Still ultimately a very good beer, and I wouldn't go as far as to say the bottle tasted 6+ months old, but the nose was rather weak and the hops weren't as vibrant. I'll have to open another one tonight in hopes that my palate was off last night.

 

If it's the same as in year's past, the bottled on date should be on the case and on the individual bottles themselves. I believe the case date was a "best by" date so just subtract the months back to January.

 

What's everyone paying for a case in SEPA?

 

I havent bought a case but if you buy 4-6 packs at Whole foods its only 44.

 

$55 plus tax at Bella Vista

 

Damn and I thought the 50.99 I saw it for was bad. Haha. I was quoted prices between 50.99-46.99. Found a place in NE Philly that had it for 43.99. Little place called Beer Boyz. They had two cases. I grabbed one for me and one for a friend.

 

Ah...Beer Boyz off Woodhaven. Pass by all the time, but never stop in. May have to now. I knew it was on the higher end, but they are literally around the corner from me. Bella Vista is usually a little more expensive for brands that they don't bring in.

 

I don't think that was that high. 43.99 seemed reasonable to me. Especially when quoted 50.99 from other places.

 

I was referring to it being hgih at BV (around the corner from me).

 

Ahh.. I see I see...

 

Last year at a shop that will go un-named so as to keep my NN honey hole alive I paid ~$38-39. If they got more than 3 cases i'd let the cat out of the bag, but it's my NN Ace up my sleeve as many places in NJ last year were only doing a single 6 pack a person or maybe even worse.. crazy i know. $44-50 range is what a case should go for, something tells me Troegs doesn't charge much more than $30.. that is pure speculation but I can't be too far off can I?

 

Paid ~$48 at Frosty Caps in Willow Grove yesterday. Better than the $60/case i've been hearing elsewhere

 

$43.99 per case at good ol' Tanczos in Bethlehem.

 

It sounds like the price of a case may have gone done from previous years since they can pump out more? I remember a buddy of mine getting one for $60 before their move to Hershey.

 

Troegs Nugget Nectar Ale Bottles, have arrived. They run $45.99 + tax for 24/12oz Bottles.

 

Whole Foods in Plymouth Meeting has a ton at $10.99, Wegmans in KOP has a lot at $12.99, and it looks like Capone's has a few cases on hand but only had a few sixers out when I stopped by, and I think the price was $13.75 (it was $13.something). I grabbed just a single one because I haven't had it in years and wanted to give it another shot. Much like Sierra Nevada Celebration (not making a style comparison here, just using a comparable seasonal and well sought after release), I think NN is a great beer and good for what it is, but I don't quite get the hype and hysteria this beer can sometimes cause.

 

I picked up a case yesterday at Bell Beverage and it was 46 and some change.

 

$45 + change, incl tax at Waywood Beverage in Kennett Sq.

 

Is this in DC anywhere (Logan Square area)?
