Specific beer prices

$32 for Heady.... A case of 24 is $80.70

 

For the handful of these available in Texas, they're about double what I would expect to pay here.

 

Chicago Prices:

• Avery Tweak - $13
• Dogfish Head Higher Math $10
• GS BCBS 2015 $10
• Logsdon Seizoen Bretta $12
• The Bruery Humulus Terreux $13
• Knee Deep Simtra $12

We don't get all your list, but this is what I would pay up here. Seems like it is about double for you - that sucks!

 

Nice of them to charge $31 for that infected GI BCBBW.

I'm not surprised that they're charging that kind of money, but its easily 2-4+ times the typical cost for everything there.

 

I have heard of Heady being a similar price here in the states outside of Vermont since it is so sought after. Sometimes people buy it and re-sell in stores for $15-30 a can (there is a place in DC apparently). The problem with Heady is that is something someone has bought and shipped from Vermont. Since they don't date their cans (at least none I have ever had were dated) there isn't really a good way to know if it is fresh, or 6 months old.

 

How much is a 6 pack of something basic like Sierra Nevada pale ale? I often get that for $8-9 a 6-er, and never see it for more than $10, so perhaps that might help with the comparison. I have heard Mexico pays a lot for imported craft beer anyway.

 

The picture you posted is the barleywine. Black label is the regular.

 

Yep the regular BCBS has a black label, BW is red, coffee is orange prop is blue and rare is green.

 

And regal is purple

 

$8-$10 is the norm for many SN products, so that sounds about right.

 

I knew I was forgetting one!

 

It is my favorite BCBS for years - I am hoarding every bottle I can get my hands on! I am very attuned to that bottle with a purple label at the moment

 

you are getting extremely ripped off lol. I pay 10$ for a can of heady in NY when it comes here and that is even high.

 

$31.99 for a can of Heady? Never in a million years would I purchase it for that price even if it was the last beer on earth. You don't even know if that beer is 2 years old either since they are not dated. I hazard a guess and think that none of those beers were procured by the store using normal distribution channels so it's essentially secondary market - priced accordingly.

 

If you ever want to part with one of those Regal Ryes you let me know!
