Underpriced buys

just saw cases of Yulesmith (12x22oz) for 29.95 at Bella Vista

 

$4 12oz Hopslam... at a bar... needless to say, I got a ride home that night.

 

Stone Ruination 10th for $5.99. The clerk didn't know it was different so I was charged the regular price for ruination.

 

A store was selling 2012 BCBS for $16.99/4pk. They had a few cases on the shelf so i grabbed a full case bc most places were selling 4pks limit 1-2 for $20+ in town. I double checked my receipt when I got to my car and noticed the lady charged me for (4) 6 packs instead of (6) 4 packs. Felt like I got away with murder

 

FW Double DBA for $6.99.

 

Forgot to mention, got Green Flash Barelywine for $3.99 a bomber at Safeway when it first reopened. Bought one, went back to buy another and they were all gone.

 

Jeez! FMB is still sitting on the shelves near me at $13.99

 

I sadly have never found an underpriced beer.
Maybe Olde English, but even then I think you are paying what it's worth, you're not getting anything over on the retailer.

 

Last month i picked up 2 dusty 4 packs of Founders Curmudgeon on the bottom shelf of the clearance rack in liquor store/gas station for $5 a 4 pack. Going to be back in the area this week so i think ill stop buy to see what else they got

 

This is the best line I've heard all year...yeah, make sure you thank him.

BCBS for $3.99 a four pack about 2 years ago at the register...asked the guy twice if he was sure on the price...he said Yep, and I cleared that cooler out.

 

Agreed, sir. Loved that Northern Hemisphere, and was pretty underwhelmed with Celebration.

 

Bought the Ommegang Holiday Gift pack this weekend at CostCo. 3 x 750ml's (Hennepin, 3 Phil, Chocolate Indulgence) and an Ommegang Tulip for $21.99.

 

$90 - dogfish 120min case
$99 - '12 bcbs

 

Shelton Brothers are the importer, indeed. And their prices are incredibly reasonable. There is a great deal of misinformation and misconception among 'enthusiasts' that the Shelton Brothers are "expensive" and the culprit of both high prices and limited availability. This is all false. The culprit are the distributors (not the importers) that mark up beer at straight 30% margins...

 

Just paid $20 for that same set here in Daytona Beach

 

Lagunitas indeed! All of their stuff is incredibly priced. A sixer of Brown Shugga for under 10 bucks is a a heckuva beer bargain my friends.

 

I don't have too many great finds with mispriced labels and whatnot, but as far as stuff that is regularly priced fairly IMO, would be: Pliny The Elder ($4.99), Blind Pig ($4.99) and Sierra Nevada Pale Ale ($7.99 a 6-pack). Oh, also Alpine bombers from the brewery. Only $5 a pop. Yayer.

There's also a store around my way that sells 6-packs of your choice of various micros for $8.99. The stock rotates often. I can usually find some good value in there, including brews from Flying Dog, North Coast, Anderson Valley and Stone amongst others.

 

You can't.

I was in Wharton , NJ

 

At a bar in Somerset,Ky I was buying Mendocino Barleywine $2 bottle.had to laugh because when I ordered the barleywine ,she said "We don't serve wine here.

 

Bought a case of stone ris 09 in 11 for like 35 bucks. It was just sitting there every time i went in and the box was all beaten up so i asked what i could get it for. Tastes great.

Also got a case of headhunter ipa for 41 tonight which is a steal.
