How is it that that one (I almost hate to say this publicly, I know what will happen) costs less than in other states? 1.58 a bottle retail is 6.32 a four pack, a great price for a great beer. On totalwine.com it is 8 in Las Vegas and I have seen threads on BA, where it is listed at about 10.

Now that most breweries are required to have a distributor, the prices at liquor stores are gunna be higher for beer. <br /><br />The distributors are not working for free, and the DABC is going to pass the cost on to you.

I only bought one because of the inflated 3.99 price. This is $9/4 pack in Vegas:<br />http://www.totalwine.com/eng/product/sierra-nevada-narwhal-imprl-stout/125722134<br /><br />I have seen other listings around the country at 10 a 4 pack. Utah wants the equivalent of 16 a four pack.<br /><br />I took three bottles with me to the counter with a different fourth bottle. I asked the cashier how much, my jaw dropped when he replied 3.99 (price had not been posted). I then took two of them back and chose some more reasonably priced bottles (I did not choose the Anderson Valley Summer Solstice). I have got to try it at least once. The cashier joked, "Welcome to Utah" after he told me the price. It took all that I have in me to not let a few choice words fly. All this after waiting six weeks more than the rest of the civilized states.<br /><br />Some may argue that is just beer, and I should not get so worked up. It is so much more than beer. This is our freedom to choose the products we wish to legally consume. <br /><br />I swear this state is going to drive me to home-brewing.<br /><br />Cheers,<br />ScottKAGent777https://www.blogger.com/profile/03183225373382127266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15458742.post-77331329566333610162012-12-15T15:46:07.150-07:002012-12-15T15:46:07.150-07:00Stupid state stores with their random distribution...Stupid state stores with their random distribution.
