Where?

Maxs raintree

I picked up a bottle of Confluence at Spirits Unlimited Brick Blvd. I saw aleast 3 bottles as of weds.

Wine World in East Brunswick had Schlafly Pumpkin. Not sure if they still do or not.

Bitches Brew is FINALLY in SJ!! White Horse Liquor has it and they also have FBS!! Woo hoo! Hey all, if anyone is down at the shore this Monday, Roger Wilco, Ventor is having a Founders Breakfast Stout Release Party....Tons of FBS will be in stock AND along with some tasty samplings they have mini cupcakes made with the breakfast stout and maple bacon icing!! WHAT?!! I would go just for that cupcake not for nuthin....

I live a few minutes from there and have never checked them out. I'll need to stop in there on my way home from work. Thanks.

No it is on Brick Blvd in Bricktown. Johnathan Rons in Brielle also had a few bottles on the shelf last night

How in G-Ds name am I missing this brew? Everywhere I go, they either have no clue
or they are sold out.

That beer was amazing! I love beer and pumpkins. My neighbor, back in Chicago, had in-laws in St. Louis,
turned me on to Schlaflys.

You can still get Confluence at Roger Wilco, Ventnor....$21.50 25 oz bottle

its a good beer but its not that good, its not a good value at $13.99. much better beers for better prices

I agree! $13.99 seemed a little steep to me as well but haven't tried it yet so....I guess I will wait to form a definitive opinion!

Bitches Brew on the shelf at Lil Bros in Flemington but at $16.99 per - ouch!

Not surprising they jacked it up a few extras dollars. Is the KBS still sitting there for $11/bottle?

garys in wayne had 3 bottles of bitches brew on the shelf($12.99). FBS was kept in the back of the store available by request only, 4pack limit($10.99)

FW Double Jack 4 packs are out at Bottle King. Bottle date 7/3/12 though. How did this take almost 3 months to hit the shelves?

Bitches Brew at Buy rite on 72 in manahawkin 11.99@

Or Life and Limb for $30... or consultation with a loan provider to afford Canadian Breakfast?

Spirits in Point Pleasant has plenty of FBS and Bitches Brew as of 4pm today.

My holy grail arrived today.

Man... She is beautiful haha - where will she be on tap?

So when are we all coming over?

Just got back from Gary's in Wayne, they had FBS on the shelves along with Daytime

Saw Laqunitas Daytime and FBS at Marketplace Wines and Spirits in East Brunswick. Coworker picked up Bitches Brew at Bottle King in Hillsdale for $11.99.

Also, big thanks to ripps1. Wine World had 2 bottles of Schlafly Pumpkin in the back. It was delicious.

They're selling Schlafly Pumpkin in singles? Must be a hot commodity this year.

Also, anyone see Smuttynose Vunderbar in the Somerset/Hunterdon area? I'm heading home this weekend or next, and would love to try it (though, the seasonality seems a little off).

Wine World breaks up most of their 4 and 6 packs and sell's singles which is nice. Even the cans (Sixpoint, Oskar Blues, etc. are in the singles aisle).

just a quick price check for FBS here in SJ.. i'm guessing 10.99? anywhere have it for $ 9.99? Total Wine maybe?

My usually spot was charging $12.99 which was steep, but dude hooks me up regularly. I may do some window shopping at TW after work. I'll try to chime in.

No Problem. That Wine world has a good selection of craft beer.

stew leonards paramus had 2 cases of FBS left as of noon today. No limit. 11.99 a 4pak. Case was just under $70

Just north of jersey in westchester county the bridge view tavern is pouring hill farmstead Ephraim and the place is empty. Worth the ride for Bergen county folks.

Shop Rite in Caldwell had tons of Daytime and Bitches brew when I was there yesterday.

I plan on going there for the annual halloween trip to Sleepy Hollow with the girlfriend. Accidentally found that place 3 years ago, and go back to it every halloween. Place is awesome. Great wings, great beer.

Canals in Burlington had it for $10.99 which seems to be the regular market price for it this year. If you can find it for less, I would load up. Anything higher than $10.99 I would pass and move onto another store. South Jersey (at least my area anyway) seems to be pretty well stocked with FBS right now, but of course it's not likely to stay that way for very long.

i will be hosting a bottle share in early November for those interested in central NJ / lehigh valley. more details to come.

I have some fresh Headdy Topper to share. If you are an Ocean County (or close to) BA, and you want to get together for a simple share or swap, please advise via Bmail......

I know people were talking about Bitches Brew being sold under cost at Bottle King a week or so ago. Saw it tonight in Morris Plains and it was $11.99. Maybe 10.99. But definitely double digits.

Also, was talking to the girl at the counter at Liquor Outlet in Boonton about FBS and she was under the impression that what they had now, 3-4 cases, was all they were getting. I didn't really believe her. Is there possibly truth to this?

I doubt that info is true, I know of stores who've already received a second shipment.

yea we should be seeing more real soon

Been on shelves in SJ for 6 weeks. Must have been in their back room.
