All -

With all the talk about Pliny the Elder, I wanted to pass along something...
Just found a site that has bottles for $4.30 for a 500ml bottle. No idea if that is good - but I know that for good beer in a 500ml bottle that seems reasonable to me - so I took all they had (four) and the one blind pig that they had.

That is $21 for four bottles and I was worried about the shipping - but it was only $13 which isnt great but isnt terrible I guess. They get it in and it goes right out...

He also said the more you order to more you save on shipping. For example I paid basically $2.50/bottle and he said if you get more it goes down to like $1.50/bottle.


CLIFF NOTES: With shipping just got 4 bottles of Pliny the Elder for $28. Not sure if this is a good deal - and not sure if this is the forum to post, or if I am even allowed to post the website so I didnt for now.

Guys -

Only reason for no link is I wasnt sure if I was violating any of the vendor rules or whatever. Depending on your state, it may say "no delivery - law" or something like that. I just called them and it was no problem. Dude says they get it in and its out the door.

My basic thoughts were - if I went if to a bar and saw Pliny for basically $7/bottle - I am buying it - so I did. Ebay has them for generally $18-$22 per bottle when all shipping etc is factored in.

Here is the link - Again, I just bought the last 4 PTE and the only Blind Pig they had - but he said they have more coming soon as they are right there in CA.

Pliny for ~$6-$7/bottle

Again, they are out now, but he said they are getting shipments regularly and often.

Again, sorry for the "no linky" at first... I am new and didnt want to post out of line.
He said it fed ex's out tomorrow - and just called me back to say that someone grabbed the last Blind Pig while he was taking my order so I am subbing a couple of Stone's Levitation which I have never had.

$4.30 per bottle is a pretty good price IMO.

$6-$7? Not so much.

Is there another way that someone on West Coast can get it for cheaper? I dunno.
