It's worth a few extra minutes.

There is a store in Albuquerque and another one will be added in about a year. Check out shoptjs.com

Trader Joe's had a La kings hockey night in April. About 40 or so employees went. Were any of you there? Plus Leather say hello to my good friend Tom H.

If you guys have the patience, try the new pecan sticky buns that should be right next to the choc. crissants in the freezer. These things are amazing as well. Also we just got in Fischer Blond Ale from Alsace. It is in the the 22oz flip top glass bottles like the old Grolsch style. These are only a 1.99. I have a lot of friends who home brew and say that these bottles alone are costing them 2.00 at wholesale for brewing purposes. And yea the beer is pretty darn good as well.

We havent gotten that beer yet!

also, on the pecan sticky buns, I hear they are good, but theyre 350+ calories and 26+grams of fat, so Im avoiding em.

Tom H rules and is staying at our store thankfully!!!!!! send me a private message w/ your name and Ill tell him you say hello!

The beer is a one time " hustle buy". If you guys haven't ordered it I would get on it quickly as it will be gone shortly. We sold 30 cases on Sunday alone.

I am stocking up. I'll buy 6 or 7 bottles (Even though it is a French beer)

I still have an extra bottle of Scotch from the rebottled Glenlivet and Macallan last year.

Any idea when the rebottled Scotches will be making a return?

Crap, I just called my store, it is "plussed out," not even coming up on our order screen. gotta call a couple of other stores...

Think I might head to the local TJs tonight. This thread has given me quite the shopping list.

Luckily it is close enough to Germany to have the German influence on the beer. It is a great summer beer.

The Scotch unfortunately doesn't look like it is coming back. that was an insane deal. People did not believe that those were original and bottled exclusively for us. I never say never though with our products, hopefully we can come up with another private label deal on those scotches.
