Greetings all.
Back in Dallas I used to regularly pay ~$6.99 a sixer for Hoegaarden. Now in Colorado Springs I cannot find it for less than $9.99(!!) and oftentimes a whole lot more! Could this be because I can only find beer > 3.2% in liquor stores who (IMO) are notorious for not caring about beer and price gouging? Is there any authority to write to report price gouging like this? Or am I just being naive -- It's okay if I cannot buy Hoegaarden anymore as my homebrewed wit turned out fantastic. _Randal |

I thought authorities only become concerned about price gouging when it applies to "necessities" like food or gasoline. Your Hoegaarden is a "luxury," and worth whatever the yokels will pay for it. --NPD |

To be clear I meant does the brewery or distributor ever care about price gouging and would they do something about it? _Randal |
