Price of Hoegaarden:

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.

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.

LOL - I didn't mean authorities, I doubt any men in black will raid Coal Train liquor... To be clear I meant does the brewery or distributor ever care about price gouging and would they do something about it?
