Missouri beer/liquor prices have to be about the lowest in the nation. Lowest of anywhere I've ever been by far.
I miss Spec's in Texas. Both when I lived in Austin and Dallas they regularly had vendors with booths set up where you could try their wares. They were also usually manned by young, pretty lasses. Oh, and they had a pretty good specialty food section as well. Booze, chicks, food...what else is needed?
Now I live back home in Missouri where you can buy a bottle of Jack at Quick Trip, Sam's Club, or the grocery store. Convenience has it's price.
When I lived in Spain for a few years they did this too. The big grocery stores had large booze sections. Every couple months they would have a few to several tables set up in the isles to sample whatever distillers product. Working the tables were always very attractive young women.
Yes, I stop regularly into Specs!I miss Spec's in Texas. Both when I lived in Austin and Dallas they regularly had vendors with booths set up where you could try their wares.

Missouri has sample tables at some stores. Wine is the only ones I've seen to give out for samples though.
Sam's Club actually does it up here upon occasion. They've had tequila, wine, and beer samples that I've tried. Not as often or as many as Spec's. But I'm not in there every weekend.
Haa, not tooting my own horn but I been trying to tell people about 4 Roses for years. I never thought it was as good as the other stuff mentioned here or something. Wife gets me a bottle of L.E. single barrel for almost every special occasion, cause that's all she knows I'm gonna ask for. The blended sucks tho. One of my kids got me a bottle for Xmas trying to be like mamma and it's sitting about 3/4 full. Didn't like it but it was a nice gesture. My dad drank it (the older version) when I was a kid, he even had a friend nicknamed 4Roses and I dont even remember his real name. Good stuff to me. One of my kids got into my liquor once and drank up my 4R and I about came unglued. Anything but my 4Roses. Especially made me mad when they said it was gross and just wasted it.
Where I come from you get liquor at the grocery store. I dont see why it can't happen every where. Pcg stores still stay open.
(Tapatalk)- on the road.
If you don't mind me asking, what is "L.E. single barrel" you mentioned?
