I'm spoiled, it's the only nog I'll drink, and it's just not Xmas-New Years without a bottle or three in the fridge. But every year, I have trouble scoring it. Haven't found a bottle yet. If you hacve seen B's nog somewhere this season, perhaps you could post that info here for all nog fans to benefit from. I am in the Glendale area. The only place I've found in the last few years that carries it here is the Ralph's on north Central, at Stocker. Been there twice so far, and they're always sold out. Oddly, the other Ralph's in town don't carry it, and apparently heither does the Whole Foods on Glendale, even tho they carry other B's products. According to the blog below, there may be places in the Atwater-Los Feliz area. Any info is appreciated. The pic below has me salivating. http://blogging.la/archives/2006/12/tis_the_season.phtml Sun Dec 17 21:32:37 -0800 2006 14065 Andrew Gore 1 2107852 Gelson's usually carry it, there's one in Pasadena. I've also spotted it at Stater Brothers stores, if there's one that is more convienent than the Gelson's. I am slurping one as I write this, albiet adulterated with a fine medium bodied rum and a couple of grindings of fresh nutmeg. Cheers. It is the best, and the only one I spend the calories on. Sun Dec 17 21:40:24 -0800 2006 2107831 13263 Ginger Wolf 1 2107917 Bristol Farms carries it every year...very rich and delicious! Sun Dec 17 22:14:10 -0800 2006 2107831 14014 liu 1 2108002 Gelsons in Marina del Rey has it reliably every year, including this year. I'd bet that is true for all Gelsons stores. Wife loves it. Sun Dec 17 22:57:39 -0800 2006 2107831 25343 Lee by the Sea 1 2108027 I bought a jar at Von's in Pasadena on Allen. Sun Dec 17 23:10:56 -0800 2006 2107831 52342 alliebear 1 2108072 Go to their dairy in Montebello. Broguiere's Farm Fresh Dairy 505 S Maple Ave. Montebello (323)726-0524, (323)726-2957 fax, Sun Dec 17 23:36:21 -0800 2006 2107831 11914 monku 2 2108114 The first time I scored Brog's nog, based on Huell Houser's show segment, I made the long trip out to the dairy (about three years ago, IIRC). It was good to do that, once, but not again. I don't drive; I get around all over by bus, but besides a long trip to Montebello, it was a boring hour's hike each way from the nearest bus stop. I'll try my local Ralph's again, and if not there, try Gelson's in Pasadena. Mon Dec 18 00:03:06 -0800 2006 2108072 14065 Andrew Gore 3 2108842 Another benefit of going directly to the dairy is that it costs nearly half the price of going to Gelson's... $2.99 a bottle if I recall correctly. However I agree that the discount is definitely not worth the cost or effort of taking the bus to Montebello! Mr Taster Mon Dec 18 07:10:49 -0800 2006 2108114 17579 Mr Taster 1 2108170 Here's another choice for you -- How's market in San Marino (San Gabriel Blvd. and Huntington Dr.) carries it and I bought my first bottle yesterday. Wonderful stuff without the cloying sweetness of some of the other brands. Mon Dec 18 00:23:19 -0800 2006 2107831 13127 timsmom 1 2108547 Andrew - I checked with the Gelson's in Silverlake on Griffith Park and Hyperion -- they have it..... Mon Dec 18 03:47:04 -0800 2006 2107831 13127 timsmom 2 2108835 OK thanks - Gelson's seems to be the dependable source. Mon Dec 18 07:04:25 -0800 2006 2108547 14065 Andrew Gore 1 2108859 I've spotted their nog, whole & chocolate milk at Marukai Costa Mesa. Mon Dec 18 07:42:11 -0800 2006 2107831 10023 Professor Salt 2 3194028 Professor: by chance do you know if Whole Foods in the Tustin District or Vons on Bristol/MacArthur carry it, please? Thanks! (and anyone else in the central OC/W. Irvine-W. Tustin area) Sun Dec 09 21:17:17 -0800 2007 2108859 148994 jaasak 3 3194214 Bought mine this year at Gelson's in Irvine. NE corner of Alton & Jeffrey. Dunno about Whole Foods or Von's. Mon Dec 10 00:23:39 -0800 2007 3194028 10023 Professor Salt 4 3198721 Thanks, Prof! That's just up the street from me(W Alton by 55 frwy)...never thought of them? They're on the NE corner, right? JIM Tue Dec 11 11:22:12 -0800 2007 3194214 148994 jaasak 3 4189760 Whole Foods at The District will not carry it. It's available at Gelson's (as Prof. Salt mentioned), but was out when I tried last week. Thu Nov 20 12:49:59 -0800 2008 3194028 16627 Jigsaw 1 2109020 The Vons in Chevoit Hills and the Pavillion's in Culver City [both owned by Safeway] have the Quart Bottle of the nog. The Vons however has a better selecton of their milk and other things than the Pavillions Mon Dec 18 13:20:31 -0800 2006 2107831 12588 Mattapoisett in LA 1 2109344 Just a note on Whole Foods. I once asked why they didn't carry the egg nog when they have other Broguiere's products, and it's because the egg nog does not meet their dairy department's requirements for being organic. Make of that what you will, but that's why you won't see Broguiere's egg nog at any Whole Foods. Mon Dec 18 15:56:16 -0800 2006 2107831 10568 Jwsel 2 2111095 BIZZARE!!! We buy Broguiere's milk there all the time (And it's cheaper than safeway too!) and that's not organic either!! --Dommy! Mon Dec 18 23:14:44 -0800 2006 2109344 10659 Dommy 3 3194133 I actually spotted it at the Whole Foods at 3rd and Fairfax on Thursday, unless I was hallucinating. Also, Whole Foods does carry a bit of non-organic stuff including dairy (I've seen some non-organic altadena milk and cream there, for example) Sun Dec 09 22:37:57 -0800 2007 2111095 19949 bad nono 1 2111088 I've got to chime in on this... you bring up an interesting point. While rich and delicious, there is something unnaturally yellow and gooey about the stuff which I push out of my mind when I'm drinking it (of course when you mix in a little rum or whiskey, it dilutes the nog's texture and flavor into something more palatable to me... but weirdly enough I still like it, though I can't explain why). Having said that, I still think Whole Foods' attituide however is pretty rediculous... they like to put out the image that they're an organic paradise while simultaneously stocking their produce department with only about 30% organics... and then they charge organic prices for their non-organic fruits. Whatever! Mr Taster Mon Dec 18 23:12:26 -0800 2006 2107831 17579 Mr Taster 1 2122177 I just saw it at Bristol Farms in Pasadena off the 110 at Fair Oaks; however, I live in Northern California and I couldn't buy a bottle to take with me on the plane. Does anyone know if it is sold in the north? Fri Dec 22 13:55:08 -0800 2006 2107831 61371 franhamdan 2 4194917 Try PW market. I have one of thier glass bottles that I use for change, that i got in San Jose. If I rember correctly i got it at the PW Market in Campbell. Maybe Wild Oats if they still exsist.

(and their choc milk, too, I might add). Do you or anybody reading this forum MIGHT know by chance if either Vons on S. Bristol, S.A. or Henry's on Harbor in Costa Mesa carry this, rather'n my having to drive up the 5 Fwy? Thanks in advance! O, BTW: do you know a "Jack" Gore, Jr? He works with me in the Post Office here in Santa Ana and boy we love talking about our fave foods.... Sun Dec 09 21:20:52 -0800 2007 2107831 148994 jaasak 2 3194072 If you do plan on going out the dairy, call ahead. I called early this afternoon and they were out of both egg nog and chocolate milk for today. Since we're in West LA, I am really glad we checked first. Sun Dec 09 21:49:47 -0800 2007 3194032 11992 roxhills 1 3195147 Haven't been to Von's lately, but I've seen the eggnog at two Pasadena Ralphs stores (North Lake and West Colorado) and Gelson's. It's actually becoming more widely available, a trend I appreciate. Mon Dec 10 09:53:29 -0800 2007 2107831 11478 Will Owen 2 3197003 I bought two bottles at the Vons on Allen in Pasadena today (they had about a dozen left), and I bought two bottles at the Hows on Huntington last week! This has been a very noggy season so far, may it continue into the New Year, knock on wood. Mon Dec 10 19:11:12 -0800 2007 3195147 146916 khh1138 3 3300792 Yes, I also saw it at that How's and the Pavillions on Lake/California. Wed Jan 16 08:25:25 -0800 2008 3197003 12400 WildSwede 1 3197034 I bought a bottle at Ralph's on La Brea and 3rd. I think they still have it... Mon Dec 10 19:30:08 -0800 2007 2107831 64572 highforpie 2 3207793 Thank you! I went and got some. Fri Dec 14 09:12:17 -0800 2007 3197034 25869 LuluTheMagnificent 1 3206560 I get my bottles at the Ralphs on Colorado between Orange Grove and Pasadena Avenue they always have plenty of bottles. I have also found some at the Vons on Pasadena Avenue cross street California Thu Dec 13 18:24:40 -0800 2007 2107831 149937 Sjyork 1 3207167 I saw some yesterday at the Pavillions on Alameda in Burbank Fri Dec 14 04:42:49 -0800 2007 2107831 101560 CinnamonKitten 1 3207634 Saw nog, milk, and chocolote milk at MILK on Tuesday. Fri Dec 14 08:28:41 -0800 2007 2107831 22375 snooze button 1 3298927 Okay, this may be late notice, but I have to reply. I agree that Broguiere's egg nog is the best nog ever (although Alta Dena dairy comes pretty close). I am in Glendora (if you don't know that's about 30 miles East of Los Angeles). I don't know of many specific stores that carry it over others, that seems to work the same out in our neighborhood. I think it's up to each store to decide if they want to sell it. Stater Bros. and Vons out here sell it, but not all locations sell it. I have two suggestions if you really want to find somewhere that sells Broguiere products, and if you don't mind driving. First is to call Broguiere Dairy and find out where they sell it, they will know what stores bought their products. Second, you can go to Kellogg Ranch, in Pomona, near Cal Poly Pomona. The ranch is owned and run by Cal Poly; a lot of their produce is grown by Cal Poly on the same property, and they sell every Broguiere's product made (all regular milk and chocolate milk all year, egg nog around the holidays, from Thanksgiving through Christmas). Kellogg Ranch's website is http://www.csupomona.edu/~farmstore/, from this site you can get directions. I suppose, I should mention a third possibility: Whole Foods Market. There is a Whole Foods in Glendale, and Pasadena. I have shopped at both, and while I have never been to the one in Glendale around the holidays, I have been to the one in Pasadena around Thanksgiving, and they sell Broguiere's egg nog every year during the holidays. Here's the website that has the addresses of southern California Whole Food's: http://www.wholefoodsmarket.com/stores/list_CA-s.html. I hope this helps you next year find the best egg nog ever made! Tue Jan 15 16:06:48 -0800 2008 2107831 157785 capoohbear 1 4169112 How's Market at 3035 E. Huntington Drive, Pasadena, CA 91107 (cross street San Gabriel Blvd) I brought my bottle there today for $5.49 plus bottle deposit $1.25. It's an addictive eggnog, rich and creamy and blend well with alcohol for Christmas Party. Wed Nov 12 18:43:16 -0800 2008 2107831 209242 eathealthy 1 4189766 I saw it at Ralph's in Studio City last night. Thu Nov 20 12:52:34 -0800 2008 2107831 196419 Kate is always hungry 1 4193825 how much is it now? did it go up? How much is the bottle deposit? Sadly, I may be to poor to buy any this year. lol... < --- to keep from crying.... Sat Nov 22 06:46:01 -0800 2008 2107831 25869 LuluTheMagnificent 2 4204883 $5.49 plus $1.25 bottle deposit at How's Market in Pasadena (read my post for address). I love it , it's the best eggnog around but the bottle didn't have ingredient list. It is very rich and creamy, and taste just right for a treat. Wed Nov 26 20:11:56 -0800 2008 4193825 209242 eathealthy 1 4196591 The Pavilions in Monrovia (at Myrtle and Foothill) carries it. I've never seen it at a Ralph's. Sun Nov 23 16:53:34 -0800 2008 2107831 11822 Michelle 2 4196879 Ralph's Downtown has it. So maybe the "Fresh Fares" do. Unfortunately it was $7.99!! I'll try MILK where it'll probably only be $5 or 6 Sun Nov 23 19:10:11 -0800 2008 4196591 82632 trojandude 3 4196991 I just bought some at the Gelsons in SO (by the Best Buy at Van Nuys and Moorpark). As someone who's not normally a huge Egg Nog guy, this stuff is REALLY good. It was $5.99 + tax and a $1.25 bottle deposit. Sun Nov 23 20:16:13 -0800 2008 4196879 198245 a213b 4 4208014 That's not a bad price. I saw the chocolate milk was $6.99 and the deposit was $2 at Ralphs on Wilshire, so I thought the egg nog might be a lot more. It's definitely worth it. Sat Nov 29 08:28:19 -0800 2008 4196991 25869 LuluTheMagnificent 5 4224803 Gelsons had the better price. but Ralphs on 645 w 9th street in downtown LA. they had it for 6.99 and i do not see a deposit on my receipt. so i assume it does not have it. Fri Dec 05 23:55:31 -0800 2008 4208014 245853 forget_I_told 6 4263713 maybe the checker didn't know to charge you for it?
