Angostura Bitters - Where are they?

[mbach]

I heard there is a shortage of Angostura Bitters and would like to know if anyone knows where I can find them now.

Shaws, Sav-Mor Liquors, Boston Shaker, not sure if the shortage hit locally. I have seen them pretty much everywhere

[mbach]

They're almost impossible to find in Manhattan. Are you in Boston?

[jgg13]

Yeah, those are boston locations

[dhs]

where did you try looking? they are food products only in grocery stores in ny for whatever crazy misguided law governs that

I have tried Gristedes, D'Agastinos, and Food Emporium. The plant in Trinidad was shut down for a while and stopped production due to financial problems I read.

Arrrgh! I am a victim of the NYC scarcity, too. Today I tried the overpriced Amish Market, where they told me something about the company holding them back due to packaging, or only selling in pallets, or ...???

I ended up ordering them from Amazon, which really was Kegworks. They came pretty quickly, but still had to wait about 3 to 4 days. That was about two weeks ago, not sure if they still have them.

Thanks! I've also noticed they are on Kalustyan's website so they may have them in-store.

I'm outside of Philly and can't find them in the 'burbs or the city, except in far flung locations. ARGH.

For a great alternative, check out www.urbanmoonshine.com. I am a customer, not affiliated with the company, but I did meet the owner once in a bar.
