Beer at Target’s Fenway store was too cheap, state says
The state’s crackdown on super-cheap booze isn’t over.
Regulators at the Alcoholic Beverages Control Commission have cited Target’s store in the Fenway neighborhood of Boston for violating a longstanding state rule that bans retailers from selling alcohol for less than what they paid.
In December, the ABCC said, Target’s huge Boylston Street location briefly offered 15-can packs of Founders All Day IPA for $11.99. But when ABCC investigators — following up on a complaint about the deal — showed up and asked a Target manager for invoices, the records indicated the store had paid its wholesaler $14.25 for each pack.
