    Picked some up at CM Lovers last night. Think they only had one more sixer and a bunch of bombers left.

    HEBs in Austin should have it today. The HEB at McNeil/Parmer had it this morning. I know they have bombers for sure, but you may have to ask the beer guy.

    Yeah, it seems lilke DR13 was the easiest for me to find. Almost everywhere I went yesterday morning had it.

    First stop was Specs in Sugar Land, they were sold out of 6ers but still had bombers left (picked up 2 bombers)
    Second stop was HEB on Dulles and Highway 6 they still had both bombers and sixers left (picked up 1 sixer)
    Third stop was Kroger on Highway 6 and Murphy Road they had 4 cases of sixers left (picked up 1 more sixer)
    Fourth stop was HEB in Sienna Plantation on Highway 6, just to see what else they had. They had it in stock in the back, but I decided against buying anymore.

    I don't ever remember it being that easy to find.

    Got some there last night. Didn't seem like they were limiting it. Just had them out on display. Grabbed a bomber and a 6 pack.

    2 6er limit at whole foods in the quarry. It's in the back if you ask for it.

    This is the email sent at 7:27am Monday:
    "Good morning,

    Saint Arnold Divine #13 arrived this morning. We received only 24 six-packs and 12 single bombers, so there will be a limit of two combined between the two sizes. This beer will not last long -- first come, first served.

    Thank you so much,

    Stephen & Rose"

    Maybe the demand wasn't what they were expecting

    Quite a few stores around Houston got some DR that usually wouldn't and the usual hot spots got more than they have in the past, just more overall quantity than there has been in previous releases. All good if you ask me, less people complain this way.

    I went around 6:30 last night and they probably had about 6 bombers and most of the 6 packs left. Also, they have an email list??

    I saw it at the Flag Store about an hour ago. They hadn't stocked it yet, so it wasn't available. A couple of bros said they'd be back later to get it.

    Wife just picked up a 6er at HEB Manchaca/Slaughter. People are waiting on the beer guy there, believe it or not.

    Edit: ATX

    I hope I dont get "crucified" for this, but does anyone feel like this has the same malt profile as Pumpkinator? It just has a similar taste and mouthfeel.

    I see what you're getting at. I liked the maltiness and the Belgian character, but it's missing that dark fruit complexity that I love in a good Quad.

    It's good; not great. We'll see what a little age does to it.
