    Oakland, Berkeley area. It's no where to be found here. If it's like sucaba Oakland will get it in another month. Took 5 weeks from when SF got sucaba for it to be available in Oakland/Berkeley/Rockridge. Makes no sense.

    Someone mentioned that the brewery in Paso Robles has them. Do they hold some back to sell year-round?

    Yea they do. But after a few months the price goes up. Nice to be able to get them later on but there is a price to pay

    BevMo in Point Loma (in San Diego) got some in yesterday, 1 bottle limit. I was able to pick up a bottle earlier today.

    Some Costco's got Abyss, why not Parabola?

    I got XVI at my local Costco last year. Haven't seen Parabola there yet.

    Total Wine in Redondo Beach had 12 bottles when I went there today at 6 p.m. 8 bottles up front on top of a barrel near the cashier and 4 bottles in their seasonal section. (1 bottle limit, $13.99)

    Very few - the ones within a few miles of the brewery.

    So yeah, maybe the Paso Robles Costco will have it. Paso Robles Costco? Whoops!

    How do you pricematch at Bevmo? Do you have to show a TW receipt? I never knew this... and it's great!

    I've had them match prices I found on the total wine website using my phone.

    It's actually company policy to beat any TW price by one cent. If you ask at checkout they'll look it up (I assume on their POS device), in my case I had a receipt from the total wine I had visited prior to visiting bevmo(s). I have it on very good authority that you don't actually have to show a receipt or have it pulled up on your phone though.

    seeems like Costco is going heavy on Bear Republic, Stone and Alesmith right now in SoCal. Finding Racer5, Espresso IRS and Alesmith IPA all over the place.

    They do keep some in stock for a long while, but they don't usually raise the price until it is closer to the next years release coming out, then it is vintage.
