    Since its apparently no where to be found in Houston, anyone in Austin or anyone heading down to Houston wanna do a 1:1 trade for some Karbach BBA Hellfighter / FUN005?

    BM me, Looking for at least 3 bottles.

    Alternatively, if any bottle shops in Austin have it, please speak up so I can contact you!

    Thanks!

    Since he started it hit up Chow first but if there are additional offers above the three I'll do the same deal. Like I said ask chow first though. Don't want to hijack his offer.

    I had the chance to buy several of these and...............after drinking one, wish I would have bought as many as I could! I am not a big sour guy, but this is a nice one that doesn't overwhelm you with the mouth puckering sourness. You can really taste the dark sour sweet fruit that was used. Good luck guys, I would love to grab some more of these too...lol. I will see if there is any left up this way. If so, I will buy them up and save some for you guys.

    word, I bought a bottle in SF, and it isn't looking too promising for Houston. Love Child #2 was one of my favorite beers from the past year.

    Matt, East 1st Grocery in Austin had a few #3 when I was there Sunday. Shoot him a tweet.

    Spec's on Brodie had a nice shipment last Friday. Pretty sure the $17/18 price tag scared away most people, and I saw quite a few bottles left on Monday. Flagstore also has a few left at $22/bottle. Ouch.

    Damn, I wish I would have seen as many bottles as you guys. I felt lucky getting 2. Granted, I haven't been chasing beers for awhile and have hardly stepped foot in a beer store in the past 2-3 months but I did make a few stops looking for LC3 specifically and only got the 2.

    it kind of blows that #2 was all over the shelves in houston for months after the release, and that is not the case for #3.

    ah well.

    I don't know that I can afford to grab any for trades, but I do know where there exist quite a few, if somebody wants to mule them back to Houston.

    I will be down to Houston at the end of the month, yeah. I'm hesitant to take on more beers, because moving already isn't going to be fun, but I suppose that it could be arranged.

    whole foods had about a case out this afternoon - 1/2 on the display counter and the other 1/2 on the rack at the side of the cooler. I agree that the 18.99 price tag has kept this one around

    Price tag is 100% why I have not pulled the trigger on this one. I got a chance to taste it at our recent tasting, and that will have to be enough for me.
