    can we assume BA Abraxxas will be on the initial tap offerings tonight at Devil's Den?

    Usually a safe bet, although in past years they've saved things to rotate in after kegs kick. All of the heavy hitters typically go on right away though.

    I guess we can also assume it will be long gone by Sunday. Would love to try it, but can't get over there till Sunday. I'm assuming that will be way too late at that point.

    I would guess it doesn't last an hour, given how previous tappings of Brandy Zhukov, Black Note, FB Berliner, etc have gone.

    Glad I plan on being there early. The list is great, but definitely going for the Abraxas mainly.

    Naturally there's an accident on 76 going into the city from 422.

    World Cafe doesn't usually allow any takeout, so my guess would be drink there only.
    Never know, you might get lucky though

    Heads up... NOTHING for the bash at DD tonight is going on tap until 7 sharp. Only seven taps on at all right now. Bar is full but only a couple standers so far.

    Could you please tell the bartender I'll slip him an extra $20 if he could conveniently forget to tap the Abraxas until Sunday? :-)

    Nah, at 7:15 it was out and a couple people near me were PO'd bout it. A worker friend mentioned that he had a glass saved for him later but that's it. I personally heard an 8 order and a 9 order of it for groups. Right at 7 just about everybody was ordering it. The Cigar City went about an hour afterwards. That was gonna be my third there.

    Fun night though. That Bullfrog Bruin was killer. Russian River-esque.

    Amazing time so far. Monk's Cafe was awesome and Devil's Den Bash was amazing too. I shared my Cantillon bottles at Monk's with whoever asked. Made some good friends. At DD, My friend and I were lucky enough to both get the Abraxas. We were the 2 guys sitting at the table outside right next to the door.

    I can't wait to hit the pool at 8AM at my hotel. Nothing like a swim to burn off a tiny hangover.

    Also, hhkal17 is definitely right. That stuff was gone instantly. I thought the Cigar City Peach IPA was awful IMO.

    I was unlucky enough to get a glass of BA Coffee Abraxas. Gross.

    Let me re-word my sentence:
    I was unlucky enough to get a glass of BA Sump.
    According to BV, no one drank BA Coffee Abraxas last night. Needless to say this discovery makes the one and only review of 'Coffee Infused BA Abraxas a great read.
