    Wow - thanks for the heads up on Norm's. Will have to check that place out when up that way next.

    Just swung in yesterday. They were closed for repairs. Closed down indefinitely actually. No point in wasting time and gas coming this far north.

    About 3 months ago I walked into a Shell in Ballard and they had a bunch of Arctic Devil on the shelves. It through me for a loop. I bought 4 and left. They could still be there!

    No way. Are you fucking with me? Are you talking about the shell on 15th by Safeway?

    I believe that's the one! If you walk straight in and go to the beer fridge directly in front of you that faces the counter. Check it out!

    You can probably just give them a call. Morgan's a cool dude.

    Haha no dice on AD at the shell, I went there only to find all the usual gas station beers. I can't believe you found that there. Blows my mind.

    Is there another shell close by? I don't remember exactly where it was. I think it might have been by the Mcdonalds?

    Searched Norms and saw the bar in Fremont, now I'm disappointed it's so far away. Also what is moscow?

    Forgot what years specifically, but Bottleworks also has Fish BA Poseidon and BA Leviathan. I want to say the Poseidon is 2001 (batch 3) and 2002 (batch 4), the Leviathan is 1999 (batch 1) and 2001 (batch 3). Someone would need to double check.

    8th & Market NW Shell has a reasonable beer selection for a gas station...

    Thanks for the tip! Was able to grab an Arctic Devil, they said the rest was reserved or something.

    I like this thread. It's like Match.com for beer geeks seeking rare beer.

    Stopped in @ Bottleworks yesterday afternoon, they still had La Gourmand but @ ~$37 I passed. Also had several vintages of Poseidon and Leviathan, ~$60+. More for you guys!

    I'll swing by for some Leviathan! Love that stuff. Did they have 2000 and 2001?

    I think so, either the Leviathan or Poseidon was 2001 but not 100% sure.
