    Has Descutes Abyss 2013 hit anywhere in Houston yet? I've dropped by the Specs close to where I live and there's been no luck there. I've gone by the local HEBs that normally carry better beer selections and have had no luck.

    Has anyone seen it anywhere in Houston (or surrounding areas)?

    Clear Lake Specs has (had) it. I suspect Friday or Mondwy for Houston.

    No worries! You'll probably end up trading/selling/giving it to someone down here anyway!

    I was at the SL Saucer on Friday and the distributors were there having a beer. I noticed that their worksheet said Abyss, so I asked what the deal was. They said its all here and they were just finalizing allocations. It should definitely be this week. They said about 50 cases for Houston. According to what I could see on the sheet, it was 25 to Specs, 7 for Kroger stores and 6 for Whole Foods. Didn't see the other side of the sheet.
