    Bristol Farms has it in, 4 cases, no limit, $14.99 I believe.

    That's about what I'll pay. Bevmo should get it though and will probably be the lowest.

    Love the price gouging already on a 100,000+ bottle count beer.

    Yeah - I have had a few interesting encounters there.

    Bristol Farms - hmmmm...

    Is a 12 foot Abyss a 3L or a magnum?

    I have never understood the hype on this beer.

    If I find a few bottles this year, I simply am going to throw them in my "cellar" and forget about them. I have not liked it "fresh" as much as some of the other hyped barrel aged stouts (e.g. Parabola), so I thought I would just age it and see if I like it better that way.

    13.99 would be more accurate.

    I was good and did not clean out the store. Got one for now, one for later.

    That's what you think. I bet there are still about a half dozen hidden in storage. :slight_smile:

    I doubt too many "others" ever get access to it. I sure as hell wouldn't.

    Next up - the Abyss hitting BevMo. Fun ensues. I'll just get the rest of my stash from the Keg Guys - little competition there!

    BineVine put out a tweet - one bottle limit, naturally.

    I'm guessing almost all the BevMos will see it within a day if they don't already have it.

    Wonder if Bevmo will limit it. They should get a large amount. La Mesa had over 12 cases of BB which is probably similar in bottle count.

    Don't think they will. Got on the waiting list and got my call today. Guy asked me how many he should put away for me. Got the impression it was not limited. Only asked for 1 though. Got most of my supply in the mail. Props to Brewforia, by the way. Price and shipping were both really reasonable.
