    One per person for those who have reservations to the event? Or one per person to the public?

    abyss isn't in the Chicago market so it is highly doubtful

    Yes, those with reservations. Depending on the allotment, it could be either one each of Abyss and Black Butte, only one of Abyss or Black Butte, or the lottery.

    Looking forward to the event tomorrow, sorted my work schedule out so I can be off relatively early tomorrow. I'll be the dorky guy with glasses twiddling on his phone and drinking Abyss... If there's bottles, cool, if not should be a good time anyway.

    So there's a chance everyone who reserved a spot may be able to purchase a bottle of Abyss as well? Just asking cuz I saw no mention of this previously on the boards or in the event description.

    So it will prolly be a raffle toward the middle of the evening for a bottle of one or the other. Didn't get what was originally requested for the event....

    Looking forward to a fresh glass myself....

    Just got a Twitter reply that it will be $15.99 each. For those that are budgeting the evening.

    A few bucks more than it's typical retail price, but not too terrible.

    So I guess they're doing a raffle for the Abbyss/Black Butte XXIV bottles around 7-7:30. Not much help for those of us who are getting there early to be able to take off early for other commitments.

    Same boat, but at least we get a glass from the tap! Raffle will prolly be more around 6:30. Either way, I can't stay that long regardless. Better odds for those of you staying....

    You *just* found out there were going to be bottles of Abyss and Black Butte XXIV.
