Abyss Sightings

As for Bay area vs SD area Costcos, aside from distributorship differences, the two regions operate largely independently from one another. Each region can make its own decision about what items to carry. (I know several people in sales who work directly with Costco)

 

Paid like $22.00 for my FW 16th @ the turlock bevmo, picked up 2 (ouch!), zero Abyss in this area. I might have to take a road trip to the livermore/pleasanton area and see if i can find one. I've been wanting to try it for years.

 

Pete's Liquor in Tracy. Got 2 for $15/piece. Only for regulars though. Went in, got some RR stuff for a trade and the dude walked out the back with 2 bottles for me. It wasnt on the shelf at all

 

Saw some last night at Stouterday. So close, yet so far away!

 

Bevmo in Santa Monica has around 3 cases on display. $14.99 per bottle.

 

It was on the shelves at a local Safeway yesterday. It lasted less than 24 hours and was sold out - $16/bottle.

 

I know that a safeway in san jose had over 50 bottles and was misspriced for 5.99 a bottle with club card. Luckily i have 9 bottles now.

 

Jesus, I would've bought an entire case for the price of 4 and some change. How I wish my Safeway made that mistake

 

some stores are choosing who to sell this too, at least thats what im noticing. make friends with your local beer and liquor stores ya never know.

 

I thought 9 was enough. Hopefully some other people will get to enjoy the beer too.

 

Thanks a lot for this info! Stopped by after work today and surprisingly there were still 2 full cases on display.. got my 2 bottles so I'm happy.

 

Jug Shop on Polk and Pacific in SF just got a case today.
1 bottle limit, $12.99 per

 

If only everyone thought this way. To my suprise Dissident showed up in my area for the first time ever (or atleast in the 3-4 yrs i've been ISO of craft) Grabbed my 2 left the remaining 5. I know there's someone that's gonna walk in there and be just as suprised/excited to see it on the shelf as i was.

 

Whole Foods on 22nd in Santa Monica has PLENTY to go around. And Knuckle Sandwich.

 

If anyone is planning on hitting the slopes in Mammoth then pop in to Mammoth Liquors. I picked up 3 bottles tonight. I asked if I should just take 2 and leave one for the next guy and was told the shop had received 6 cases.

 

Good to know sloelco!

 

Not cheap...

that's bullshit..not only price gouging but you also have to purchase 11 other items. sounds like a heck of a deal

 

There are many better places for me, but for someone not on the West coast....

 

If they don't sell the bottles, they'll just mark them up in a year, and eventually sell them to someone who's new to the hobby but wants aged beer. As much as BA complains about high prices and shitty policies of "Buy X other beers to get access to Beer Y," it obviously works since Freddy and other retailers who push the envelope are still in business.
