    ah.. mine has an actual beer/wine lady that stays on top of things and controls the special releases... which... has been good for me... as I've been able to get off at 3 and still grab a bottle of Bodacious/Frageelay as she imposed a 1 bottle limit. The limit also helped me grab some DR12 which I'm still aging.... and I didn't get there until 4pm on release day.

    She did let me buy two bottles of Pumpkinator when I gave her the sad face and showed her the pic of the Katy area HEB with about a zillion bottles out with no limit.. (at least for a little while)

    I scored 6 Pumpkinators at the Katy store when the 1st case was put on the floor. Also scored a Funk Metal last week as well.

    Sorry to burst the collective bubble, Abyss friends...
    Long story short, the label was not approved by the TABC in time for delivery to distributors in Texas...
    We aren't going to see it this year. :angry: Can we say "Beer Trader", People?
    But hey, cheer up, we have Rahr Iron Thistle (2-year Gold/Silver Winner for best Scottish ale at GABF) and more Dogfish 120 to look forward to this year! Much love from Texas...

    Careful what you post man...I for one think this is false information. After the Black Butte issue in Texas last year I don't think Deschutes would let this happen. Why not just hold the delivery until approval is given?

    Not true. Reliable source (aka distributor source) says week of 28th. It's here...we're getting it.

    Didn't want to add to the rumor mill but about a week ago I "heard" the 28th as well from a distributor source.

    Let the disinformation begin!

    No way they let the Abyss slip from us, it would be bad juju for them in the opinion of many beer lovers in Texas.

    Is this disinformation from a reliable or unreliable source? I don't like getting disinformation from on unreliable source who can't be relied upon to give a reliable disinformation.

    I asked my "Magic 8 Ball" if this post was true and it said... "My Sources Say NO". Oh, the irony!

    Now we know where he got the name Stupor.

    It's here, sitting and waiting. There's some sort issue but it actually isn't the TABC this time.

    Jester King burned down. And Dissident is infected.

    Whole foods in atx got dissident and said abyss is still coming. If dissident finally hit there I believe the "beer goddess" at whole foods that abyss isn't far behind.

    Which Whole Foods? Called N. Lamar and Arbor Trails yesterday and neither said they had it.

    I talked to somebody from Ben E Keith and they said Abyss will be hitting this week, but the guy is sometimes wrong. Has anybody heard this too?

    Kings reported that it may be on the truck tommorow. At least now stores are getting the option

    Tarrant/Denton should be getting it 1st in DFW, so this sounds legit.

    I can't explain it because I don't get it. The last 2 years this is how it was and for whatever reason they are doing it again.

    I can't speak for other areas but I was told Specs in the DFW area's were not receiving Abyss. They also did not sell Dissident. Anyone know what the hell is going on with Specs and Deschutes releases up here?

    Same happened to me at Specs in SA. They told me that Black Butte wasn't coming to Texas. This was after I bought a bottle at the Whip In 2 days prior.

    I don't get it either. I remember them having a SHIT ton of Stoic when that was out last.
