    I'm told $18 pre-tax was the price. I could offer 3 bottles of BCBS for a bottle.

    In the ATX I would try some of those outlying HEBs that had the Abyss for some ridiculous reason.

    I think DFW still has a shot, as I am hearing from multiple retailers (other than Fern) they still have some coming...we will see...

    Not solely directed at you but I wouldn't buy either "fact" you were given. And with the number of lurkers on BA let's try not to create a false panic (See:Abyss).

    Not that the guys at CM are clueless, you just gotta question where they get their info from.

    20 cases for the Houston Market sounds closer to what I have been hearing. I know some bars have gotten it but they are holding it for now. So theres still a chance to try it for those out there that missed.

    Got a bottle from CM NLamar yesterday morning...but there was only one case so I'm guessing it went very quickly.

    Of course. I THOUGHT about driving over there yesterday morning, then decided against it. Dumbass.

    I'm officially done with this beer in Austin. Unless a case happens to drop right in front of me in a store I'm already at...I'm tapping out. I scraped and clawed for my 2 bottles and BA Bigfoot officially goes down as my #1 toughest bottle ever in Austin, TX...Good luck if you're still in the hunt.

    It really just showed up unannounced for a sought after beer at most places without much fanfare and there haven't been many good leads on where to look. I was fortunate to grab 2 cases. JK, I only got one.

    I'm sure it was the 'rare' in it you tasted that made it so great. :wink:

    Honestly no. I had no clue it was as rare as it is when I had it. I had a "1-man bottle share" which basically means, in order to try out a few things before I aged them (for comparison) as well as being able to try a bunch of things with my wife rather than 1 bottle, I had a few people over to share some of my stash. It was one of them and it was fantastic. Here's basically what I cracked for everyone:

    You can see, it was in good company when it was assessed too
