    It looks like Abyss by Deschutes was officially released December 17, but nobody seems to know when it's going to hit the Houston area. Has anyone received any info on this? or seen it in stores yet?

    I heard there was an issue with the label approval and TABC. Supposed to be another 3 months before we see it here.

    Quote from HEB: "First off, Deschutes Abyss is still pending TABC approval. My supplier is telling me that the different BA variants are going to make it to the North Side!"

    TABC approved the label this week. Wish I knew how long it takes from approval to distribution, but I don't have a clue. Anyone up on that issue?

    From what I was told, the distributors have to wait on the brewery, Deschutes in this case, to let them know where and how much to allocate to each shop.

    Could have sworn seeing a picture of this at one of the bottle shops I follow on Facebook. 2015 release, right?

    Did I miss this around town? I saw bottle posted in the background of sunrise's post on Facebook and that was all I heard of it

    I stopped in and asked about it. He said he was holding it because there was a mixup on the label ( a delta of like .4 on abv) so he couldn't sell it. Deschutes also chimed in on a recent Untapped check in, and when I asked about Abyss in TX they confirmed they were dealing with label issues, but aiming for March 3rd
