    Figured I'd start a thread so people can post new info and maybe look for people to meet up with/trade.

    Are you just asking for the info? Because nothing has been announced yet

    I believe this belongs in the Midwest thread since it takes place in St. Louis. [Mod edit: thread has been moved] I'd wait til we have more info though, otherwise this thread will turn into a speculation shit storm.

    I was sitting in a bar in Cleveland and surprisingly the 2 people next to me were talking about this. One guy said to the other they heard it's going to be the same day as dark lord day this year. Other guy said that was ridiculous. He heard it was really going to be the same day as Short's anniversary party this year.

    Personally, I think these guys were both idiots. I mean, who in Cleveland knows what's going on in St. Louis anyway?

    I was lucky enough to talk to a Perennial brewer at FOBAB. He said (back in November) that they just put the beer into barrels. Furthermore, he continued to say that it takes roughly 8 months to develop in the barrels. He said they didn't anticipate the massive success and wasn't ready to produce it so soon.

    I would look for a summer release.

    Its going to have a variety of release methods I believe. Either way they have been gauging the past releases with BA 17 and BA Sump to better ensure a smooth BA Abraxas release, I wouldn't worry.

    Considering I know 10+ people who struck out on the BA Sump lottery, BA Abraxas will be even harder to get. 1 winner for 50 losers? Maybe more?

    I know 10 also, I think its more like a 1/100 chance depending on bottle amount

    Each person will probably be more likely to win the Powerball than to win the opportunity to buy a BA Abraxas.

    If people just signed themselves up and not family/friends odds would be much better. Though I guess its no different than beinging mules with you to a release

    Do you think they will stick with the 2 limit or maybe go 1 per person?

    BA 17 was 2 bottle limit, BA Sump was a 1 bottle limit. I would guess that BA Abraxas would be a 1 bottle limit in a lottery.

    FRUSTRATING!!! I've tried to sign up for their mailing list & while I get a message that a confirmation email will be sent, it never is...I've tried using both email addresses...tried calling the brewery...tried emailing them. FRUSTRATING!!!
