Dissident in TX?

Any sightings on this? Will be bummed to find out that it has already come and gone

 

Just snatched a bottle at the Spec's in Corpus.

 

Wow that crazy.. You are the first people I have heard from Texas that has bought a bottle in store

 

One bottle left on the shelf. They may have more in the back.

 

Are you certain that thats this years batch?

 

Yep

 

It's not coming to Houston because of an unprecedented price increase taken by the distros on the rest of their beers.

 

Yes, 2012

 

wat?

 

Miller.Coors and AB took another price increase this year. That includes blue moon, shock top and all of their "craft" brands. The 2 Houston distributors took it upon themselves to include non-miller/Coors brands on the increase. Deschutes did not issue a price increase, just the distributors.

 

does this issue affect the abyss?

 

I bet it hits Austin on Thursday or Friday. There's no way the weekend passes us with only Corpus getting it.

 

It's not coming to Houston because the release size is so small. If its in corpus it's there because someone got sneaky...

 

That's what I was told by another store. That is Spec's m.o.

Either way it is amusing that we got something first, again.

 

Very odd. Specs Dallas had to reject their order yesterday because of the sku issue again.

 

I don't know how they ended up with it. It was all gone when I went. I hate my local specs.

Edit: not because they sold out, but because it is a horrible store.

 

I hope somewhere in fort worth gets it tomorrow. I will be up there this weekend, from Houston - which is not getting any...

 

Yeah I am really hoping for some sightings too!

 

I'm expecting some calls from people tomorrow. Ill have updates after noon

 

I was told it should be in Austin next week. My local Spec's got one case and the beer guy didn't even know what it was.(typical of the Corpus Spec's)
