    You can try to walk south on Broadway to between 10th and 9th streets to Milk and Hops (~10 min walk). But not sure if they have any left.

    Honestly I would be surprised if anything is there, unless they have a delivery within like an hour or two of when you get there. These beers have probably seen the shortest "shelf" time of any beer in NYC that I can recall

    Yeah, I'm not counting on anything. Randomly saw some Tesseract at Vitner's Wine Market on 9th and was told it was $12.99 a can to take away (limit of 2), so I laughed and walked out. Luckily I had a pour of BA Double Negative at Ginger Man on Friday and a can of Tesseract at Torst yesterday (best $5 I've spent so far this weekend) and loved them both.

    Curious what you thought of Tesseract and BA Double Neg? Us homers can be a little biased about our local stuff.

    Wow that's ridiculous gouging.

    BA Double Neg was awesome. Great mouth feel, right amount of barrel and just an overall treat. Tesseract was solid, though I had my can after spending the prior 90 minutes tearing through Other Half's tap list. I would put it below Greenbacks, Simcoe, Green Diamonds and Street Green, but ahead of Amarillo and Forever Ever. FWIW, my girlfriend who hates hops said of Tesseract, "Mmmmm, that's not bad!". ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    Hey guys, I just got back into town and was hoping to score a bottle of BBADN... Anyone know of places in Nassau and Suffolk that still have it that aren't on beermenus?

    If you're actually in the city, book it to Whole Foods Bowery - see above. 1 bottle limit, you have to ask for it.

    Happen to notice if any Purple Prose was left? For some reason that's the one Grimm bottle I've had a hard time tracking down.

    At around noon they had plenty it appeared. It was on the shelves to the left of the closed door cooler bank.

    Yeah they have Purple Prose. Just ask if you don't see it on the shelf.

    Tesseract going down so easy. A bit drier than Afterimage, with a bit more bitterness.

    Foodtown of Harlem appear to be about done with the Tesseract. They didn't get the BBDN.

    Yea its just a label covering all of the can.

    Also, 3 cans of Tess at Cannibal (gotham west mkt) on the backside of the cooler where the cake/pastry lady is at. Dude said he didn't get bbdn yet & may not get it at all. Price was about $7/can. Unsure about limits.

    If anyone is game, Cucina in Forest Hills, Queens had a few BBA Double Negative bottles and one Tesseract can after I left. Cheers.
