    Still looking. Got 2 PM's but nothing secured. Premium draught had a case today but it went quick, I'm sure. I have American Solera bottles, if anybody has any leads.

    I shared my bottle from Specs Black Friday, and then realized, I need more of this in my life. Did Real Ale release bottle count info?

    Central Market Houston "found" another case on Sunday if you ask for it.

    Has anybody tried this/have any thoughts on the quality? It's still readily available on Austin shelves. I'm not a big fan of Real Ale's usual offerings but figure they must have a pretty solid barrel program.

    Of course its still available on Austin shelves



    And Real Ale has the best barrel program in the state, hands down

    Blasphemy...

    I managed to score a bottle of this...can't wait to try it. Surprised there aren't more reviews for it.

    Scored a bottle of this as well. IIRC there were a few label approvals earlier this year for more bottles in the MV series. I might wait to open it side-by-side with a few of those.

    Real Ale is too big to do on-site sales. Distro is explained in the link

    I got a bottle of Aeterna. I enjoyed it, extremely solid beer, no frills but perfectly executed. I picked up a variety six pack of Real Ale on recommendation from this thread and while I did enjoy it, I still probably prefer Live Oak's offerings for stuff that's easy to grab.

    Benedictum is hitting shelves in Austin now. Looks to be more up my alley than the Aeterna, I'm looking forward to it. I'll try to pick up a couple extra bottles while I'm out if anyone is looking for it. Still pretty sure there is more Aeterna out there as well.
