    Deschutes finally made its way to Chicago recently and I was wondering if I'll ever be able to pickup a bottle of The Abyss in my area.

    I believe it is a late fall/early winter release, and it is available throughout their distribution area.

    Not that it is easy to get east of the rockies, though.

    Typically it has been released late November/early December in Oregon/PacNW...with distribution to follow elsewhere soon after. Not sure how The Abyss gets divided up, now that Deschutes has expanded to the Midwest and beyond... [see notes re: past release times and production numbers]

    And, NO, it's definitely not a brewery-only release :slight_smile:

    Just got a very small amount in PA. Beer store I go to told me only nine cases to the whole state, they got one case of 12.

    In WA, it wasn't that hard to get last year. Some places had bottle limits but it was around for at least a week or so. Price was anywhere from as low as $12 to 16 per bottle.

    Late Fall release it was harder to get this year then the previous 2 years sells for around $12
