    I just picked this up at Sunrise Mini-Mart. It's a limit of 2 cans per person though ($5.99 for two). I was talking to the guy at the counter and mentioning Mid-Western beers and he took it out of their secret hiding place. They have more.

    when i was in houston in feb it was like they couldnt give away bottles of BA XXIII. I got one in trade from will, then found about 10 more in the specs in houston near katy. (no idea what store number or anything, dont know the area well). Needless to say, i had at least 3 more bottles before i went home at the end of feb lol

    Haha you did well to drink it when it was in it's prime! I had a bottle recently that was all chilies and was pretty much a mess. To be honest I thought the stuff was sold out when we made a trade, but it keeps popping up in off the grid Specs like the one you mentioned. If you have any trouble getting any BB24, or ever need a Karbach can mule I am your man!

    lol, yeah i had expected that sucker to be sold out as well. It worked for me either way, since i got mroe than 1 bottle and i was able to advocate my own favorite brew La Muerta to you! (which i still have 1 bottle left, waiting for an exact year to hit before drinking, it willl be my first successful aged beer LOL) Not to mention that it was great to meet a houston ba!

    Any idea if Positive Contact will be in "box sets"? I'd love to find a complete 6-bottle set w/ record on a shelf. I know these bastards in South Austin are going to break them up.

    Nice, had Rumble on tap last night at Blackfriar in Dallas. It's definitely got a strong smell to it. Have you heard of the BB 24 anywhere in Dallas?
