    Jeeze stupid Houston distribution. Driving through OR and WA now and still seeing it all over. Stopped at The Bier Stein last night and they had 4+ cases just sitting there still. Not wanting to deal with transport back to TX yet and expecting it still in Houston but will be annoyed if it doesn't show. Luckily my GF will be in the area and can grab more if it is still around if necessary but this is not a good alternative to normal TX distribution.

    same deal for me over the last couple of months. I have picked up a couple here and there and drank them though.

    East 1st Grocery (Austin) just got more Abyss in, along with more Funk Metal and Wunderkind. FYI

    Reminded me of Tthe Money Pit...

    [Walter has missed a meeting with the permit man, who got steamed and left]
    Curly: If he ever does come back, you call me and we'll finish the job.
    Walter: When I do get the permits, how long will the job take?
    Curly: Two weeks.
    Walter: Two weeks? Two weeks?
    Curly: You sound like a parakeet there. "Two weeks! Two weeks!"
    Walter: Well, two weeks. It- it's amazing.
    Curly: Amazing nothing. It'll be a regular miracle.

    I was off today and went to several different places looking for it. Went to the Specs on Smith Street, the guy there didn't know anything. Went to D&Q and Brandon really wasn't certain when it would be in.

    I've heard it may start popping up around DFW tomorrow. If not then, early next week.

    That's coming from a BEK guy.

    This.

    What the hell? It went to every HEB in the Austin Metro? Did Whole Foods get ANY? Must be some HEB-Skullduggery.

    Whole Foods Downtown Austin was mentioned as having it "in the back" I assume it's gone by now.

    Sounds like every HEB in Travis County got it.

    I tried to keep this whole thing on the DL as I didn't want to spread any information that wasn't true. This is essentially what happened (from the mouth of the HEB guys).

    Went to the Parmer/McNeil HEB Saturday in search of Abyss. Talked the beer guy who then talked to his distributor. He told me the Lakeline and Volente locations would be getting it in Monday. Score! I walk in to each of the locations that were supposed to have the Abyss Monday. Both told me that their distributor did not have it in the warehouse for some reason and both were very pissed. Both call their distributor and find out that it just so happened to be at another warehouse and the Abyss would should up Tuesday. Beer guy at HEB didn't get there until Wednesday, so it didn't hit the shelves until Wednesday.

    Take all that for what its worth. I honestly didn't even know if it would be there when I showed up today.
