    The list gets updated the morning after the shipment, but not on weekends or, it seems, holidays. With the Dissident, it was a godsend - who else would have figured Wheatsville Coop got a case? But because most of the Abyss shipments went out Friday, the list wasn't updated until Tuesday, and by that point people had figured out every HEB in town seemed to have gotten a case.

    DFW will have it at least by Tuesday. Mark it down guys!

    I just found out my county and the one adjacent are only getting 1 case total and all the bottles are pretty much sold already.

    Yea man, it's a bummer. And it was a store employee that told me that. I mean yea I expect a store's beer guy/guys are going to get a few, but damn. It's discouraging to have a store say they are getting some and pretty much tell you they aren't selling any in the same breath.

    The Whole Foods by me does that every year with their Divine Reserve... they always have a waiting list of sorts. Like when I've gone in to ask for it, they respond "are you on the list?" sorry, it's all reserved for people on the waiting list"

    Yep. And I've bought a lot of beer at that particular store over the past few years. Rest assured, I will find this beer elsewhere.

    This one is supposed to be a "first come, first serve" store. Lists are BS though. I don't think I've encountered a store that's shot me down due to a list yet. I'd challenge that on the spot. Surely management wont turn down right-now money.

    If you're in SA and didn't get any I would be glad to do an IPT at the JK#2 Anniversary party for some Freetail Porto Gallito I would be up for that.

    Good news, Austinites! The Brodie & W.C. HEB has Abyss and possibly Pumpkinator in stock. Bad news is that you won't get any unless you catch the beer/wine manager working, so you might want to call first. I tried to get a ballpark figure on Abyss, but they were saying much other than it's limit one per person regardless of multiple visits. The manager is good with faces, and she is the only one authorized to hand out bottles to prevent hoarding. Not sure if I scored the last Pumpkinator, but it's worth asking about if you end up taking a trip.
