The Abyss is Here!

We received our allocation of Deschutes Abyss this morning, and it's ready for sale. Due to the overwhelming volume of calls and emails we've received regarding the beer we'll need to enforce a limit of 3 bottles per person (per day) for at least the duration of the weekend. This should allow us to provide at least 120 people with an opportunity to dive into the Abyss.

Here's what the brewery has to say about the beer:

The Abyss: Stout brewed with licorice and molasses with 33% aged in oak and oak bourbon barrels. It’s dark. It’s deep. It’s mysterious. Aged in French Oak and Bourbon barrels, this special brew has immeasureable depth inviting you to explore and discover it’s rich, comples profile. The flavor of molasses and licorice draw you in further and further with each sip. The Abyss beckons. Enjoy the journey.

On a related note, we still have a few cases of the two previous Reserve Series Beers available - Mirror Mirror and Black Butte XXI. If you're buying The Abyss as a gift for someone you might want to consider picking up one of each of these as well to make a deliciously decadent gift set for the beer lover(s) in your life.


ACK!!!! The delivery was rolling in as I wrote this, and unfortunately there were some casualties. When beer geeks talk about "drain pours" this isn't quite what they mean. :(
