That's pretty sweet. I'm never in town the day after Thanksgiving so picking up BCBS is pretty hopeless for me. I eventually wound up at a couple stores on that Friday that had it at one point (random craft beer store in Healdsburg, Bevmo in San Rafael) but both had sold out. Any idea where I still might find it in California?

I can't remember what adjectives I'd use to describe it but I also remember not being a huge fan of Abyss. I have a 2013 bottle in my collection so I'll have to take some notes when I finally break it out.
I'm currently hoping it doesn't snow in Tahoe on Saturday so I can drive up and collect my 2014 Eclipse from FiftyFifty's brewery. The week after I'll be stopping by The Bruery on my way to San Diego to pick up probably 15-20 bottles from there I've ordered throughout the year including several Black Tuesdays. Lots of beer in my future
Lately I tried Almanac Dogpatch Sour for the first time as well as their Tequila Barrel Noir (stout aged in tequila barrels). I liked the sour a lot, the stout was tasty but probably not as worth it ($10 for 12oz bottle).
