The last time The Abyss Beer was released it caused a frenzy with cases literally flying off shelves. It's only available at select locations, and Belmont Station (4500 SE Stark.) is one of them. They're selling The Abyss starting on 11/18 at 5pm with a 2 bottle limit per customer.
Cases are also available at The Deschutes Brewery (210 NW 11th Avenue) who expects to sell out sometime today. Brewpublic has an excellent write up on this beer.
