Anyone have an idea where I could get some out here in Seattle? Bottleworks doesn't have it and neither does Uber Tavern. Haven't called Brouwer's but it's not on their website, and I haven't seen it there in the past. I had some at the New Orleans Restaurant down in Pioneer Square, but I don't think they'll just sell me bottles... (especially with the expected crowd that night) Any thoughts?

They were very friendly and sent me to the Bellevue Whole Foods (i forgot how large a specialty beer selection they have at various Whole Foodses) I will now be able to enjoy Turbo Dog and Jumbalaya on Sunday evening.

Thu Oct 11 21:17:17 -0700 2007 3026875 15855 mrnelso 1 3706186 There is a beer and wine shop in the Georgetown area (between Boeing Field and West Seattle) called Full Throttle Bottles that now carries Abita Amber, Purple Haze, and TurboDog. I was so happy to find them because I *love* Purple Haze! The owner will carry brands you request too. My hubby put in a request for Dixie Crimson Voodoo. http://www.fullthrottlebottles.com Tue May 20 14:36:45 -0700 2008 3026875 193912 happy2sing 2 3706595 Central Market up in Shoreline also has Abita, though it costs a pretty penny... Isn't Dixie out of business post-K? Tue May 20 17:03:46 -0700 2008 3706186 118970 fookystyle 3 3712940 Thanks for letting me know about Dixie. I just checked, and the latest report I found (dated 1/2008) says that they are contract brewing in Wisconsin while they rebuild their facilities in New Orleans. So their beer is available, but they admit that it doesn't taste like it used to. My hubby will be so disappointed! Thu May 22 15:03:45 -0700 2008 3706595 193912 happy2sing
