Hard to find beer?
My father asked me today if I knew about a beer which is about $10 per 22oz bottle, sold only in cases, made in Oregon and apparently very hard to find. He didn't seem to think it was a Hair of the Dog, Rogue or Deschutes. He seemed to think the name of the beer was like Vixen or Vampire or...?
Does anyone have a clue what he's talking about?

Your dad is most definitely talking about Abyss by Deschutes. It is now selling on ebay and Craig's List for $41 a bottle. It is a truly magnificent stout if you can manage to get your hands on any. Markets here in Oregon sold out -- we're waiting for our local publicans to start pouring the draft version.

Interesting, I have two bottles I got in a trade. I sampled Abyss on draft, and thought it was pretty rough around the edges. I've had a lot of Imperial Stouts, and to me this one could do with some aging. I'm planning on sitting on my bottles at least a year, if not longer.

Sampled last years about a month ago--it mellows out nicely with a bit of age on it. I still have two sitting in the cellar from last year and re-upped with a couple from this year.
