    Hits Houston soon. Never had it, but I've heard a lot about it. It does sell out really quickly... but I feel Louisiana folk just talk about it so they can feel cool and be annoying.

    I'm determined to finally try it this season. Is it worth the hype?

    Word on the street is any day now. In other words, call every 2 days and make sure you don't miss it.

    Going to rep you for starting this thread because I want to make sure I get me some of this. I forgot about it (shame on me!) and would have missed it. I've only had two bottles in the past two years!

    Love this beer.

    It's always a hit at parties as well.

    Can anyone confirm whether or not it's out in stores today? Someone I talked to "in the know" said it should be in stores today.

    It's good. Different but not overbearingly sweet or fruity. Tasty beer.

    I've had Purple Haze but never heard of this. Hopefully my favorite bar has it (I'm fairly certain) and I'll check it out this weekend.

    I just called a Specs near me to see if they have it yet and the guy said they don't carry Abita products.

    I told him that I've purchased it there before and that I believe they carry all of the Abita products and he told me I was mistaken.

    I know they do. I'm not mistaken about where I've purchased Abita products at before. The guy on the phone was an idiot. I just called another Spec's and the guy said he doesn't know when they will have it but they don't have it today.

    A lady answered who couldn't speak English and she asked her manager. (I think manager)

    It's the Gessner location.

    Never heard of them. Can you buy six packs there or is that a bar?
