Brewery only.  Spend the time, go there, and get HI-C to go along with it.   Then bring it all to me.  Kthxbye

What else do you have to do right now?

i'm actually working but point taken. i might could make the drive.

along those lines: recommend me a new"er" brewery to try to swing by this weekend.  I'm southwest and have kids, so closeness counts.

sw like dripping springs area, or at least heading out 290 that direction?

This is an incredible beer and an even better can.

You’re in Houston, right? I’ve never shipped beer but I could figure it out. What’s hot in Houston right now? I follow Brash brewing because it cracks me up but no idea if it’s any good.

Brash isn't selling much right now, but I love their stouts. As mentioned above Great Heights makes some good shit. Spindletap and BaaBaa make some great hazy IPAs. Can also get Parish down here if you can't get that up there. I've never shipped either. Cousin back on the East Coast was supposed to start trading with me, but flaked out.

 

And yes, I'm in the Houston area.

How Bizarre pale ale from From The Earth in Roswell, GA. Pint glass, but wish it hadn't happened. Insipid, sort of hoppy crap that pales (haha) in comparison to your basic adjunct lager. 

Actually speaking of really cool cans, I’m a big fan of Barebottle Brewing out of San Francisco:

Beyond having very tasty beers and cool enough looking can art, the really cool and unique thing about their cans is they put their recipe right there on the can for others to try:

Buddy from Houston gave me some B52 stuff on a backpacking trip, really enjoyed it and hadn’t heard of them

From there a St Elmo, Live Oak, Hi Sign run is not bad in the traffic these days.

Yup.  Even from Cedar Park, takes me almost no time to hit Live Oak.  I've been about once per week during these difficult times.

OK more than that,  don't tell my boss.

Ya that’s my normal rotation. Didn’t know if nomadic or southern heights were worth adding in

Southern Heights has good beer but haven't been for pickup lately.  Shit, I didn't even know about Nomadic.  Will check it out one of these days.

Kicked the Lagerish keg at Growler Spot moments ago.
Really hope Growler Spot makes it through this. That guy knows good beer.

Yep. Big year 5 for them and Josh got married. I hate that I can’t grab a nice pint while my growlers are filled. Some of those beers are $40+ for a 64oz fill. I can tolerate an $8-10 pint with food and socializing, but I can get 2 bbls of WTI for $40...makes it hard to get what I’d like.

Settled into a quarantine routine where this weekend was a BaaBaa and Growler Spot run (usually Parish and Great Heights fills)

Every other weekend is Fulbrook, Texas Leaguer, or Running Walker. (Good not great, but local beer)

Agreed. Picked up a couple crowlers a few weeks ago and it was pretty pricey. I want them to survive though so it's worth it every now and then. Was good to see others in there as well picking stuff up. I haven't made it out to BaaBaa to do any of their to-go, but need to.

I kind of like the ipa that Texas leaguer has.

This is really good.

Fist non stout/porter I’ve had from them.

I love live oak, but it makes me shake my head a bit when they charge $12 per sizer of Pils at the brewery and it is 7.99 at central market. I get why they do it, but damn. Alcohol is such a weird business

$12 seems a little steep but is $7.99 the regular price? i’m guessing that’s a sale price.

Yeah I would think $9.99 or even $8.99 regular price.

$12 a sixer is like gas station in the middle of nowhere price for regular everyday beer. Now if it was a brewery only special something, then sure.

The brewpub I normally go to charges $10 a sixer.

Don’t be a bitch. Buy 2 cases and let them get that mo betta margin. Support your locals.

Live Oak is charging $12/6-pack of their mainstays, and $10/6-pack of seasonals/specialties.  I'm already well-stocked on Pilz and Hefe, so on my trips out to the brewery,  I've been buying their specialty pilsners they're doing in one-off batches, their Schwarz, and their Roggenbier rye which is really, really tasty.  

Yeah, $10 seasonals by LO are awesome. that JK stout put me on my ass on saturday holy shit.

Blonde ale from Wild Leap in LaGrange, GA. Hit the spot on a warm day.

Shit--from there (512) is practically around the corner.

Word on the street is that Saint Arnold was gonna buy B52 before COVID?

saw that on reddit. doesn’t make much sense to me unless the daniels just desperately want out of the business and were willing to take a low valuation that SA couldnt pass up.

How's business for you, pdb?   I hope you're managing through this alright, or at least as well as can be.  Hang in there, seriously.

General consensus on this? I thought it hit the spot this afternoon. Had never seen or heard of it before today. Gal at my CBC store recommended it.
