Had some extra time yesterday before the game so I hit up Bell Springs, One Shot, Fitzhugh, Jester King, and Meanwhile. Swung by Double Horn and Bear King today on the way to Inks Lake SP. All of em were packed to the gills except for One Shot. 
 

Not shockingly, One Shot was the worst of the bunch. 

 Bell Springs was solid for a brew-winery. Nice spot as well. Its far out there tho
 

Fitzhugh was also extremely nice. Central TX farmhouse style setup. Gigantic playground and outdoor area. The IPA and the Australian Sparkling Ale werent half bad. Food was claimed to be made in house, but a Poke E Joes employee delivered the food to our table. 
 

Meanwhile is a gigantic setup. Crazy lines for beer. Got a few to go in some crowlers.... werent many spots to sit/hang out because it was so busy. Location is awful (between Orf brewing and Independence), but they seem to have some strong initial hype. The IPAs I had were strong for a brand new venture.

 

I knew what I was getting myself into with Double Horn. Wasnt expecting much. The food was better than I expected and the beers were pretty meh. Had two different IPAs and a Pale Ale.

 

Bear King is literally across the street. Awesome place for Marble Falls. Food looked good (didnt order any) and the place was pretty busy. Had a little too much to drink at Double Horn and so we got some crowlers to go. 

Shot 92 today so I needed a little something to pick me up.

“I’ve seen things”.

We all know that 2020 has been the year of the themed pint glass with your beer.

I’m here to let you know that 2021 will be the year of the themed background with your beer.

I believe they were having Ingenious on as guest taps.

No just saw this one as a single and actually would have probably passed on the others as a chocolate stout I can get my head around.

Porter kind of night.0c39f399fa8f5a88e73696fabef95ee2.jpg

Pecan porter just sounds like something that would hit the damn spot

It does. It's good stuff.

Not quite as good as Allagash Saison, and not close to the OG DuPont.

Primus, imo.

Been killing these the last week. Make it year round!

Not much of a pumpkin beer guy, but the time was right and this was subtle.

Real Ale blew me away with their Bomber variety pack last Winter.  This is a nice offering going into Fall.  Glad they put their Black Quad in there in the place of some lighter stuff from the past few years.

Their variety packs are great. Wish more breweries did them. Really like the Nomad.

Heh, you know the comparison is strong, when Devil's Backbone is considered "lighter stuff." :)

Real Ale does good Belgians, that's for sure.

Look at you, always looking for cheap "likes." :)

I want to bust into my Treehugger tonight as a celebration, but I'm not sure I should drink it if the Horns win, or if the Horns lose and usher out the Tom Herman era.  It's truly a dilemma.

 

Might be regional, mine has like 5 DFW breweries then real ale and left hand. Shiner obviously. Usually in the $22-25 range too so solid deal.

But then I have to deal with the dud in the variety pack.  Bought an Elysian IPA variety pack 2 years ago and I still have 4 Avatar Jasmine flavored IPAs in the back of garage fridge.

Yea I mean I don’t buy ones that are 1/4 something I know I won’t drink, like jasmine IPAs

That's the beauty of the Bomber and Belgian VP's by Real Ale.  0% shitty beer factor.

First thing I do when looking at a VP in the store is , "Ok how many IPA's, blueberry ales, and bullshit are in this?  Oh, zero?  Ok.   I am interested."

Yeah, if I had realized it was I might have skipped it.  I saw Spacedust and Immortal and figured whats the worst that could happen.  I found out.

 

Also another thing COVID has fucked up is my strategy to get rid of those stragglers.  Normally throw them in the beer cooler for a big barbecue or hang out and they disappear.  Of the two that are gone I drank one and pawned one off on my unsuspecting brother during Superbowl.

Texas Beer Co. out of Taylor might have the worst IPA I’ve ever tried.

Buddy brought some samples he got at a work thing. Just brutal.

This is the best pils I’ve had in awhile.

Before I get grilled about “New Zealand style”, it’s just where the hops come from

Pliny, Mango Hefeweizen and Strawberry Berliner-Weisse were good. The blackberry cider was way too fucking sweet.

Been drinking a lot of the Steigl Pils lately which is a really surprising thing to say but it’s pretty great and cheap.
