January 2, 20214 yr pre-new year with a 90s classic. Then drank the first non-texas (non-vacation) beer I've bought in probably 2 years in Maine BC Lunch. Not bad. Happy new year idiots.
January 2, 20214 yr I used to drink a lot of Nut Brown Ale back in the 90s and yet don’t know if I’ve had it since the 90s.

January 5, 20214 yr No pictures but my 2021 beer drinking so far.... Anchor Christmas Ale - Magnum bottle on NYE. I think I liked it but, yeah, it was a long night. Cyclers (Montgomery) mixed IPA sixer. East Coast (my favorite of the trio), West Coast IPA (very good in its own right) and a Gulf Coast IPA (good but a different take on IPAs). None are totally hoppy and all are more subdued than an old school IPA. Even if you are not a typical IPA drinker these are worth trying.

Yeah I know of two very established breweries in Austin that are just barely hanging on. Just cause I'm not drinking it, doesn't mean I'm not buying. I emptied the beer fridge over Christmas, it needs to be restocked and waiting.

Is that you? I met that guy one day. I said I was from the Internet. It was when we lived in Houston two years ago.

I'm not trying to be cryptic, it's just not really my news to tell and I don't know the real specifics anyway. I'll just say, and I believe @patrickdrinksbeer would agree, that it's extremely tough for ALL of them right now. Whatever means you have available, would be appreciated by any and all of your favorite local breweries. They're getting beat down right now.
January 6, 20214 yr Damn, hate to hear that about the local breweries. Hope Celis and the others can survive this mess, had no idea of their struggle.
January 6, 20214 yr I can tell which Iowa breweries are most comfortable financially, based on their COVID policy. There are two breweries in the state (that I know of) that aren't allowing any indoor seating (the state would let them do it with masking and spacing requirements) yet, and I can only assume that if they were in a tighter spot, they would be as open as legally allowed. I almost suspect that at least one of these is selling so many cans, that they're almost seeing a higher profit level in the short term because of the drastic drop in taproom staff and non-beer sale tap room expenses. I can't see how their volume of sales isn't affected, but I would have no idea.

My local beer bar/restaurant was a couple months shy of their 10 year anniversay and is closing in the next couple of days.
January 8, 20214 yr Yeah I feel bad for all of those in that business. We actually owned a burger joint with a full bar, sold it in November just before Covid showed up. Cannot tell you how happy I was to be out of that business but feel bad for the guys that bought it. I know they are struggling, not sure where they are financially but hope they can make it.
January 9, 20214 yr This beer is crystal clear. Really nice. drinking one of those right now, myself. thanks for the support!
January 9, 20214 yr drinking one of those right now, myself. thanks for the support!I've enjoyed all the beers I've had from you guys, but really digging this one. Maybe just because I had a shit week and this hit the spot. My wife loves the porter. Any plans to bring it back?
January 9, 20214 yr drinking one of those right now, myself. thanks for the support!Just saw an online ad for a service called HopDrip that apparently delivers Dallas beers to Houston and Houston beers to Dallas. Heard of it? Any thoughts on joining it?
